BOTTLE AND CAN DRIVE
We
are asking friends of the project (especially children!) to help the orphans by redeeming deposit cans and bottles and bringing
the redemption slips or money to the Church Office in an envelope labeled “Malawi Orphan Project”. These funds will go directly to orphan support. Each nickel
buys a half pound of corn to feed a hungry child. We have the promise of a collection
box from the Ploch family for the future!
BEADED AIDS PINS
Many
people have admired the pins worn by Jack Sellati and Amy Webb-Mower on Sundays. You
can purchase your own hand-beaded Zulu AIDS pin at a price of $5.00 (The $3.00 profit will go toward future travel expenses).
BENEFIT AUCTION
We
are beginning plans for our next Benefit Auction for 2006 travel expenses. Would
you please consider crafting an item, donating a piece of original art or photography, contributing an hour or two of your services, or soliciting a donation from your place of business? More to follow.
Financial contributions
are being accepted on an ongoing basis for either orphan care, travel expenses or unrestricted use. Please note on your check which you prefer.
Checks should be made payable to:
First Congregational Church of Cheshire
Place in the memo line: Malawi Orphan Project
and mailed to
