It’s Confetti Egg Stuffing time! We have 1400+ dozen empty egg shells ready to stuff for the upcoming Parish Fair! We need your help getting them all stuffed before the Fair. Please join us every Tuesday and Thursday morning in the CYO Room immediately following morning drop off. Stay for a little or stay for a lot! We usually stuff eggs for a couple of hours, so you can join us at any time. No experience necessary! We have highly qualified, experienced confetti egg stuffers who can train you. You too can become an expert Confetti Egg Stuffer!
 
New Moms – don’t be afraid to join us! It’s a great way to meet other moms and get involved in the preparations for the Fair. If you have infants, bring them with you. Little ones are welcome – as long as they don’t smash the eggs! The CYO Room is located on the second floor of the Incarnate Word building. That’s the building to the right of the school office, in between the office and the Barrett Building. Please check in at the front desk and Ms. Debbie will direct you to the room.
 
We hope to see you on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Questions?? Contact the Confetti Egg Booth Chairs – Karen Reinhardt [email protected] and Mary Hawes [email protected] .
