We are fast approaching the March 31 finish line and our target for the Raise Our Staff ’17 campaign. Please join us next Sunday, March 26, after the 10:30 a.m. service, for a Celebration Potluck! Your Campaign Committee is providing the barbecue, fried chicken, lemonade and iced tea. You provide the good cheer, an appetite and sides to share (including desserts, please).As you know, our goal is to raise $125,000 by March 31 to fund four staff positions through 2018. We are pleased to report that we have collected $79,000 in payments and pledges so far. Thanks so much to all whose generosity has helped us reach this incredible number.
Our gap has now narrowed to $46,000. And here is some exciting news! An anonymous donor has offered a matching contribution! If we contribute $23,000, this donor will match it with a with another $23,000, which will bridge the gap and allow us to meet our goal.
Now is the time to commit to Raise Our Staff. Please join this parish-wide effort with your payment or pledge by next Sunday. Pledges are payable by the end of the year.
Please give as generously as you can. We are all in this together and 100% participation would be another fantastic achievement.
Gratefully,
The Raise Our Staff Committee
