Do Your Fair Share - Be A Sponsor
Many expenses are incurred as we prepare for the Fair. Some of the necessary items that are purchased are prizes, supplies and replacements for Kidstreet, food and supplies for Snack Shack, Raw Bar and Novelty Row, advertising in the island new papers, flyers and posters placed around town and finally tables and equipment rentals. As a sponsor you can off set some of those expenses by underwriting some of our production costs.
Donation checks can be placed in the offering plate or mailed to the church office. Remember to label where you want your donation to go; Kidstreet, Festival on Fair or simply to the Fair.
Hodge Podge and Gift Chalet can still use your contributions so if you are cleaning out, down sizing or getting rid of clutter, think about bringing items that are suitable for resale to St. Paul’s. We are not accepting electrical appliances, clothing, large furniture or stuffed animals. All donations can be placed on the bench in the Parish House.
If you have questions, need help or a pick up, please call Christine at the Church Office (508-228-0916). Leave your name and number or email address if needed and you will be contacted.
Thanks for your help.
