We Need YOUR Support! Spring Dinner, May 19

Please donate your time, your talents to support the event. Financial donations to help offset the cost of food for the dinners are appreciated and can be given to Peggy Tucker. We also need donations of baked goods, attic treasure items, plants, books and DVDs.

•  Baked Goods - Donations Please be sure to make a note of the ingredients that you use in your baking. People of all ages suffer from food allergies. We want to avoid any problems which may be caused by ingredients such as nuts, milk products, eggs or wheat.
•  Attic Treasures - Gather up all those unwanted, gently used items that you have been meaning to get rid of in the attic and the basement. Attic Treasures is the perfect place for these items to find new homes.
•  Plants - Please bring your newly divided house plants and perennials to the Parish Hall any time the week before the dinner. Please leave them outside by the North Portico.
•  Book Stall - Please consider donating your gently used books and DVDs. Just leave your donations in the designated box located in the Parish Library.

For more information, to volunteer to help, or to make a financial donation, please contact Lesa Eser at lesaeser@gmail.com, or Lillie Barrett at garylillie502@gmail.com .

2018 Reading Camp - We Need YOUR Help!

It is time to assemble our team for the 2017 year. Camp will be held July 30th - August 3rd at St. James' Parish. We need several kinds of volunteers. To run the instructional groups, we need teachers current or retired. We also need adults who were not teachers, and we need several teenagers.

There is no expense to the students who attend camp. However, the camp costs about $8,000, which is about $200 per student. We exist only on donations! You can donate to either the general camp fund or to a specific area of our budget (ask our coordinator for details). You can also donate $200 and sponsor a child for the camp. Checks should be written to St. James' Parish with "Reading Camp donation" on the memo line. For more information, please contact Reading Camp Coordinator Paula Davis at southcounty.md.readingcamp@gmail.com.
