Spirit of Christmas Bazaar
October is fast approaching, and the bazaar babes are feeling encouraged! We had a good turn out for our September 11th bazaar meeting. A healthy discussion about all things bazaar went well.
We are pleased to announce that Cathy Preston and Bonnie LaPierre have volunteered to Co Chair the raffle for The Spirit of Christmas Bazaar. At this time we have 5 very beautiful creative items but we can always use more. Please let us know if you have a specialty handcrafted item that can be in our popular raffle. The sales for our raffle begins October 15th but tickets need to be printed by October 1.
Our popular Spirit of Christmas Bazaar needs your full support and if you feel the nudge, please join in the fellowship of becoming part of the team. It’s fun!
