10,000 Villages Craft Sale

The 10,000 Villages Craft Fair was a whopping success this year, surpassing other years judging by the large attendance. Such beautiful new crafts keep appearing every year. It is difficult to resist buying!

Lana in her report at the service this Sunday stated that before taxes $11,819.35 was realized at Saturday's sale. This is greater than last year's total of $11,200. The profit from $3,500 would keep a family of four for one year. The profit that St. Mark's garnered for the crafts people was sufficient to keep 3.4 families of four for one year!

Thanks to all who worked at the sale, unpacked, set up, those who worked on checkouts, those who prepared food for the volunteers, those who packed up the remaining crafts at the end of the sale and those enlightened, discerning shoppers who chose to support this admirable cause.

A special thanks to Jean Wilson, who opened her home to the people from the Mennonite Central Committee. Ten Thousand Villages is a nonprofit program of Mennonite Central Committee, the relief and development agency of Mennonite and Brethren in Christ churches in North America.
