THEME BASKET/CHINESE AUCTION

We are in need of baskets to be donated for this fundraising event. The approximate value should be $25.00. They will need to be dropped off at church no later than Friday, May 6th by noon. There is a sign-up sheet on the ECW bulletin board for anyone kind enough to make up a basket. We are also looking for gift certificates. If you have a favourite restaurant, store, or business that may be willing to donate a gift certificate or item, we have a Church letter to give to the business. Any amount is appreciated. Questions?? See Ann Cuyler (632-0423) or Carol Selin (741-2740).
We will also need workers on that Saturday. Again, if you can help (and have fun) for a few hours that day, there is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board.
