Bazaar - Volunteer Opportunities
St. James’s Bazaar 2008: How You Can Be Involved!
The Bake Sale
Dust off those time-tested recipes and donate your favorite baked goods. Contact Lynne Kinder (355-8540 or lynne.kinder@comcast.net) or Fran McDermott (484-6034 or fbmcder@aol.com) and let them know what you would like to contribute. As we advertise home baked goods, please no store bought items. Canned items are welcome as well.
Elegant Elephant Booth & Antiques
The Elegant Elephant booth needs your donations – think “elegant” or “treasured” antique items. Large furniture pieces are always welcome – and our creative co-chairs aren’t afraid to paint or refinish minor flaws. Items may be dropped off at church, or make arrangements with the co-chairs. Please call co-chairs Sarah Walker (358-9255 or vawalkers@hotmail.com); Louise Bowles (673-8825 or mlbowles@comcast.net); or Kelly Hayes (355-5502 or khayes109@comcast.net).
Greens: Kissing Balls & Advent Centerpieces
A new favorite – these sell out fast! Stop by the Greens Booth and “Pucker Up for St. James’s”. Choose from a fabulous array of whimsical kissing balls, created by some of our most creative parishioners. And don’t miss the beautiful advent wreath centerpieces sure to become a holiday keepsake. If you would like to help with the greens, please contact co-chairs Jennifer Sisk (285-4525 or JLSiskcomm@aol.com); Sara Cann (285-8802 or sara@bcanndo.com) or Ida Farinholt (288-0468 or farinholt@comcast.net).
