ST. TERESA'S CRAB CLAWS FOR A GOOD CAUSE
Emily Salaices son, Cole attends St. Teresa's school, so last Thursday morning first thing I heard was "You have the wrong date." O.K., I have been writing this column a long time and only once before have I made such a huge mistake. I checked my e-mail again and that's what it said. Then I gave Michelle a call at St. Teresa's and, yes, the e-mail was wrong. Here is the great news if you haven't purchased your ticket yet, you still have time. The Crab Feed is for sure, Friday, Feb. 25 and I will be happy to take a lot of razzing and serve you with a smile. See you there!
