Election Day Is Just Around the Corner:

Tuesday, November 4th

Trinity Cathedral is a designated polling place so many people who might not ordinarily visit us will be coming by to vote. This presents a great opportunity for us to demonstrate that "The Episcopal Church Welcomes You" is not simply a clever marketing phrase but an accurate description of the Trinity brand of hospitality. Let's show our visitors that we absolutely "walk the talk" by having a team of greeters providing cookies, coffee and lemonade at the polls. So break out your mixing bowls and aprons - or swing by the bakery! You may bring your cookie donations to church labeled "Election Day" any time prior to the election. There will be a table in the Great Hall where you can leave your donation on Sunday, November 2nd. You may also bring your donations on Election Day.

We also need Election Day hosts to greet the voters as they arrive and offer them refreshments.   

If you can either help on Election Day or provide some goodies, please sign up in the Great Hall on Sunday or contact Kathleen Montgomery at ladyiris49@gmail.com so we will know we're ready.

Friday, November 7, 6:30-8:30pm in the Great Hall

Mark your calendars! It's almost Board Game Night again! Everyone is invited to join in and have some fun! The games have been great fun and we are all looking forward to November 7th to have another go! We've played a lot of different games, but didn't get around to a whole stack of others. Pick what you enjoy playing and start a game; we don't all have to play the same one. We can make coffee or you can bring your own beverages. Folks have brought snacks for themselves and to share - it's up to you! We meet in the Great Hall from 6:30-8:30 (and may stay later, if there's a hot game in the works!). For more information, please contact Wendy Mustain via email: wmustain.trinitycathedral@gmail.com.

Veteran's Day Display

Display brought in my Harry Katzakian on for our 2012 Veteran's Day Display

Floyd School

New Principal, Mr. Eric  Chapman will be with us on Sunday, November 9 at 10:15 am  in the assembly area to talk about his plans for Floyd School. He would like help in the areas of field trips, building up the collection in the school library and volunteers to help children with their reading.

I hope you will  come hear about his plans for the school. He is excited to come speak to us and wants to meet the people of Trinity Cathedral. 

Clothes Closet 

Last Friday, October 24th, our Clothes Closet was open for families at Floyd School. There were 23 families that were given clothes which has just a about depleted the inventory, according to Josephine Hein one of the clothes closet managers. We are asking for your help in bringing in gently used children's clothes from infant to size 16 childrens. The winter months are coming and the children will need long sleeved shirts and long pants as well as jackets and sweat shirts.

Please bring your donations to the barrel on the stairs on the second floor.

The Back Snack program is in need of granola bars, Raman soup, fruit cups, macaroni and cheese boxes, oatmeal packets and cans of tuna.  You may also bring those items to the Floyd school barrels near the stairs. You may also write checks to Trinity Cathedral and label it for "Floyd School".

Thank you for your help.

Blessings,
Dale Reinhard and Canon Nancy Tennyson
