St Pat’s Class of 1971 Fellowship

Fellowship Events

SOCIAL EVENTS

Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that on Thursday, December 4th, we will be hosting our annual family Christmas Party at Bella Napoli Italian Restaurant, located at 1540 N Roselle Rd, Schaumburg. 🎅🌲The cost of $50 per person will be the same as last year. We will enjoy the privacy of their elegantly decorated banquet hall, accompanied by an outstanding entrée. It is this writer's opinion that it is a step up from prior locations. I’ll be texting the entrée in a separate email soon. All checks can be made payable to me and sent to my address, 15 Easting’s Way, South Barrington, IL. 60010.
Hopefully, we will have staff members from St Pat’s attending, as I will keep you informed.
Any special menus or concerns should be directed toward me.
Each table will have a bottle of wine. All other drinks are on a cash basis.
Until then, Bonappetit🥂🍹🍸🍷🍻

Several Fellowship members met for lunch at Pancake cafe on October 20th
