Night Chairperson), Gina Douthat (Faculty Treat Chairperson), Maribeth

SPIRIT
ROOM NEWS.
I hope everyone received the flyer to purchase a great golf shirt for
Dad just in time for Father's Day. This shirt would also make a
terrific gift for grandfathers, uncles, golfers, and any other
important, stylish man in your life. This is a Nike brand dri fit, golf
shirt with a St. Antoninus logo created by Mike Sullivan, owner of
Bullseye Grafix. Also featured on the flyer is a beautiful collared,
v-neck knit shirt just for women, which comes in both black and white
with gold lettering similar to the school uniform sweatshirts. These
items are by special order with a deadline of May 2. Payment by cash or
check payable to "St. Antoninus PTO" must accompany all orders. Also in
today's white envelope, check out the "baseball sports pack," put
together by Sean Mason of Underground Sportswear and Jeff James, for
sale though the Spirit Shop. Deadline for orders on the baseball sports
pack is May 6. Payment by cash or check made payable to "Underground
Sports" must accompany your order. Samples of all items are in the
Spirit Shop. All orders for any of these items may be sent to school in
