FUNDRAISING
COKE AND PEPSI CAPS AND END FLAPS Please remember that we are saving the caps and fridge pack end flaps from all Coke and Pepsi products. We are able to turn these codes into merchandise for our October Fundraising event. Thanks for your support.
TRICKY TRAY LETTERS have been sent out. If you did not get one, please pick one up from the back of the church. Thanks go out to Katie Lacouture for helping assemble the letters!"
INNISBROOK FUNDRAISER St. James' will be holding an Innisbrook Fundraiser once again this year. We wish to build on the momentum we developed last year and further expand our customer base. These gift wraps, gift bags and ribbons, etc., are probably the finest on the market. One can really wrap those difficult packages and not find any tearing at the corner. Plus, the church is the party buying the paper so there is no sales tax involved (a quick 7% savings). Once the drive starts, pick up a booklet and review the many items for sale. Include your relatives, friends and co-workers in your sales. The church gets 50% of all sales, which can add up to a tidy sum.
