BUDGET CONCERNS
One
of the goals of the Minn-Kota Festival Sale is to send 100% of the money
generated at the Sale to MCC. This
can only happen if we are able to raise 100% of the money needed for expenses
prior to the Sale. Even though many
of the needed items are donated by churches and individuals, the budget covers
the Arena and equipment rent, paper products, some food items, and publicity/
printing costs. In about
two months the Minn-Kota Festival Sale will be held.
We have received only a little over half of the $26,050.00 budget. Is
your church planning any special offerings or fundraisers to help defray the
costs of the Sale? If you can help, it would be very much appreciated.

PEACE CANDLE
A Peace candleholder crafted
and donated by Dr. Dwight Kauffman, Pandora, Ohio, will be sold at auction to
raise money for MCC Peace Projects. The
candleholder is called “All the Children of the World” and is made of 5
different woods from around the world representing the children of the world.
The base of the candleholder is 12 inches in diameter and is intended to
be used in churches as a reminder to pray for peace. Are there individuals, Sunday school classes, or churches
willing to purchase this peace candle? Dr.
Kauffman donates one candleholder per sale.
So far this year over $10,000 has been raised at 6 sales with 15 more
upcoming sales. Prior to the
auctioning of the candleholder, donations will be taken and then the
candleholder will be sold.

Donation forms (replacing the former quilt and woodwork auction forms), pie

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Start
planning on how you can donate your time at the Sale. Check the organizational chart to see what is available and
where you would like to help. We
especially can use young people of all ages, elementary through young adults.
This is a good place for mentor/mentees to sign up together and spend
some time helping to raise funds to help the needy.
