1. St John Lutheran School in Glendale for selling the MOST tickets to this past Saturday's game at Citi Field - 81.
2. Runners-up: Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Seaford (65); Ascension Lutheran Church, Deer Park (60);
Queens Lutheran School, Astoria (57) and Trinity Lutheran School, Hicksville (56)
3. The following Lutheran churches for supporting LSA even though they do not have schools of their own: All Saints Lutheran Church, Jamaica (11); Gustavus Adolphus Lutheran Church, Manhattan (44); St Luke's Lutheran Church, Manhattan (20); and Atonement Lutheran Church, Stony Point (2). We love you!
4. Our Saviour, Rego Park (42); St David's Christian PS, Massapequa Park (16); Good Shepherd Lutheran School, Plainview (39); Redeemer Lutheran Church, Queens Village (39); The Lutheran School of Flushing & Bayside (29); Long Island Lutheran Middle & High School, Brookville (14); St Mark's Lutheran School, Brooklyn (31); Leif Ericson Day School, Brooklyn (11); St Mark's Lutheran School, Yonkers (12); Grace Lutheran Church, Uniondale (24); Emanuel Lutheran School, Patchogue (20); Epiphany Lutheran School, Brooklyn (7); and The Chapel School/Village Lutheran Church, Bronxville (45) - for selling, coming, and supporting LSA!
5. The New York Mets for discounting our tickets this year. It's been several years since they've "chipped in" to assist our fundraising efforts. They gave us $3/ticket and we added a dollar to round up cost to $20 - LSA's profit was $4 per ticket sold.
6. Jim Dhyne for being LSA's liaison to the New York Mets sales department, and handling the ticket orders. When he and I chose the date back in January, we thought last year's count of 550 may have been thanks to the new stadium, and so hoped to fill only 300 seats. But you all proved us wrong! We more than doubled that count and ended up at 732 - the largest crowd in years! (Can we reach 1000 next year? J)
Great weather (okay, it was a little hot and humid), a fast-paced game, and a Mets win helped round out a perfect LSA event!
Please convey our sincere thanks to your school and church families!
Hope to see more of you next year!
Blessings,
Debbie
