From Chair John Kennedy, Jr:
Dear friends,
Just a short time until May Fair 2025, May 9 &10! It’s not too soon to begin to think about how we can all make this year’s May Fair enjoyable and successful for both volunteers and visitors.
I would ask you to consider a few ways you can play a part:
• Volunteer your time. Requests will begin in March / April. Your involvement can run from as little as 3 hours to as much as you care to be with us!
• Start now to set aside items to donate to white elephant ( jewelry, artwork, collectibles, unique books, furniture, rugs, lighting, Christmas items, and more).
• Suggest a local business you would be willing to approach to see if they would enjoy becoming a fair sponsor.
Opportunities range from $800-$1,500.
After my first year as chair my biggest takeaway is that all those who volunteer develop a special bond – one that I believe helps knit our St. Mark’s community together so that we are more able to be there for each other and for others in need outside our parish throughout the year.
I hope you will feel the same after May Fair 2025.
Any early questions can be directed to me through the church office. Our entire committee wishes you and your families a healthy and blessed 2025!
Sincerely,
John Kennedy, May Fair Chair
