Mardi Gras Fundraiser - 2020, Come Join the Fun!
The Good Shepherd Parish Community is pleased to announce the 31st annual Mardi Gras Fundraiser on Saturday, February 15, 2020. Over the years, support from the church and community has increased, making this one of the premier social events in our community.
Held at Monterey Station in Cowan, the evening starts at 6 p.m. with appetizers and a cash bar. As you wander the Silent Auction room, bidding on items donated by local and regional businesses, you can enjoy reminiscing with old friends and make some new ones! At 6:30 p.m. you can enjoy a gourmet buffet featuring authentic traditional and non-traditional Cajun cuisine, appetizers and decadent desserts. The Respectables Band and DJ, who were awarded “Best Live Band in the United States” in 2013 by Wedding Industry experts, will keep the music flowing from 7 p.m. until the last dance at 11 p.m.
Proceeds from the Mardi Gras Fundraiser benefit:- Good Samaritan Ministries of Franklin County, an ecumenical ministry of nearly three dozen area churches, as well as civic organizations, charitable foundations and individual benefactors, provides emergency food, clothing, utility, and other assistance to our neighbors in need.
- The Linda Bauman Memorial Scholarship, created in memory of Linda Bauman, a member of Good Shepherd parish and Mardi Gras volunteer, who tragically lost her life in a plane crash in 2015. Her dedication to helping children discover their unique gifts and to serving others lives on through the scholarship fund that provides money to graduating high school seniors who reside in Franklin County and are pursuing a career in the medical field. To date there are 11 recipients.
- Good Shepherd Parish and Ministries, continuing our 108 year history of service to others. Proceeds from the Mardi Gras event help fund the many programs in the parish and local community, and other needs of the church.
