Don't pump gas on May 15th

In April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices.
Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.

On May 15th 2007, all myspace and facebook members are asked to not go to a gas station in protest of
high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places.

There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the myspace network, and the
average car takes about 20 to 30 dollars to fill up.

If all myspace members did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take
$2,200,000,000.00 (that's BILLION) out of the oil companys pockets for just one day,
so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and lets try to put a dent in the
Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.

If you agree (which I cant see why you wouldnt) repost this bulletin repost it with

IRELAND

Hey all,
I love these airport internet access points! We have safely arrived at the Dublin airport after an amazing week. It looks like I will be home in the early evening and should have time to post more then. I have so many great stories and pictures to share!

Passport Hell

So I'm supposed to go to Ireland on Saturday for a band trip with school. Well last week I still hadn't recieved my passport, so we called to make sure everything was ok. The person we talked to said there was no problem and we would have it no later than Tuesday morning. Well we called night and were on hold for about four hours. We called back this morning, and they said that there was a problem. Due to having my name changed about four years ago they had an issue processing it. So I left school at 8:30 this morning. We've been on hold all morning. My band director has used his connections and Sheldon Whitehouse is trying to get me an appointment in Boston. We couldn't get an appointment today in Boston so now we are trying for Connecticut. I don't know if I will be able to get a passport in time for Ireland. I have until 1:45 on Saturday afternoon to get a passport. (That is the time I have to be at Mount to leave for JFK airport.) If any one has any connections with anyone would could help me with getting a passport please email me ASAP at BigDee6541@aol.com or at dtavolaro@mac.com. Thanks and keep me in your prayers.

Priest In Charge

It was announced today. We have a priest in charge! Unfortunately I cannot release his name at this time, because his current parish has not yet been informed. However, I know who it is and I am very excited! Things are finally starting to look up! I'm excited to see our new priest in charge come, but extremely sad to see Mike go.

In Observance of the Feast Day of Hope Springs Eternal

AKA

OPENING DAY!

For the gift of new beginnings, clean slates and new seasons;
We give you thanks, O Lord.

For the hope that springs eternal with every new at bat;
We give you thanks, O Lord.

For fresh mown grass, seventh inning stretches, hot dogs, peanuts and crackerjacks;
We give you thanks, O Lord.

For the inspiration to work collaboratively, strive for excellence and build relationships in pursuit of common goals;
We give you thanks, O Lord.

For perspective in defeat and for graciousness in victory;
We pray to you, O Lord.

Holy God, you have given us grace at this time with one accord to offer our common thanks for the gift of baseball. Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions for this new season ahead as maybe best for us; granting us in the regular season success on the field and in the playoffs to come a shot at the World Series. Amen.
