The "GO Team" needs help from the "Home Team." The eight missioners who are going to the DR as the Christ Church Mission Team have adopted a project to screen the open air dining hall at the Episcopal camp to help protect visitors from mosquito-borne diseases. The cost is $3,750. We hope to use some of the auction funds to help us pay for the supplies we need. We will also have options to sponsor a child in the local Episcopal school we helped build.

Tickets for the April 8, Dominican Republic Dinner and Auction are available from Jeani Synyard, Marilyn Miller, Julia Ariail and Kim Dudley in the church office at $25 each.The event will be catered by Covingtons and held at the Cotton Corner at 101 N. Ashley Street from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Because of space limitations, only 104 tickets will be sold. Buy your tickets early as no tickets are sold at the door.

The live auction will feature several weekend beach retreats, a barbecue dinner for 75, an antique caned rocking chair, a hand carved seven-piece nativity set, an antique doll house with furniture and many more interesting items. The silent auction has a juggling performance by our own Joel Williams at your party or event, 3 hand knit shawls and scarves, two silver and larimar crosses custom made in the DR, a handmade wooden bowl by Dr. Dave Richards, a Panamanian mola fabric, and a casserole, salad and dessert every month for a year, plus much more. An online catalog of the items will be available next Friday.
