10:30a and 12:30p: Deadline for Spring Fling donation form a week away
Deadline for donations forms for Spring Fling, the Auction Thing is a little more than a week away. You’re in one of three categories:
1–You’ve thought through and carried through on your donation to the auction and we thank you. Or, (2) you’re still thinking (may we suggest gently that the form is on the UU web site under “Care” and you can either email it in or mail it in or drop it at the church? Forms are also available at the auction table on Sunday morning. Just don’t forget us.) Or, (3) you’ve decided that you’re not going to participate in the donation phase this year. All of those are OK except the forgetting one. If you want to participate, we really want you to, but we also have a printer’s deadline to meet.
And, of course, there are other opportunities to help. We need scads of volunteers the weekend of the event, April 24. These folks will help with set-up, display, computers, and food/drink. They all require willing hands and happy faces. Come join us. We’d love to have you.
And we’re happy to provide child care if you let us know your specific needs.
March 28: Deadline for donation forms
