Boutique Sign-Up: As we approach November, the boutique draws closer and we need people to sign up for the many positions needed. The easiest way to do this is to scan the code here and open up the link. You can scroll down and see the many options to serve and then sign up for the time slot you are available. We need greeters, cashiers, drivers for shuttling vendors/volunteers, kitchen helpers and clean-up workers. If you are not available to help at the Boutique you can still help by baking goodies for the sale. Or by selling tickets for the quilt that will be raffled on December 8th. A pack of tickets will be placed in your mailbox shortly, consider purchasing these. Christmas and bling jewelry is needed to sell so look through your jewelry boxes. Please put it in the room behind Fellowship Hall in the box marked “Ellen” by October 27. Finally, The Gently Used and Regiftable shops at the Boutique will gladly take your unneeded autumn and Christmas decorations which may be left in the Library.
