alc fall festival benefit
All Hands on Deck!
ALC's Fall Festival Benefit has been a tradition now for 30 years! It is one of our congregation's most visible outreach events in the community, and one that provides much needed funding for local charitable organizations as all net proceeds are disbursed to local charities. Vendors pay for booth space to sell their wares. In addition to the raffle booth, ALC also hosts a bake booth with homemade baked goods, concessions, a book nook, and a children’s area. There’s a not-for-profit section where organizations get a free booth (sponsored by ALC members) to promote their work and get volunteers (we even had a few dogs adopted!). We showcase our local ALC talent by providing entertainment by the dining patio.
This is an 'all hands on deck' event as many volunteers are needed to stage a successful Festival. The Festival is always held on the second Saturday in October, which this year is October 11th. Sign-up sheets for volunteers will be posted several weeks in advance and we need everyone's participation. This is an opportunity to serve God as a church family, reflecting Christ in our lives to the community in which we live.
If you have ideas for the Festival or would like to be part of the planning team, please contact Joy Berthold at 281-812-1280 or via e-mail at mencrv@aol.com.
