This Week's Announcements

Help Get Out the Vote!
Can you spare ten minutes to make a difference in our nation? This Sunday is the kick-off of our parish project to boost voter turnout in the upcoming federal elections. In ten minutes you can reach out to on again-off again voters via a simple postcard. Join us in the narthex at morning service and the youth spaghetti dinner. Everything you need to send important, non-partisan info is provided, including postcards, pens, voter addresses, and a brief “be sure to vote” message. Questions? Please contact Peggy Alexander, Gretta Estey, Margaret McHale.

The St. George's Youth Group Post-Trip Dinner is This Sunday!
You can still support the youth group by buying tickets to the report back dinner tonight at 5 pm to hear stories and experiences of their mission trip to Savannah, Georgia. Tickets are $15. Additionally, raffle tickets are on sale for $10 to win dinner for eight with Bishop Mariann at her home. The raffle winner will be drawn at the post-trip dinner. Thank you for your support!

The full Gaywood uniform policy is HERE.
Where to buy: Uniforms are available at many retailers, in store and/or online, including Target, The Children’s Place, Amazon, Kohl’s, JCPenney, Macy’s, Walmart, and Lands’ End. Some popular uniform brands are Cat & Jack (at Target), The Children’s Place (at The Children’s Place and on Amazon), and French Toast.
Drop off: Donations should be dropped off at St George's by Sunday, August 18 so we can deliver them to Gaywood before school starts on August 26; you can also contact Donna Haselton HERE to make other arrangements or if you have questions. Thank you for supporting the students and families of Gaywood!
