Dear parishioners of St. Nicholas, Immaculate Conception, & Holy Trinity,
 
First, thank you so very much for your ongoing support; because of your efforts and sacrifice the debt is down to $867,193. We have an additional $155,000 on reserve for future payments.
 
It is with enthusiasm that we, the LNMV CEC board, kick off what we are hoping will be our FINAL capital campaign to pay off the debt owed on our Catholic Education Center.  True to this enthusiasm, we have decided to start our fundraising efforts with a steak fry dinner.  Please join us on Saturday, May 7, at 6 p.m. in celebration of how far we’ve come as we prayerfully look to the goals that remain.  We hope to burn the mortgage, not the steaks. 
 
Join us for entertainment, drinks, fellowship, and to hear our plans to pay off our mortgage.
A generous donor has paid for the event expenses.  All proceeds from the event will go directly to the principle of our loan.  We are going to run this campaign without hiring a consultant which allows all donations to be applied to the mortgage.
 
Advance ticket prices are $10 per person and $25 at the door.  This covers the steak dinner, 2 drinks, and entertainment. Music donated by The Charlie Sticha Band.
 
Guests will be given the opportunity to make their pledges at this, the first opportunity of our campaign, or to prayerfully consider it over the coming weeks.  Those who offer pledges on May 7 ^th will not be contacted personally again in this campaign.
 
Come and join the party, for food, fellowship, entertainment, and help us with our plan to burn the mortgage.
