Ski Trip to Itasca State Park



8th Annual ITASCA STATE PARK trip - Jan 29-31
When: Jan 29 – 31 2010

http://www.frassatisocietymn.org/calendar-of-events.html
Costs: for gas, lodging, food and park permits we ask for $80 from each person Extras: XC ski rental is $24, snowshoes are $6
RSVP’s: Beds will be held with a $45 down payment by Dec. 28. After Jan. 1 all unreserved beds will not be held for us! It’s the time of year when we start talking about our annual winter migration north! If you haven’t been there yet, we whole-heartedly invite you to join us! You can look forward to breathing in the sweet smelling air, listening to the wind blow through the pines and cozying up in the freshly renovated hostel with some true Frassati camaraderie! With the Mississippi Headwaters Hostel as our rendezvous point, we typically snowshoe or cross country ski on the pine-surrounded trails & open lakes, enjoy family-style meals, play cards or games and take lots of naps by the fireplace. Please consider making your down payment by Monday, Dec. 21. We must pay half the cost of renting the whole hostel by Jan. 1 and would appreciate any help we can get! Make your checks out to “Frassati Society of MN” and send them to Mary Stoick at 1723 Wordsworth Ave, St Paul MN 55116.

Volunteers needed



As we prepare to celebrate the joyous Christmas season, let us remember those for whom the blanket of snow and dipping temperatures are cause for real concern. If you can, please consider helping with a meal or to staff the Church of the Week overnight shift so that no one has to sleep outside this winter, please reply to saintcloudtot@gmail.com or call Place of Hope and ask for Conrad: 320-203-7881. St. Anthony's parish was also intersted in a young adult group of volunteers for this task.
