Thank you! to all who helped make our participation in Elk Grove Village Hometown Parade a success, and a lot of fun! Special thanks to Paul Swanson, Jr., for spearheading the effort!

(editor’s note: the theme of the parade was “Sports and Recreation” so Paul signed us up to participate with a float under both “fishing” and “sailing.” As one of the recent Gospel readings was the story of Jesus telling the fishermen to cast their net from their boat, we thought this was pretty clever of him).
