Upcoming Fundraisers – Spring, 2006
The SwaziCompanions
Fundraising Committee has three more fund raisers in the works to reach our
goal of $25,000. We need $15,000 to build St. Augustine’s School in Mpaka,
Swaziland and thanks to the generous support of the people of Christ Church
and the diocese of Iowa we have reached that goal. Our next goal is to raise
$10,000 for scholarships for the Iowans who need financial assistance to
meet expenses of traveling to Swaziland this July. If all of these funds are
not needed for travel, they will be used for teacher salaries, benches and
school supplies for St. Augustine’s.
“Children for Children’s Concert” May 25, 2006
Our children’s choirs are offering the gift of their beautiful voices to
SwaziCompanions. Enjoy an evening of wonderful music while you are
supporting the youth of both Christ Church and Mpaka, Swaziland. Ria Olson
has recorded a CD of the song she composed and performed at the Fall Talent
Show and these will be available for purchase.
“Have Your Cake & Eat It Too” Dessert Auction
A light lunch will be served after the 10:30 service. The menu: Mashed
potato bar with your choice of toppings (creamed chicken, broccoli in cheese
sauce, chili, butter, sour cream, chipped beef, etc.), salad, cookies and
assorted beverages.
During the “Have Your
Cake & Eat It Too” Dessert Auction you will be able to bid on mouth-watering
desserts that are ready to take home and enjoy immediately or for those with
self-control you may bid on a dessert certificate for the date you choose.
You can be sure the gourmands of Christ Church will offer delectable
goodies!
Imagine “reserving” a
delicious assortment of homemade Christmas cookies for Christmas ’06, a
cheesecake for a fall birthday or a fresh rhubarb pie for this June!
Plan to join the fun as a contributor, a bidder or both!
“Women’s Day of Rest”
Women (teens to adults) will be transported to a relaxing and beautiful
Indian retreat. Our own Minny Olson has offered her home as a respite from
the stresses of everyday life. We will enjoy the hot tub, delicious homemade
treats with tea, Indian music, movies, and henna. Don’t forget your swim
suit. Massages may be an option. |
