Good Morning St. Matthias Parishioners and Happy Wednesday!
We are just weeks away from our annual bazaar and while we are so excited and anxious, we are also worried. Our annual Bazaar is largely dependent on donations. The more donations we receive, the less we have to come out of pocket, which in turn means we/St. Matthias makes more money. To date, we have received very little in terms of donations, whether it be in the form of volunteers, money, items for the live and silent auctions, raffle ticket returns, sponsorships, etc. The Bazaar Committe has been hard at work and has made some big improvements to help make this year's bazaar bigger and better than last years, but these improvements certainly aren't free. All this to say, we need your help in order to make this year's Bazaar a success!
Below is a list of items desperately needed for this year's Bazaar. Stay tuned for more details in the coming days and weeks, with specifics pertaining to drop-off dates, times and locations for various items.
