Yummy fundraising opportunties!

With spring quickly approaching, the R & R committee is gearing up to begin their exterior projects. The committee would like to again encourage everyone to continue donating to the fund so that the church foundation and exterior window repair can be dealt with. In an effort to raise more money, the committee will be hosting the first of two planned fish fries this Friday, March 11 at Holy Trinity Hall. Dinner will be served from 5-7:30 p.m. Prices will be $8 for adults and $5 for ages 12 and under. There will also be a 50/50 drawing. If you cannot make it this Friday, plan to attend the second Fish Fry on April 15.

There is also another delicious way to help donate to the project if fish isn't your thing. For a one time donation of $100, you will recieve one dozen cookies each month for one year delivered to you through the "Cookies a la month" fundraiser. The cookies are homemade and will be delivered to you (the cookies cannot be shipped--deliveries will be made only to locations within 20 miles of Holy Trinity. For locations farther than 20 miles, the Hall will be your pick up point) on the last Saturday of each month, beginning May 28. If you are interested in this fundraiser, please contact Bev Henn at 454-2967. This fundraiser is limited to 20 recipients so act soon! Monthly cookies include mint dipped chewy chocolate, french cookies, peanut butter blossoms, lemon bars, and buffalo chips.

Here are a few key points that were highlighted during last month's committee meeting on February 9, 2011.

1. The bathroom is being remodeled to meet ADA standards. An oak utility cabinet and baby changing table will be installed in the remodeled bathroom. There are prospective donors to this project through purchase of the commode, vanity and faucet.

2. A 3x5 rug to be placed at the Altar of Sacrifice is to be purchased for approximately $150.

3. Quarter round trim is to be cut to size, painted and then placed on the baseboard on the Sanctuary floor.

4. The Stations of the Cross are still being completed through Travis Norville who will be contacted by Kevin Autenrieb to discuss color scheme for the Stations and the mural that will be painted above the side altar on the north wall.

The next meeting is planned for this Wednesday, March 9 right after Ash Wednesday services at Holy Trinity.
