Please donate money to the 2016
Saturday, October 15 - Sunday, October 16
(rain or shine)
Dear Brothers and Sisters:

We are delighted to hold this year's Fall Bazaar on the weekend of October 15th and 16th.  As always, it will take place rain or shine! However, it cannot succeed without your help and direct contribution.  We need each one of you to be part of the event. This is your opportunity to contribute to the growth of our community and the building up of Christ's Church.   

Your donations greatly help offset the upfront costs of the Bazaar.  In doing so, we can increase the revenue of our parish's largest annual fundraiser. Based on last year's results, every $1.00 donated generates at least $3.00 of income for the Cathedral.

How Can You Donate Money?

By Check or Cash

Step 1 - Print and complete this Bazaar Donation form, and bring it with you to Church.  
Step 2 - Pick up a special "2016 Fall Bazaar Donation" envelope at the Candle Counter.  
Step 3 - Enclose the completed form and your donation by cash or check written to St. Nicholas Cathedral (write "Bazaar Donation" on Memo line of check); 
Step 4 - Leave your "2016 Fall Bazaar Donation" envelope at the Candle Counter or drop it off at the Church Office.  

Having your form on file will allow us to send an acknowledgment letter for tax purposes.  Please do not send cash donations by mail.

UPDATE: Rummage Sale!

We will be holding a rummage sale in conjunction with this year's Fall Bazaar on October 15th and 16th.  The collection of GENTLY USED, CLEAN ITEMS IN WORKING CONDITION starts on September 4th and continues through October 9th.  Each Sunday, you may drop off your donations in the Annex.  Please see the flyer for a list of items that are being collected.  No dirty or broken items of any kind will be accepted or sold. ALSO NO FURNITURE, NO LARGE APPLIANCES, NO PET SUPPLIES, NO ART & CRAFT SUPPLIES, NO HEALTH, BEAUTY & PERSONAL ITEMS, AND NO ADULT CLOTHING OR SHOES. Items may not be dropped off at the Annex during the week.  Please contact Irina Knyazev at [email protected] with questions about the rummage sale.
In-Kind Donation

Another way we have off-set the bazaar's high costs is by soliciting in-kind food donations from the parish and local groceries Just like your monetary donation, an in-kind donation of foodstuffs is tax-deductible. And remember, the Fall Bazaar is only possible through your charitable and kind giving. Click this link for a list of needed goods.  The document has been updated to indicate when the donated food items are to be brought to the kitchen!
