St Paul’s Needlepoint Rug 2018
It is exciting this year to dedicate our beautiful rug to George Fowlkes with love and appreciation. George has been a dedicated stitcher of many rugs for years and has stitched several glorious pieces of needlepoint for St Paul’s .the lovely piano bench and also underwrote and stitched with others the needlepoint rug of the beautiful tiffany windows over the altar.
Our nine wonderful devoted stichers this year are Yvette St. Jean , Caroline Ellis , Jeanette Fowlkes , Sheila Daume , Nancy Bills , Bay McClure ,Mary Jo Beck ,Eugenie Voorhees and Penny Macintyre. I am truly grateful to all of them for their many hours of stitching !! The rug will be on Main St in June thru the summer.
This yearly fundraising project and its success is dependent on the generous underwriting from our parishioners . Please consider supporting us … please make notation that your donation is for the needlepoint project .
Thank you
Sheila Daume

SAVE THE DATE
We know it snowed this week, the boats were cancelled and the wind howled so what better time to start planning for St. Paul’s Fair.
The 2018 St. Paul’s Fair will be on THURSDAY, JULY 12, FROM 9:30AM TO 2:00PM.
We have been able to date the Fair back to 1903 making it one of the longest running Island traditions and an important part of St. Paul’s parish life.
Let’s keep this tradition going and make this the best Fair yet. It took a lot of people in 1903 to run the Fair and nothing has changed. WE NEED YOUR HELP! We have many key positions to fill now to get this Fair up and running.
Get in touch with Sharon Robinson (zeeeturtle@aol,com – 508 228-9434) to see what you can do.
