Community Director and Event Coordinator Tom Donnelly conducting the auction assisted by Family Director Jeffrey Silk.

A capacity crowd of 240 attended the 2015 Fall Fest.  Tickets were $15 each. This Council event had several goals including: providing a good fraternal social activity; raising funds for charities and causes; converting non-monetary CPID business donations to cash by a silent and a live auction; advertising the upcoming ham sales for families in need; and, raising money for the Assembly’s Flag program. 

The dinner was prepared and served by Wittman’s Grill, and its German cuisine consisted of: garden salad, Wiener schnitzel, sweet potatoes, red cabbage, popovers, and apple strudel. Community Director and Event Chair Tom Donnelly was the emcee, and Carolyn Bodensteiner provided musical entertainment with her singing and guitar playing.  

Wheeler Printing provided 300 tickets gratis, and Bill Hall Printing donated two posters.  Most decorations were provided by Ladies of the Sacred Heart (LOSH).  Fr. Elser, the Wolfers, and the Yerinas made contributions for the auction.

Ruth Wolfer and Mike Kerwin coordinated hall decorations with assistance from Ray and Gynnie Ambrozich,
