On Saturday, July 18, 2009, from 10 AM to 1 PM, members of Sacred Heart Youth Group washed cars in the HyVee parking lot to raise money to attend the National Catholic Youth Conference. The conference will be a three-day experience of prayer, service, catechesis, and recreational activities. It takes place on November 19- 21, 2009, in Kansas City, Missouri.
The grey and cloudy sky did not dampen the enthusiasm for the fundraiser. Kristi Schultz, Marty Lahart and Charlotte Hunkele, joined the Youth Group member to help greet customers, and lend a hand in the activity. HyVee was very generous in allowing the group to use their water and parking area. They gave the youth a special spigot that allowed them to use two hoses at one time. Parents helped by supplying buckets, rags, hoses, and car soap. Quite a few dads stopped by to supervise and guide the activity.

Every now and again, the hose sprayed some of the workers and that made the job fun, especially for the one with the hose. The biggest challenge for everyone was not to knock into and dump the buckets of soapy water while trying to rinse the vehicles. Other than that, the operation went smoothly.
Many of the employees of the store had their cars washed. People from Sacred Heart Parish, also drove up and donated to the cause. In addition, the public would stop by and park their cars for a wash while they went inside to shop. The free will offerings were very generous.
The Youth Group would like to thank all those who generously supported their efforts to raise money to attend the National Catholic Youth Conference, this November. Thank you to the dad’s of Sacred Heart Youth for timely advice on car washing, and especially to HyVee and Kristi Schultz for helping to make it happen.
