Philoptochos News
Kitchen Renovations. The Philoptochos will work together with the Parish Council to carry out much needed
improvements in the Parish House kitchen. Structural work will also be necessary. The Philoptochos and Parish
Council will split the cost of all the work, which will begin after our June Festival. Members of Philoptochos
and the Holy Trinity community will be updated with information as it becomes available.
The Philoptochos completed another successful Lambropsomo bake sale. A big THANK YOU to all who
helped during some intensive days of baking in late March.
The Philoptochos will continue to organize fellowship dinners and other special events. If you're not yet a
member, please give it some serious thought and attend a meeting or speak to one of the women in our parish.
Chances are the woman you speak to is a member, as Philoptochos women are always present and active in all
aspects of church life!
The next regular meeting is on Wednesday, May 5th, at 6:00 pm.
Donations List for 2010 Festival
It's not too early to start getting excited about our annual Festival!!
Planning for our annual Festival begins well before the doors open. We are
already planning food preparation for this year. The Festival is our only major
fund raising event. In recent years we've had phenomenal success, and year after
year we are breaking our own records. But we need the support of everyone to make
it a success. Without the Festival income, we would not be able to balance our
budget. Stewardship income is simply not sufficient! We look to every member to
supplement your Stewardship support with work for the Festival. No donation of time
or money is too little. There are many ways for everyone to help.
Please do your share to help your church. We need you. We are counting on you.
Money and Festival Book Donations
Each year we receive very generous cash donations to cover our costs of food, paper products, beverages and equipment rentals we use to hold the Festival. We are counting on everyone to participate. Festival representatives will be contacting you soon. Please be as generous as you can.
Festival Food Preparation and Baking Schedule
For the Festival to happen, we must have lots of food to sell. As you can
see below, we need large crews to do several of the dishes. For two decades,
this labor of love has been done by a dedicated group of Parishioners. But more
and more of these seniors are at an age when the long days are more than anyone
can ask of them. It is absolutely vital that our seniors get help from younger adults.
Our crews generally start 8:30 AM or 9:00 AM. Any time you can donate will be useful.
So even if you can only come for a while, plan to come and help. If you want the
Festival to continue, please make time available to help on some or all of these
dates. Call Eugenia Lebares (774-9662) or Luci Nanos at 774-0281 to volunteer.
