Preparations for the Sandwich Fair are now in high gear. We are eager for jam and jelly
makers, as well as bakers for backed good. Carol Tubman will be providing
information sheets on Sunday. Please see her if you can help with food
preparations. A signup sheet for staffing the booth at the Fair October 5 through
8 is posted on the Parish Hall bulletin board. We're also looking for a few
people who would be willing to make reminder calls. This is our most
significant parish fundraiser. We're counting on your participation.
A very productive week on the entrance to the Parish Hall has
yielded a useable entry beginning this Friday. Temporary
handrails have been placed to ensure that no one falls off the edges. Many
thanks to all who have helped make this happen and Duane for orchestrating the
process as well as his many hours of hands on labor. More pictures of the process are at the bottom
of the memo.

Yet to come on the parish hall entry project:
* Proper handrails. (The 2x4's installed yesterday are only temporary!)
* Some new asphalt at the bottom, for a smooth transition from concrete to parking lot
* A new door which opens the other way (outward, but with hinges on the left, handle on the right)
* The drainage pipes from the perimeter of the Memorial Garden will be extended (to the south) and buried.
* Re-grading; grass and flowers restored.
Saint Andrew’s to host Lakes Region Convocation meeting on
Tuesday, October 2, at 7 PM. This
is a wonderful opportunity to experience the wider church without having to
drive very far! The agenda for the meeting will be the resolutions before our
Diocesan Convention later this fall. Look for the resolutions to be posted on
the Parish bulletin board. Folks arrive for the meeting beginning at 6:30 for
an informal social time for which we are responsible for the food – savory or sweet finger food. If you’d
like to help with food, please contact Dale Appleton at 539-6737.
“Tuesday Group,” our Children’s Formation activity group is underway, meeting on two Tuesday late afternoons each month and one Sunday morning. This week we welcomed Tim, Ted, and Jim, along with their mom. We're meeting again on Tuesday, September 25th.
From the office at St. Andrew’s: Office Hours: Tuesday-Friday 9am-Noon
