Fundraising
Coupon Booklets
The Vestry is supporting a new easy and fun product
to sell as a fundraising campaign for St. John’s. We are selling fundraising
coupon books for $20.00 from a company called Simple Qpons. The books allow
individuals to save money with things like buy-one-get-one-free and 50% off
discounts at tons of our favorite local merchants. These books make for great
small gifts and stocking stuffers. There are two editions of the book: one for
Northwest Indiana and one for Southland Chicago. You can contact Vestry members
or the church office to either purchase books yourself OR to help in selling books for this
fundraiser.

Volunteers: Be on the Look-out!
Please check your email frequently leading up to our
Dec 8th trip to the Aurora facility. You will receive emails directly
from Feed My Starving Children regarding specific details of our volunteer
work. Pay close attention to what they suggest you wear and what they ask
you to leave at home. Also watch for emails from me about our departure
time and transport from St. John's. Thanks so much to all of you who have
volunteered for this worthwhile project (which should also be a very fun
time). Please contact Dee McManamy with any questions or updates.
