STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL – NEWS FOR CHURCH MEMBERS

e="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">George Bernard Shaw said “…my life belongs to the community, and as long as 
I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.”

We consider YOU a part of this church community, whether as a member or a 
friend, and we can use your help. Please consider serving on one (or more) of 
the activities listed below. Add your name to the sign- up sheets in Fellowship Hall.

Grandma’s Attic – Tag Sale lovers, this is for you.
Dining Room – Youth….We need youth to be our wait staff. 
Cashiers for the Dining Room – Meet and greet the people.
Kitchen – Where it all happens (plus you get to eat the not-so perfect biscuits). 
Berry Choppers on Festival morning - Can’t start the Festival till all the hulled berries 
are chopped.
Plants – Garden enthusiasts, this is where you want to be.
Children’s Activities – Fun area to work. A few games and/or crafts for little ones.
Silent Auction – Outside under a tent. Help price and set up the auction items.
Bake Table – Work at the table (in the dining room). Also need bakers!
Burger Booth – Our Men’s Group oversees this activity. See Fred Swan to assist.
Hulling Strawberries on Friday evening – Fun family activity. Stay an hour or stay till 
we hold up the last strawberry.

“Never done it before” – Don’t worry, we have “pros” who will help you all along the way.

“Too new” – Nonsense, you won’t be left on your own.

“Don’t know what to do” – We have experienced people who are more than willing to 
give you guidance and support.

SPRING CLEANING

Are you looking for a home for decent stuff that is too good to be thrown away?!

Look no further than Grandma’s Attic!

As you clean out your garage, basement, attic, and closets this spring, and find items that 
you no longer need, please consider donating them to Grandma’s Attic. We are now 
collecting items for our sale during the Strawberry Festival on June 15th. We are especially 
looking for furniture, such as small wooden tables and chairs, along with tools, books, 
jewelry, and other household items. (Please, no computers or clothing, and only working 
appliances). Clean, recyclable items are welcomed!

DEADLINE for donations is Saturday, June 8

it yourself, or search for antiques or collectibles too valuable for Grandma’s Attic that you want 
to donate. Some suggestions:
