Our goals this year were to raise money for our daughters’ athletic programs, honor our coaches and bring the St. Francis community together for a night of fun. From the overwhelming feedback, the crab feed earned three straight A’s. Your St. Francis Crab Feed team doubled the money raised last year to over $40,000 for athletics, (A). Coaches were honored with a coaches’ mixer, an award was given to Al LoGiudice for his 23 years of coaching and service to the school as a member of the softball coaching staff, and the debut of the coaches’ wish lists provided much needed sports items and pop-ups for each sport, (A). And the St. Francis community gathered for delicious pasta and over a ton of crab from Jerry Flynn’s amazing cooking crew. The record breaking sold out event of 707 attendees enjoyed all you can eat crab, dancing to Boogie Shooz and connecting with new and old friends, (A). Sponsors willingly stepped up to support our daughters; Wine Sponsors Jeff and Stacy Hansen of AH Wines for the table wine, Rod Moniz for the wine tasting and Rombauer for the wine by the bottle. The hand crafted beer was donated by the newest brewery in Sacramento, the American River Brewery. Local bakeries donated 18 delicious cakes for the silent dessert bid. Because of the over the top parents that donated sports tickets, baskets, sports items, condos, cabins and abalone dinners, the live and silent booster’s bidding broke all previous years’ totals. My personal thanks go out to my many committee chairs and the village of over 200 volunteers that made the 2012 Crab Feed our best yet. Our amazing parent volunteers helped with everything from setup to clean up, 36 Troubie servers kept the crab bowls full, 20 cooks made food preparing look easy and too many others to list. See everyone next year on February 2, 2013. We will sell out for the third year in a row. Get your tickets in early December! v
