The Service Faire Is Coming!!! Save the Date: November 22, 2014
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Attention everyone! The Packanack Clubhouse has been booked for Saturday, November 22, 2014, for our next Service Faire. What is a Service Faire? It's a fundraiser for our church in which we auction off goods and services for the community. We would like as many people as possible to participate in the event. There are many ways in which you can contribute. You can help run the event by volunteering to be an auctioneer, a runner, a money handler, bringing baked goods, and many more jobs to fill. You can also donate a good or service to the auction. Maybe you can offer a trip to the airport, or to do some yard work for someone, or the use of a summer home that you could lend for the week. Maybe you have tickets to a sporting event or play that you could donate. These are just some of the ways in which you can donate your time and/or treasure to help us raise money for our church. Please give prayerful consideration to how you can participate in this event. To volunteer and/or donate, contact Lauri Masur at [email protected] or Barb Bogert at [email protected]. Thank you for helping us make this event a success!
