What Team is the Current Two-Time Reigning Champion of the WNBA?

If you answered or attempted to answer this question you must have been at St. Ann Trivia Night. The event was a sellout! Trinity Hall was packed. When we host the next trivia contest it will more than likely have to be in the school gym to accommodate all the folks wanting to participate.

We are thrilled so many people came out to enjoy a beautiful Saturday evening at St. Ann. It was truly a wonderful parish event. Lots of folks stepped up to make this night happen. I especially want to thank those who sponsored this event and made sure we had plenty of prizes to give to the winners of all the games we played, and there were many games and a multitude of winners.

I want to start off by thanking those who support just about every event we host. Thank you to Ryan Trimm of Sunrise Memphis, Diane Kauker of Folk's Folly, Claire Arrison (St. Ann parent) of Belltower Coffeehouse, Andy Ticer (St. Ann alum) of Hog and Hominy, and Michael Garibaldi of Garibaldi's Pizza for having supported this and many of our events by providing gift certificates for the event.

This year we had six new sponsors beginning with Janilee Mann (St. Ann parent) of Champalou Spa and Chuck Schaffler of Mortimer's Restaurant. Analy Badillo, the school receptionist and St. Ann parent, contacted several of her friends and was able to secure support from AlySweets Hispanic Homemade Sweets, Los Cabos Mexican Bar & Grill, Koco Loco Memphis Ice Cream, and Frida's Restaurante Mexicano.

Thank you once again to all our sponsors of trivia night. Special thanks to Ms. Badillo for going the extra mile in asking for support. Asking for support is not an easy thing to do.

Thank you also to the Knights of Columbus, Scouts, Youth Group, Jason Dyer (emcee), LaDonna Metaxas & Annmarie Ghio (scorers), Scott & Candace Campbell (registration), and all the folks who helped set up and clean up especially Kevin Temple. Libbyclaire Douglas (St. Ann alum) & Annmarie Ghio spent many hours putting together the trivia questions. Thank you ladies! 

It is fun getting together as a parish. So let's do it more often! Next up is St. Ann Bingo Night! Registration is open. Sign up by clicking on the Bingo picture on the left. Let's pack the house!

The answer to the title question is the Las Vegas Aces.

God bless you,

What Was The First Capital of Egypt?

My Trivia Team

What was the first capital of Egypt?  That's one question you might be answering if you attend the St. Ann Trivia Night on Saturday, June 22nd. I love attending trivia night at all the different Catholic parishes throughout our diocese. It is a great way of keeping me humble by reminding me of how much I don't know especially in the pop culture category. What was Taylor Swift's first single? Answer: "Tim McGraw" The only reason I know that answer is that I just Googled Taylor Swift trivia questions and answers.

More importantly, trivia night is a great time for being in the company of great friends. For me, trivia night takes on a new meaning since one of my trivia partners, Mike Callahan, is now in heaven and not sharing crazy answers with our team.

My goal at trivia night besides having a great time, laughing (which has many health benefits), and breaking bread with friends is to not finish in the bottom half of the team standings. My team will never win, but we will have fun, and have yet to finish in last place, which will happen one day. Don't have Mike giving our team more than his fair share of correct answers.

If you are looking for an opportunity to have a good time with friends, family, and even some people you have never met before, join us for the St. Ann Trivia Night. You can sign up as a team of eight, as couples, or as an individual. It doesn't matter because if you don't have a full team, we will find you a team to be with for the evening. At $20 per person, it is definitely worth it and you will have a good time laughing at yourself and coming to the realization that you are actually smarter than you think. Maybe not as smart as a 5th grader.

The Knights of Columbus will be providing the adult beverages. The Scouts will provide the sodas and water. The Youth Group will provide the desserts. The Church and School are setting up everything else. This is a true parish event. So come on out and support the parish. To register for the event, click HERE or on the Trivia Night picture to the left. Contact the Church office (901-373-6011) or School office (901-386-3328) if you have any questions. 

What is Taylor Swift's favorite number? Don't worry about it because pop culture will not be a category.

God bless you,
