STEAK DINNER

Helping customers, Rachelle Maxheimer helps out at the Country Store at the Steak Dinner on Sunday. Anything from baked goods to jewelry to painted signs were available for sale.

Heading the basket raffle booth, Sheryl Coady explains the contents of one of the baskets. Making its debut at the Steak Dinner, the basket raffle booth made over $1,600 at the Steak Dinner fundraiser.

Keeping busy in the kitchen, Anita Myers, Theresa Brockelsby, Alice Curtin, Pat Beck and Beth Vincent keep the food coming.

Another new feature at this year's Steak Dinner was the face painting booth. Youngsters Zettie and Rozella Colbrook show off their butterfly faces while William Colbrook poses as spiderman. The face painting booth decorated 30 faces for the day.

Along with the face painting, colored hairspray was also very popular. Morgan Holthaus turned Duke Hoy's hair blue for the afternoon.

The annual Steak Dinner took place on Sunday, August 1 this year and with the help of many parishioners and community support, it proved to be a success. RECORD PROFITS were recorded, thanks in large part to the basket raffle booth which took in $1,613.00, which was its first time at the Steak Dinner. The day was filled with delicious steak and hamburger dinners, as well as cake and ice cream for desert, shopping at the country store, children's games, face painting and even a dunk tank. Steak sales went up $400 from last year and hamburger sales rose $100. The cake and ice cream stand sold out before the end of the day and still profited $100 more than last year's. A few parishioners even went home a little richer at the end of the day. Dorothy Graham was the winner of the $500 raffle, Tammy Fortner won the $300 raffle and Adam DeClerk won the $150 prize. Marcia Sullivan was winner of the Quilt Raffle. Official Steak Dinner numbers are still not ready, but check the blog regularly and they will be posted as soon as they are in.
Holy Trinity would like to thank everyone who showed us support at the Steak Dinner and helped make it such a huge success! We hope to see you next year!
