The Shrimp Boil will be a little different this year. Because this year’s Shrimp Boil falls on Friday, 2/14/202, Valentine’s Day, the theme for this Shrimp Boil will be a Valentine’s Day theme. The food will be the same delicious shrimp, beans and coleslaw, but desserts and hall decorations will be geared toward Valentine’s Day. Tickets are available for purchase starting Sunday, 1/5/2020, before and after church, from the office and MAG members. The cost is the same as last year - $15 for adults and $8 for children 12 and under. As always, we need many volunteers in order to make this a memorable event. Volunteers are needed to bake cakes and cookies, and for help in the dining area, in the kitchen and especially for set-up and clean up after the event. This year, you will again have the opportunity to sign up online, via SignUp Genius. Look for emails from Saint Hilary’s Episcopal Church with a one click, direct link to SignUp Genius. For those not comfortable with computers, there will be sheets in Browning Hall where you may also signup to volunteer.
