Thank you from the Rummage Sale Committee 

We would like to thank the many St. Mark's parishioners who graciously volunteered their time to make the Spring 2014 Rummage Sale such a huge success. We netted $10,200. A job well done! It was so heartwarming and gratifying to see the St. Mark's community come together for such an important and worthy cause. Whether you helped with setting up, donating, sorting, selling, baking or cleaning up, your efforts were greatly appreciated and you contributed very much to the success of the event. We are happy that we had another successful Rummage Sale, but most importantly we are gratified by the incredible fellowship shared with each other. We hope you all enjoyed participating in the Rummage Sale. Everyone should be very proud of the St. Mark's community for holding such a significant fund raiser. Congratulations to everyone for a job well done. See you September 19th and 20th, 2014
