St. Catherine’s Open House Fundraiser – 23rd October
Over the next couple of weeks you may well be approached by a variety of people to help with their section of our Open House Fundraiser – here are this week’s requests for help:
Helpers needed!
At our Fundraising Event on Saturday, 23rd October from 11 am to 4 pm we are looking for helpers to provide tea, coffee and soft drinks in front of the church. Even if you can only help for some of the time do please get in touch with Alison bazaar@stcatherines-stuttgart.de
Boutique Stall
You may well be putting away your summer clothes and looking through your winter wear and generally having a sort out. We are asking for good quality, second-hand women’s clothes for the Boutique stall. Please get in touch with Renate or Lauris boutique@stcatherines-stuttgart.de if you can help.
From Becka last week:
I’m collecting donations of jewellery and accessories for the Open House Fundraiser. Any jewellery and accessories suitable for second-hand sale, I will sanitise/clean/polish everything and can do some minor repairs if needed. Please give any donations to Becka Ward at Sunday morning services or email at beads_bags@stcatherines-stuttgart.de
and from Christopher the week before:
“Them that takes cakes,
Which the Parsee-man bakes
Makes dreadful mistakes.”*
But … Them that bakes cakes
For St Catharine’s bakes
Makes … no mistakes whatever, but is sure of doing Good Works!
Gudrun and I are co-ordinating the home produce stall at our mini-bazaar. Dundee cakes are about my mark, and Gudrun can turn her hand to anything, but we need lots of help!
Please, if you can make a cake, jar of jam or chutney (or several) to be sold from the stall: packaged to take home, let us know (email Christopher cakes@stcatherines-stuttgart.de ) if possible about a week beforehand.
If your thing is small scale cakes: scones, muffins, cup-cakes, biscuits – for immediate consumption – the refreshment team would love to have these on the outside refreshment stall. The more the better! Our aim is to have enough to bury the Bohnenviertel.
(and, of course, bring people to the bazaar to eat the cakes; compel them to come in.)
Please consider how best to package your offerings hygienically so that they and we can be kept safe!
