The Episcopal Parish of All Saints' Church and St. George's Chapel are raising money for a project in Central America with the objectives of abating extreme poverty and hunger, along with combating diseases. Episcopal Relief and Development is partnering with the United Nations (including the United States) to accomplish this goal of securing clean and uncontaminated water resources for small communities. Because this is a low-technology, self-help projectusing local labor and materialsthe costs are low. For example a single well will only cost $1,874.21 and a latrine $165.55.
As part of our fund-raising effort we are having a raffle, to which several local businesses and individuals have donated the following: Barry's Gull Cottage, Delaware Inn, and Lighthouse Inn each donated a two night stay; other items include dinner for two at Dos Locos; one week membership and a one hour training session with Adam Howard at Body Shop Fitness; one hour massage by Konrad Noebel; homemade beach picnic for two by Susie and Jeff Bond; award winning chocolate cake by Dorsey Johnson, and a basket of chocolates and goodies from Lighthouse Inn. Tickets are one dollar each, and will be available at the Convention Center during the All Saints' Christmas Show October 5, 6 and 7, or by calling the Lighthouse Inn at 302-226-0407. The drawing for all prizes will be held on October 31, 2007 and the winners will be contacted by phone. For more information, call the All Saints' Episcopal Church office at 302-227-7202.
