Gearing up for December

Our next trip to Pearlington will most likely be December 26-January 2. A common refrain has been the need for more fundraising activities, one I'm sure will be repeated over and over again this year. Our costs most likely will go up a little on this next trip, due to airfare, so here are some opportunities to get the fundraising going!

• August 22nd we will host a Golf Tournament at Valley Gardens in SV. Cost is $55 per player and includes a BBQ afterwards. We need golfers and Tee sponsors so start recruiting people! Tee Sponsorship is $100 and each person or group will have a sign recognizing their contribution. We also will need help with the BBQ, so mark the date on your calendar.
• October 3rd we have been given the opportunity to help with an event at Dominican Hospital. Details aren't fully complete but we will need 6-8 people (we can rotate through) from 10am-4pm to help with cooking, serving, and more. Put the date on your calendar now!
• November 7th we're having a Jambalaya Fest at 6pm, complete with entertainment! More information will be coming in the next few months.
• An ongoing fundraiser will be selling decorative tiles. Each tile will have a poem, scripture or song decoupaged on them. Sandy T. is heading this up and is looking for help with the assembly of the tiles.
  

Over the years the whole team has benefited from the various fundraisers, but sometimes it just doesn't seem fair for a small few to do the work and the larger group to benefit from the work of a few. So this year we're trying out a new thing. Work the fundraiser, a portion of the proceeds will go directly towards your balance for the trip.

Put these dates on your calendar and let me know if you have questions!
