3 sister’s Doreen, Lisa and Debbie and his Aunts Flo, Rosemary, and Connie andmany cousins who cooked a fabulous Italian meal for all the golfers and guests.We weathered a terrific storm at the beginning of the golf outing and then we werewithout power in the Parish Center. We enjoyed a sumptuous Italian meal and LasVegas night by candlelight, cell phone lights, flashlights and battery lights. It wasan amazing evening as everyone pitched in to bring light into the darkness. Ap-proximately $20,000 was raised to support St. Dennis School. Thank you to all whoparticipated and those who worked so hard to make such a successful and won-derful day. The golf event was a scramble. The winning team, consisting of NickFogolton and his golf buddies, was 12 under par.
