'Fat Tuesday' - Spaghetti Feed
The St. John’s Academy School Board will host the 9th Annual ‘Fat Tuesday’ Spaghetti Feed Tuesday, March 8, 2011, the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, from 4:30pm-7:30pm in the Zebedee Center on to promote cooperation and togetherness within the school, parish and community, and to raise funds for the students of St. John’s Academy. Last year's event grossing over $2,800 and feeding over 500 hungry people
The St. John’s Academy School Board organizes volunteers to help plan and prepare the meal, and school families are asked to supply fancy desserts and/or volunteer to help work this event. The menu consists of all-you-can-eat spaghetti with secret recipe spaghetti sauce, bagel bites, baby carrots, pickles, orange drink and coffee as well as the fancy desserts. (The secret recipe for the spaghetti sauce comes from Sister Geraldine of Cardinal Muench seminary, and has received numerous compliments.) Tables and workers are decked out in Mardi Gras style decor, complete with masks, beads and confetti. We have had many compliments on the quality of the food, Mardi Gras atmosphere and the enthusiastic workers. Tickets are sold by St. John’s Academy families and are also available at the door.
