Thank you to all of you who have already changed your url from Amazon.com to AmazonSmile.com and selected St. Edmund’s as your charitable organization. If you have yet to join, and would like specific instruction, please consult with Jennifer Sherry at mastros@mac.com
We certainly do need adults and older youth to serve on our Sound Board, an “off the grid” dimension of our liturgical events (funerals, weddings, special events, and Sundays) which our Operational Budget does not provide. The Office or the Rector would be delighted to learn of your initiative to attain the skills necessary for this shared community service.
Matthew Harrington, Olivia Harrigian, Carolyn Schankwiler and other versed Youth provide leadership, and adult Michael Harrigian has pitched his hat into the ring, but there are almost no weeks on which we don’t require Sound Board Support, and apart from a not-presently-forthcoming line item for this in our annual operating budget, we are entirely dependent on volunteers.
Faithfully,
