Yes, it really is June and yes, we are already thinking about Christmas!  We had a very productive meeting at the beginning of this week regarding the annual Christmas bazaar and have begun to have an idea of the direction we would like to go.

 

Number One:  Let’s call it the Ascension Christmas Craft and Bake Sale.

 

Number Two:  We will hold the event a little earlier in the season - November 15th, from 9 to 1.

 

Number Three:  Of course there will be a bake sale (our most popular money maker)!  And there will be a Bottle Table again as well as a Raffle Table.  But what we would really like to concentrate on are unique handmade items - handmade Christmas decorations, unique knit/crocheted items, jewelry, things for pets, any other good ideas…Now you know why we have to begin thinking about this in June!

 

Number Four:  In addition to our Ascension tables, we are going to invite a handful of vendors to sell their products.  We will charge $35 for a small table (approx. 6 ft) and $50 for the larger table (approx. 8 ft).  

 

Number Five: We will make a concerted effort to advertise this event well so that more of the local community will come and support us.

 

So that is where we are at the moment.  Feel free to contact me with ideas and suggestions and I will pass them on to the relevant person.  Susan.van.tijn@gmail.com.
