Canterbury Fair:
June 14th
Dear Friends,
The date for the Canterbury Fair, is rapidly approaching. We are still in need of 4-5 volunteers to help with the Silent Auction. We need a couple of people to solicit new donations and a couple of people to follow up with our longtime donors to see if they are willing to donate once again.  Any parishioner who is able to donate a good or service to the Fair is invited to do so. In the past, people have donated tickets, lessons, boats, and even vacation homes! Anything large or small is appreciated.

As we know, the Canterbury Fair requires a lot of work from a lot of people. Without enough volunteers, we wonder if we should skip the Fair this year. If you are able to help with the Silent Auction, please contact Chairwoman, Christianna Harvey ASAP.  She can be reached at Ctharvey2@gmail.com or at (937) 367-3221. Thanks for considering it.
