The church will be taking donations to the food pantry (make sure to check expiration dates!). Please come and display anything that interests you, if you would like a table to display please let me know so I can reserve a table for you (we have plenty so please bring a display). Tickets are $23 per ticket. We are selling tickets differently this year. We are going to be selling tickets with payment up front rather than taking reservations and paying at the door. Cheyanne Grant is already selling tickets for the banquet. Please stop by at a meeting or send your banquet ticket money to Cheyanne Grant at 358 Clinton St. If you are unable to come to a meeting to pick up the tickets we can hold them at the door as long as we receive payment prior to the banquet.
