ECW Makes Grants to Local Charities: A Note from ECW President, Jane Watson |
|
Dear Christ Church and The Golden Isles Community,
It with great excitement that your ECW announces a very generous gift of
over $60,000 to more than 25 local
and regional charities! These gifts come from combined proceeds of the 64th annual Tour of Homes this past March, as well as the year-long sales of the Christ Church cookbook.
What a joy it is to be able to grant such a large amount to so many deserving charities in our area that benefit women and children. This is a gift from our entire community because of the community-wide support of our two large projects each year. It takes more than 400 volunteers to to put on a huge project like the Tour of Homes and we send out a huge
THANK YOU
to the many community volunteers who help us with both projects each year. We want the community to know that this is their gift as well. Lives will be touched thanks to your time and efforts.
Congratulations, and well done...for the many hours of volunteering, planning and dedication...our community is the winner.
In His Service,
Jane Watson
ECW President

-
Raneisha Beard (girl) - CCGA Nursing Program
-

To those of you who have already brought in graduation cards and/or contributed for the Street Beat high school graduates,
THANK YOU!! Gift certificates for all were purchased at Walmart so they can get some of the things they need for college, the military, or technical school. And the parish's generosity enabled us to get gift certificates for all eight girls at Ulta Beauty, and a gift card from Dick's Sporting Goods for the young man, who plays Coastal Outreach Soccer. They appreciate your kindness more than you will ever know!
