Bazaar Donation Drop-Off Date – Saturday, October 30th, 10:00am-1:00pm –Swing through the church’s north parking lot and Bazaar volunteers will unload your donated items for the November 13th Parish Bazaar. We are inviting contributions of
- gently used items for the classic treasures section (please consider if your donated goods would be marketable at a good price; think ‘slightly better than your average garage sale’)
- good quality Christmas decor (new or used)
- new or gently loved children’s toys, games, and books
- offers of talents, services, retail gift cards, new/nearly new products, all suitable for silent auction
FYI this is what Arleane and Jeff, your Bazaar Coordinators, will look like on the 30th as they welcome you into the drive-thru drop-off. (No, not really. Not unless someone donates matching Venetian masquerade costumes!)
