Thank You!

Thanks to Don Grant and Liz Gearon for inaugurating St. George's 1874 Society. As a result of their hard work, 44 faithful parish families have included St. George's in their estate planning. Their names are on the plaque located on the wall near the Memorial Garden door. It is never too late to become part of the 1874 Society! Please consider putting our beloved church in your will. Thanks to Bob Becker who has graciously offered to now lead our ministry of Planned Giving. |

Canterbury Fair
| |
 SAVE THE DATE!JUNE 11, 2016
9:30am - 2:30pm
(Rain or Shine)
The Canterbury Fair is only 6 weeks away!
BE A PART OF THE CANTERBURY FAIR TEAM
We hope you will save the date and help us out. The Canterbury Fair is an event for the entire parish, and it would be wonderful if everyone would donate some time to help. It takes a lot of parishioners to make the Canterbury Fair happen and to make it successful!
There are many ways that you can help. Here are the areas that can use all the help they can get:
STAGING
- This is the work that miraculously makes the Fair appear and then equally miraculously makes the Fair disappear. The entire church grounds gets set up on Thursday afternoon and evening. A major part of this is setting up the tents. Then on Friday, we will need all hands on deck to set up tables!! As soon as the Fair ends on Saturday, all the tents come down, the tables are stored again inside and all the treasures that did not sell need to be removed. A BIG job! They will need all able bodied persons to take down the Fair! Contact Gregg at 732-859-5365 or Nowell@sitarcompany.com if you can help.
SILENT AUCTION - During the week before the Fair, all those wonderful things that have been donated need to be wrapped up into Baskets. On the day of the Fair, they all need to be taken out and displayed in the tent. Then the Silent Auction needs to be staffed with volunteers. And, of course, many are needed to help connect Auction winners with their prizes when the Fair is over as well as to move the remaining baskets into the Library. Jill Gemmel (732-804-9044 or
WHITE ELEPHANT - Help is always needed at White Elephant! It starts with the Sunday drop-off on June 5th and goes all week. Help is needed to bring in donations that are delivered, then sorting, organizing and pricing them in Ralph Hall. On Friday everything is then set-up outside before the real fun begins on Saturday. That's when we need motivated help to sell all the treasures. Join us for hard work, fellowship & fun all week. Please contact Debbie Schmidt (732-687-9921) or Anne Marie Erwin (732-995-8833)!!
If you haven't signed up to be a part of the team, please call one of the Chair or Herb Geiss (732-996-5606) to find your
opportunity. If you have even an hour before, after or during
the Fair we can use you!!!
