Greek Festival 2019 Volunteer Kickoff Luncheon – TODAY
Please join us for the 2019 Greek Festival volunteer kickoff luncheon
after services this Sunday June 2nd.
We offer this free luncheon to thank everyone who volunteered last year and start signing up volunteers for this September! Due to the continued growth in attendance we need to sign up even more volunteers. We are asking for college groups or corporations to consider sending a team to work a couple of three hour shifts as part of their community service and to support all the wonderful organizations that benefit from the Festival.
If interested, please contact Stacey Armistead or Dori Riley at stacey.armistead@duke.edu or dori.riley@gmail.com for more details
Festival Program Advertisement & Sponsorship Opportunities
As you know, we are gearing up for our 38th Annual Greek Festival on September 6-8. Again this year, we will have a Festival Program for all guests. The Program has many advertising and sponsorship options and has been a great source of income for our festival.
This is a great opportunity to advertise your business as our festival has up to 20,000 attendees each year. You can also purchase space in our Program to honor a friend or family member, memorialize a departed loved one or just wish us a successful festival.
Do you know a business owner who may want their business featured in our Program that will be seen by over 20,000 festival attendees? Sponsorship forms are available at the candle stand and a table will be set up in the fellowship hall with information on our advertising and sponsorship opportunities.
The deadline for sponsorships and ads is July 15th so act now!

KITCHEN MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
The Kitchen Management Committee met to establish guidelines to ensure proper use and cleaning of our kitchen and equipment. Each organization/individual who uses the kitchen for ministry use, meetings, coffee hour, etc will be asked to designate a point of contact. This individual will receive detailed instructions for how each area of the kitchen should be cleaned. For your convenience a checklist will be provided and should be completed and returned to the office. All use of the kitchen should be scheduled through the office and included on the church calendar. If you are interested in joining our committee, please contact Mary Wehbie at maryellen.wehbie@gmail.com. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and clean kitchen!
NURSERY HAS LIVESTREAM
Parents of little ones, please keep in mind, when your little one is unhappy, our Nursery is available and has a big screen TV where you can continue to view the Liturgy until you’re ready to return.
PHILOPTOCHOS NEWS
Christos Anesti!
ALL HANDS ON DECK!!!! We are asking for our members to step up and “adopt a month”. Each month’s group will provide a day’s lunch {25 meals} for the ladies at the Women’s Shelter. This would require the group to prepare the meals for lunch the night before. You can fix bag lunches, purchase items for lunch (i.e. potato salad, rotisserie chicken, rolls, etc.), or pick up some pizzas for these women who have fallen on hard times. We have made a great start in our 1.5 million meals with the Rise Against Hunger event, but we need to continue our outreach in our community. Please contact Rhonda Milkovich at remilkovich@gmail.com to reserve your month.
