ST. DAVID’S ANNOUNCEMENTS
A
Special Committee consisting of Julia MacKinnon, Margaret
Ashford and Yvonne Fox was established at the May 19th
Official Board meeting to come up with ideas to raise a significant
amount of money for the Building Fund. This is necessary to cover the
cost of material and supplies for the work completed since September
in the hall basement. Money will be required also to finish the
work. Donations to the Building Fund would be very much
appreciated in the meantime.

ST. MARK’S ANNOUNCEMENTS
FundScrip
is a gift card fundraising program that St. Mark’s is going to be
using. It’s a great way to raise money from the purchases we are
already making and it eliminates the need to ask you to increase your
donations. The program does not ask anyone to change what they buy,
where they buy it, or how much they spend.
How does it work?
Supporters of the church pay for their everyday expenses with gift
cards bought through FundScrip, and a percentage of the gift cards
purchased is donated to the church. FundScrip will begin in September
and two orders per month are planned. Order forms and envelopes will
be available beginning in August and detailed information about
ordering your gift cards will be available at that time. If you have
any questions please contact Patsy Brander by phone at 625-1062 or
e-mail cbrander@ns.sympatico.ca
or Bonnie Dawson by phone at 625-3838 or e-mail
b.dawson@ns.sympatico.ca.

church during the months of July, August or September, call Dave
