177^th Annual Let It Snow Fair

Please begin to think about the Fair and how you can be involved.

Fair Coordinator or co-coordinators needed

Many, many Volunteers needed

There are numerous ways and options (with varying time commitments} to contribute to the success of the Fair

All Ideas are Welcome

Look for the First Fair Meeting – to be scheduled in September

Proceeds from the fair support the Annual Budget of the Church.

Goodwill from the Fair supports the Community.

Al-Anon is an organization that offers experience, strength and hope to families who are

struggling with alcoholism and addiction. It is a very safe place to share the challenges of

difficult family situations. We at Al-Anon are very grateful to the First Church of Swampscott which has offered us space to hold our meetings, as below:

Tuesday nights at 7:30

Tuesday mornings at 10:00 a.m. in the library

Thursdays at noon in the library

Please join us! For more information, please email Jodie or Laurie. Thanks.
