MESSAGE FROM PICNIC CHAIRMAN TIM!
If you can’t work at the weekend for some reason or another, we can surely use a lot of help on Sunday night after the picnic has ended. Believe it or not but what goes up……must come down and we need all volunteers to be available for teardown on Sunday night starting immediately after the picnic ends at 7:00pm. Please consider helping when and wherever you can. Thank you in advance.
Our Music line up for this year is exciting and ready to put on a variety of music genres!
- Friday night we will have yacht rock music with “The Yacht Rockers Band” featuring Captain Joseph and the crew!
- Saturday afternoon we will have “Voices” featuring Dennis Gillam formerly GTO.
- Saturday night will be “Rea’s Creek Band” featuring Scott & Mechelle with all local band members from Granite City.
- Sunday afternoon and closing out our picnic will be “Sweetie and The Toothaches,” featuring Sweetie (Emilie) and her 7- or 8-piece swing band!
We will be having dinners on all 3 days again.
- Friday - BBQ Pork Steak featuring our impressive cooking ladies of our parish!
- Saturday - Cabbage Rolls (Pigs in the Blanket) featuring the family recipe from the Ruesing family!
- Sunday – AYCE Fried Chicken featuring our St. Elizabeth Famous recipe from famous Chef’s Jim and Lesa.
*Come out and plan to have one of your favorite meals or all three! Carry outs available. *
We also will have “free shuttle service” again this year for those of you needing assistance getting to and from your vehicles parked in our designated handicapped parking areas. Chauffers' fire up your smiles and Laughter.
Thank you for signing up as early as possible to relieve the worry of our chairpersons from not being able to successfully run their booths without adequate volunteers. Visit stelizabethgc.org/picnic to sign up!!
PLEASE BE PATIENT
We are in the process of reconfiguring the bulletin to better serve you and to be better stewards of the contributions we receive. We will be building up the information that can be found at stelizabethgc.org to house information no longer included here. If you have suggestions on advertisers we can reach out to who may wish to promote their business and support our bulletin, please reach out to the parish office. Any feedback on this new communication can be shared with our parish secretary as well.

If you are interested in helping or want to learn more, please join us at our next meeting on Tuesday, June 17th at 6:30 p.m. in the Harmony Room.
