SYG CAR WASH/BAKE SALE REPORT: This annual event raised $395.65 to help pay for our retreat on Sept. 30. Thank you everyone who bought the delicious baked goods and had their car washed by enthusiastic youth group members. It was a beautiful day for it and the SYG greatly appreciates the donation.
FRIENDSHIP DINNER COMING SOON! It has been a couple of years since the last Friendship Dinner! We are hoping you will join us on Oct. 29, at 6 p.m., in the Great Room. We will start with some wonderful hors d'oevres and punch, then go to one of several host homes for our main course, a special ham delight, and return about 8:30 p.m. to the Great Room for sumptuous desserts.
Now how does that sound? An adult evening out, price not to exceed $8.00 per person, a chance to meet new friends and renew older friendships; no dishes to wash, dry or put away, just come and enjoy.
We do need about eight (8) host homes with seating of 8 - 10 people, some donations for the hors d'oevres table and find your best recipe for a dessert that will wow us all. We will be calling for some hosts, but please sign up in the Great Room, on the kiosk Member Care, for whichever you would like to do, as well as, please, if you would like to attend.
A host/hostess only has to set their table for about ten, make some coffee and have tea or fruit juice available; dinner and wine will be provided and delivered to your home, including flowers!! Does that sound too difficult?
Doris Coster 928-4775, Ann Moran 928-1505, Dick Horsfield 774-5093 are all waiting for your phone calls and watching for your signatures for this great event. If you didn't check "helping with progressive (Friendship) dinner", please do so this week. We could use a few more in the kitchen.
Check your calendars, sign up on the sheets, and we will have a wonderful time!! See you there.
COMMUNITY KITCHEN is in need of the following items: Tomato sauce, tomato paste, canned diced tomatoes, green beans, fruit cocktail, and cash to buy the meat. Your generosity makes the Community Kitchen possible, and your donations are very much appreciated.

THIRD AND FINAL ROMEO’S OLD FASHIONED CHURCH SUPPER for 2005!
As you know, we needed to help balance the church’s budget for the year by having additional fund raisers. The men’s group, the Romeos, decided to have three church suppers during the year. The first 2 of these suppers were terrific! The meals were excellent, the support from our church members and friends and families were beyond our expectations and the fun and fellowship that resulted was exceptional!
In addition to making higher than expected profits because of donations from a number of church members, we were given a very special gift of support from Mary Roberts of $2000.00 for each of the past two suppers. As you can imagine, this has been a great help in making up our budget shortfall!
The third supper will take place on Saturday, October 8th at 6:00 p.m. at the church. This will be a spaghetti supper, served family style. Once again, our chefs will be Charlie Bottieri and Jim Nowak, chefs extraordinaire! Servers will be from our SYG.
Please plan to come on October 8th! We need your support and in return we promise a very good meal, good fellowship, and maybe even some special entertainment after supper.
Most of the men of the church have tickets for sale, and there are tickets at the church office. Adults are $8.00, and children under 12 are $5.00. Thank you from all the Romeos!
CHRISTMAS IS COMING, CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!!! November 19th from 10 - 2!!! December 25 is 90 days away, but in 54 days, CHRISTMAS ON THE HILL will be here!
There are many opportunities for you to donate items to the Fair. As you have read, the Silent Auction will take any items that might draw some bidding competition. Just this week, a doll house, an anchor & a boat sling have come into our possession. Call Barbara Wright (928-4068) if you have an item or want to ask her advise about your donation.
The Unique Boutique will take new items too small for the auction. Potpourri, a wallet, an alarm clock or a new stuffed animal would all be of interest to Diane Bradley, (923-6923) the Chair of Unique Boutique.
Are you tired of that costume jewelry or has your favorite necklace just gone out of style? Sherrill Cyr (963-2228)will gladly sell it at the Jewelry Table.
If your company would consider a donation of a Gift Certificate for services, such as dinner at a local restaurant, a few sessions at Doggie School or a gift basket, contact Gerd Lossius, (963-1063) Chair of the Penny Social.
Are you, your spouse or your children "crafty?" The General Store, managed by Jan Arcand (928-4563) or the newest booth, Fur & Feathers will accept your craft items. F & F, chaired by Bill Kimball (974-3164) naturally is for animal & pet items & the GS will take jams, pickles, honey & that afghan you are knitting each night while you watch T.V.
All of the above mentioned items or donations for the tables take preparation, time to create or time to locate in your home. So, please start now to see what you can donate/live without or can purchase to help make the Fair a huge success!
Speaking of the Fair, Kathy Packard, our Rada Cutlery Chairperson, is now taking orders, which will be available at the Fair. Please call her at 928-9397 if you would like to place an order.
And new this year, we will be selling dried fruit and nut mixes as a fund raiser, chaired by Bev and Earl Brazeal. Watch for more details, and an order form in the October SHARE as well as in the bulletins in October!
General questions about the Fair can be directed to Susan Waldron, 923-2887.
For Coffee Hour today and next Sunday, Kristen Bentley will be serving the coffees that are being offered for the Children’s Center Coffee Sale. Come try, and buy!
