Food Drive for St. Vincent de Paul

"Fill the Bus"

Students from all grades at Our Lady Star of the Sea School brought in 775 pounds of food to be donated to St. Vincent de Paul. Their theme was to "fill the bus" with food and they accomplished that goal. 11 barrels full! There was barely enough room for some of the students to ride the bus to St. Vincent's to deliver the food. Denise Agee, the Assistance Office Coordinator, rode with the students and let them know how much their donation means to St. Vincent's and to those who will be helped by this very generous gift. Thank you students and teachers! St. Vincent de Paul Our Lady Star of the Sea Conference appreciates YOU!

PATTY MARZ

All of the great greeting cards that St. Vincent's Thrift Store has for sale have passed through Patty's hands. Donors contribute hundreds of unused cards each month and Patty is the one who looks at each one to see if there is any writing in them or damage to the card. If it looks like new, Patty prices the card and sends it to the store where customers can purchase some very nice cards at a fraction of their original retail cost.

Patty spent 42 years as a teacher, principal and superintendant with the Taholah School District. She retired in 2011 and shortly thereafter learned that St. Vincent's Thrift Store had a need for volunteers. Of the many volunteer positions that were available, Patty chose to work with the greeting cards. She had looked at other St. Vincent Stores in the area and found that we were the only one to offer affordable cards. Patty spends about 6 hours a week performing this valuable service for the Thrift Store and ultimately for those in our community.

Patty still keeps in touch with those in the Jr. High age group by teaching the SPARKS Group on Sundays at Our Lady Star of the Sea Parish. She is also the secretary for the Kitsap Schools Retirees Association and volunteers in the Parish office.

Thank you Patty for your dedicated service to those in need in our community through your volunteer work. We appreciate you very much.
