Room Reservations
At times this can be a busy place. We have a procedure for reserving space for regular meetings or special events that helps us avoid conflicts whenever possible and allows our limited staff to arrange tables, chairs and equipment as needed. To reserve a space in the Aquinas Center, you need to file a request form with Alice Lee two weeks in advance of your need. Alice makes sure the space is available and set-up can be done as you wish. We also check the overall parish calendar to avoid conflicts (Fr. Paul signs off on this). These forms are available in the Parish Office or in the drawer of the desk in the Aquinas Center or from Alice directly. To be fair to all parties, we have to adhere to this policy. A phone call to Alice can tell you if the room you want is free, but no reservations can be made until the completed form is filed. To reserve a space in the Parish House, contact Lisa. Thanks for your help in making life easier for everyone!  Fr Paul

Bulletin Rack
In the Center lobby, we've put up a rack for the bulletins of the previous three weeks. If you are at mass elsewhere you can get a copy of the bulletin you missed.

Inkjet Cartridges Wanted
Please help to raise money for Brain Tumor research by donating EMPTY inkjet, laser printer, and copier cartridges in the Big Pink Box in the Aquinas Center, next to the Religious Education table. It’s easy and free, and 100% of the amount raised will go to brain tumor research! For more details, call the Musella Foundation at (888)295-4740. or go to http://www.virtualtrials.com/inkjet.

Grounds Or Maintenance Issues
Parishioners often notice facilities or equipment in need of repair or replacement. Rather than entrust that information to the faulty memory (+ incompetence!) of the pastoral staff, we have created a simple form which can be filled out and left with Joanne. She'll direct the information to the appropriate responder. Forms are in the Chapel Foyer, or Center Lobby. Thank you for your care for our property.

Important Announcements!
Please note that any rooms that are to be used in the Parish Center are to be scheduled by the Parish Secretary (Lisa Wild) at ext. 201.

The key to the copier room (located in the Parish Center) is kept in the Parish Council mailbox for access when the office is closed.

All Parish committee mailboxes are now located in the Parish Center.

If you need a key to the Parish Center for the weekend please contact the Parish Secretary to pick up ahead of time. Any questions please contact Lisa Wild at ext. 201
