To the Editor:

On Saturday, May 20, Trinity Catholic celebrated our 7th Gala with A “Knight” in Las Vegas theme. The event was sold out and 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 almost $30,000 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, Massena Savings & Loan, Laneuville’s Beverage Center, Mark Bogdan CPA, Eagle Beverage Company, Anson Burke, Allstate Insurance Agent, and Fay Motors Inc.

Mrs. Tish Laneuville and Ms. Denise Laneuville were also chosen as this year’s honorees for their commitment to this event, and our school, for many years.

Thank you to our Gala Committee: Sarah Tsibulsky, Monica Boyea, Emily Currier, Lena Mather, and Joyce Giroux.
