Getting ready...Raising Funds

An ecumenical team of 25 volunteers, spearheaded by St. George’s parishioners, plans to head to New Orleans during President’s week, February 17 – 23, 2008 for a Mission Trip  to aid that still-struggling city. This year, our team will be working on the "Rebuild" program through the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana

Is it possible that less than a month remains before we head to New Orleans by car, plane and train! 

We are all sending letters requesting funds to family and friends.  We are also planning two more fundraisers before we depart: 

• On February 3--A Superbowl Chili Dinner (Go, Patriots!), complete with a pint of chili, cornbread, and a brownie--all for $7.50 (4 meals for $25) Order your meal(s) by Friday, and arrange to pick them up on Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning--
  
• On February 5--The Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper and Untalent Show.  Enjoy yummy pancakes with all the trimmings and laugh a lot at the show following!  

Keep your eyes on the thermometer on the right.  We hope you will see the mercury rise!  The good news this week is that we learned that the Diocese of Maine will be contributing a significant amount to our effort through the Wolf Fund.   Do you want to add to our total?  A donation in any amount is appreciated.  Make your check out to St. George's Episcopal Church and add "NOLA trip" in the memo line.  Sent your tax deductible donation to the church : P.O.
