I am looking for a volunteer willing to go to the Wachusett Recycling Center approximately once a month to pick up 60 dozen egg cartons.  The Center is easily accessible off I-190 at 131 Raymond Huntington Highway in West Boylston.  Perhaps you go there already?  If you can help with this, e-mail me at djmann@charter.net  Thank you.

 

 

Paul and Diane Vigneau are offering a fundraising opportunity to our community.  They have purchased the materials to build a 8' X 12' deck and rather than pay a contractor to erect it, they would like to hire YOU!  If you have some building experience and are willing to offer your expertise and labor, they are looking for you to work for them a couple of upcoming Saturdays.  In return, they will make a donation of $400 to the church in your name or the name of your choosing for up to 4 qualified individuals resulting in a total donation of $1,600.  If you are interested, please contact Paul or Diane at (508) 459-2643 or by email at gosoxinrutland@msn.com

Come one, come all who have ideas about fundraising this year.  We will meet in the Sanctuary following to discuss events and strategies for raising money approved by the congregation at the Annual Meeting last June.  In addition to its annual fundraising goal of $15,000, the congregation voted to attempt to raise an additional $30,000 before this amount is to be taken from investments in support of this year's operational expenses.  We are looking for enthusiastic and energized people and ideas to help us raise these funds.  Join us for this important summit.  Childcare will be available.  If interested in childcare, please email Aaron Payson (arpayson@charter.net) by Wednesday, October 8.

 

The first meeting of our third season is the second Wednesday in October, October 8 in the church lounge.  Please note that this is a change from our previous schedule.

 

We will continue our practice of alternating fiction and non-fiction reads, and our October selection is The Art Forger: A Novel by B. A. Shapiro. Please see last week's Message for the complete book schedule for this year.

 

We look forward to meeting new readers this year-our discussions are always interesting and lively.  For more information, contact Deb Selkow debelkow@gmail.com
