Dominican Auction and Dinner
Thursday, May 3, 2018 beginning at 6:00 p.m.
Only 8 tickets are left for the Dominican Night Dinner and Auction! We have to turn in the number of attendees to our caterer on Monday morning, April 30, so no tickets can be sold after Sunday, April 29. To claim one or more of the remaining tickets, please see Julia Ariail after the 10 a.m. worship service on April 29 or call 229-559-7329. To see the list of items to be sold on both the live and silent auctions, click below:
The primary purpose of this event is to raise funds to support scholarships for the children in the Episcopal K-8 school in the village of El Pedregal, where our church has been working each summer since 2001. The cost of a single scholarship for a child for an academic year is $350, and specific donations for that purpose will be gratefully accepted at the May 3 event and afterwards until July 1, when we will send all of the funds raised to the Diocese of the Dominican Republic for use in this school during the 2018-19 school year.
The dinner begins at 6:00 p.m. on May 3 at the Cotton Corner, 101 N. Ashley Street, downtown Valdosta. Free childcare and dinner will be available at the Gabard Building beginning at 5:30. To reserve a childcare spot, please contact Millie Johnson
