Ti voglio bene UNICO Familia
While our favorite hometown football team fell short of their overall goal, it has been a truly great ride and we have all been very fortunate to witness greatness again this season. We have great coaching and a great core, so I am sure we will have more great seasons to come. And with our hometown baseball team kicking off spring training after a great 2024 season, it is once again a great time to be a Kansas City sports fan!
Valentines Day is just a few days away, so I also want to send warm wishes to everyone during this cold month, with hopes you get to spend some quality time with those that are most important to you.
Shrimp Dinner—Our annual All you can eat Shrimp dinner will be on March 7th at St. Andrews Parish. 5 Tickets have been mailed out to all UNICAN’s at their home address with our request you purchase/sell them for this event. In addition, requests for volunteer support will be coming soon, so any assistance you can offer would be very much appreciated.
