St. Catherine of Siena Men's Club
In our 36th year of Service and Support

The school fair is a time when the Mom's and Dad's of students (and former students) really work together for the benefit of the kids.  The Mothers' Cooperative Club (The Co-op) does much of the planning and organizing of the fair, while the Men's Club provides most of the workforce that sets-up and takes-down the fair and operates several booths. Each teacher at the school sponsors a booth and the parents of her students operate the booth.

The Fair is held on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of a  late-middle October weekend when the weather is likely to be its finest.  This year, October 2001, was true to form.  The fair was loaded with games, prizes, food and music.  The rock-climbing wall was especially popular.  The Men's Club directly operated ed the Nickel Slide, The Miniature Golf, The Road Kill Food Booth, and the Beer Booth.

Setting-up and taking-down the fair takes a lot of intensive labor and is organized by the Men's Club.  Todd Roser took charge of organizing the labor force.  Emile Casadaban has been in charge of the stage for as long as I can remember.  Charlie Favret knew where to put the booths.  Steve Hebert gathered a bunch of guys up early and brought over a truckload of equipment from the storage locker, which made things better for everybody.  Jerry Bohnenstiehl ran the electrical wiring.  Mom's from the Co-op provided delicious food for the workers.
