Over the years the parish has hosted other big fund-raising events: fall fairs; dinner theater performances called "Murder Most Musical"; and auctions. Originally held in St. George's hall here at Grace, the auctions became so popular that we soon outgrew St. George's hall! We needed more space, handicapped accessibility, and more parking!!

About this time a committee approached Gary Briggs of Briggs Nursery in No. Attleboro, and he graciously offered his space in the greenhouse for the event providing we held the event "between chrysanthemum time and poinsettia time". And so the auction transformed to the GALA!

This is our major fund raiser for 2015! For the event to be a small but dedicated group has been hard at work planning for this event:  Debbie Bordne, Chair; Sheila Deffely, Louise Thomas, Carol Howard-Pasic, Alisa West, and Alison Standifer; and at our last meeting we welcomed Judy Hague.

In order for the gala to be successful, we must attract people from the outside community. We need each and every one of you to help. How?
* by helping us advertise by placing posters in local stores and restaurants.
* By donating items for the silent auction, live auction, or the raffle.
* by donating bottles of wine for the special wine grab-bag raffle.
* By attending, and inviting your family and friends to attend
* AND by VOLUNTEERING FOR FOOD PREP, OR SET-UP OR POST-GALA CLEAN-UP!
This is our only fund-raiser for this year. As always, your ticket includes the price of admission, 2 complimentary beverages (wine, beer, or soda) food, and fun.

A small but dedicated group has been hard at work planning for this year's event.  New members are always welcome.


We have set up an "Auction Central" location in the main hall, across from the parish office. There you will find item sheets which should be filled out for each item donated. This enables us to track and identify the items as they arrive.
