Greetings from PRS Craft Stand Coordinators!
Please put the following announcement in your church bulletin ASAP. We would also appreciate if you would download the attached poster (or use the one pasted below) and tack a copy on your church bulletin board. It would also be helpful if you could distribute extra copies of the poster to your Sewing Circle and to known crafters in your congregation. Thank you.
Bulletin Announcement:
The Craft Stand coordinators want to remind crafters to begin creating for the 61st annual PA Relief Sale which will be held the first weekend of April, Friday and Saturday, March 31 & April 1, 2017, at the Farm Show Building in Harrisburg, PA. We are seeking crafters who work with fabric, wood, paper, yarn, thread, or jewelry to make and donate quality crafts. Yes, the sale is still six months away, but well-made crafts take lots of time! Please see the Craft Stand poster (on bulletin board) for additional details. Drop offs: anytime at Ephrata MCC Material Resources Center or bring to the Craft Stand during the sale. Feel free to call or email us with your questions or comments. Remember: all proceeds benefit MCC.
