A general note on our fundraisers.
One of the biggest tasks each year is asking the same people who helped
last year to help this year. It's as if nobody will help without a specific
invitation. I know that's how Patti and I got involved in 1986. You know
you are going to help, we know too. So why not put your hand up early and
we can reroute the intense effort signing up workers into something that
actually brings in some money for St. Pat's.

The Carnival
General Manager:Jim & Bonnie Alley, 232 4003
The annual carnival is the largest fundraiser of the year for St. Patrick's
Parish. Included in the carnival is the annual raffle. Many volunteers
are needed to help with the organization, planning and operation of this
event. On a typical evening almost 75 volunteers are needed to fully staff
the event.
The carnival draws thousands of people each spring and is the largest
non-profit such event in Westchester. The carnival has been an event in
Bedford for 30 years!
