To the Editor:

On Saturday, April 27, Trinity Catholic celebrated our 8th Gala with a Past, Present, Future theme. We’re so grateful to the MANY hands that went into a successful evening. Thanks to the efforts by the people and businesses below, this event raised over $29,000 for our beloved school. This funding helps the school in many ways, notably, providing funding for families who cannot pay tuition, and for any unforeseen expenses.

We thank our sponsors: Diamond Sponsor Donaldson Funeral Home, Orvis St. Discount Wines and Liquor, Frenchie’s Chevrolet, Laneuville’s Beverage Center, Advanced Business Systems Inc., Mark Bogdan CPA, Eagle Beverage Company, Anson Burke, Allstate Insurance Agent, and Fay Motors Inc.

Additional gratitude goes to the following people…
to our Gala Committee: Sarah Tsibulsky, Tish Laneuville, Emily Currier, and Marianne Jadlos.
to the decorating committee, as well as all of the volunteers for transforming our dining using our Trinity Blue. 
to our entertainment for the evening, The Schine Players, for putting on a fun, hilarious, interactive murder mystery! Be sure to check their fundraising efforts to restore the Schine Theater in downtown Massena, massenaschinetheater.com.
to the raffles and auction committee for working to get the amazing prizes for the evening. And to the businesses who donated to our prizes! 
to Coach’s Corner for the amazing meal, as always, and to Main Street Perc for the delicious desserts! 
to the professional servers who volunteered to be with us for the night. Also, to the kitchen staff who helped the meal run smoothly.
to the student servers, all of whom are TCS alumni, who helped us that evening. 
to Arno Lippassaar for running our live auction. That is always SO fun!
to Andrey Oloan from DualTone Photography for capturing this wonderful evening with his beautiful photography.
to the faculty and staff for their patience as planned, and celebrated the past, present, and future of Trinity! 
to each volunteer who helped bring this event together, and to those who helped take it all down the next morning. 
and if we’ve forgotten you, please forgive us.

And finally, to the guests who came to enjoy the evening with us.

Finally, we recognized Allen Chilton as this year’s honoree for his extraordinary commitment to our Gala, having been the only Gala caterer we’ve had, and our school as a whole for many years.
