Evening's events – Our evening will begin with time to mingle, sample appetizers, purchase 50/50 Raffle tickets, and make your auction bids. Dinner will include salad, pasta with meatballs and sausage, dessert, and beverages. (Ohio's liquor laws prohibit BYOB at this event, but wine will be available for sale by the glass.)
Children's activities – This is a family friendly event for all ages, with balloon animals, face painting, and crafts. However, there is no nursery care available.
Silent Auction – Bryan and Susan Daly (306-8462) are gathering items for the auction now. Can you donate a service or a personal treasure? Can you solicit a donation from a business you patronize? Contact Bryan or Susan for additional information. Letters acknowledging donations for tax purposes are available.
Volunteers Needed – sign-up to help make this year's dinner a success at the sign-up poster in the Welcome Area at the church and choose how you want to be involved. Whether it's selling raffle tickets, making meatballs, setting tables, cooking spaghetti, or helping with clean-up, there's a job for everyone, and it's a great way to get to know people here. If you have questions or offers of help, contact Thelma Best (434-5486 or ) or Julie Powers (602-1335 or ).
All proceeds from the Dinner, the Auction, and the 50/50 Raffle will benefit the outreach of our parish and go to help those in need in the Dayton community, across the U.S., and around the world. So come and join us on January 31st, and while you're having a great time you will also be supporting the work of St. George's.
SPAGHETTI DINNER CENTERPIECES NEEDED The annual Spaghetti Dinner will be on January 31. This month, please include jars or cans of pasta sauce and boxes of pasta in your donations to the red wagons for the Episcopal Food Pantry. The pasta & sauce will be used as centerpieces on the tables at the Spaghetti Dinner and then sent to the food pantry. Your donations of pasta and sauce will fill two needs and bring double blessings! Questions? Thelma Best 434-5486. Ciao!
Pane e Vino -- Bread and Wine. At the Spaghetti Dinner, we will supply the bread, but we are asking you to donate the wine. If you are willing to donate a bottle (or bottles), please contact Thelma Best at 434-5486 or . Salud! New this year: St. George's has obtained an F-6 Temporary Liquor Permit from Ohio's Division of Liquor Control for the Spaghetti Dinner. This permit will allow us to sell wine by the glass at the Spaghetti Dinner, but not by the carafe or bottle. BYOB is not permitted, although you may bring a bottle if you donate it to St. George's for sale by the glass at the wine table. We may also include bottles of wine in the Silent Auction, but the bottles may not be opened and consumed at the Dinner. They must be taken home. Please help make this a success: donate a bottle of wine for the dinner and buy a glass or two at the dinner to enjoy with food and friends.
