Share the Harvest Dinner POSTPONED until NOV. 17th

Dear Friends in Christ -

Every faithful Christian experiences a little setback now and then.
Every faithful parish experiences a little setback now and then.

Our "Share the Harvest" Fall Fundraising Dinner was postponed this week due to lack of subscription - in other words, not enough people signed up. Some folks didn't have enough lead time to get it on their schedules, some folks didn't have time to invite the friends they hoped to invite, and some folks said the tickets were just a bit pricey (clearly they've never tasted our Chef's cooking!). But seriously, all that feedback is being taken to heart.

The wonderful chef who is offering this dinner to us said that it's just as difficult to cook for 40 as it is for 240, so we opted to postpone - and regroup.

The truth of the matter is, the planning for this fundraiser came together at the end of the summer, and there just wasn't enough lead time to get our feet under us and get going.

So now we've made a few adjustments. A group of folks has formed a committee to organize, plan and publicize the November 17th event - and it will indeed be a wonderful evening.

If you purchased a ticket for this Saturday's dinner, please accept my apologies for any inconvenience. If you would like to hold on to your ticket and use it for the November 17th dinner, that would be great. If you would like a refund, we will gladly provide one.

Thank you for your understanding - and for your positive feedback for the overall event. This bird is in the process of gaining speed so that it can gain altitude . . . with God's help, it will fly yet!!

Blessings,
Janet+
