UPCOMING PHILOPTOCHOS EVENTS
School Kit Donations: As we do every year, Philoptochos will be collecting Back to School items, which will are given to underprivledged students in the area. This year's recipient is the King Urban Life Center, on Rich St. in Buffalo. To see the services they offer, you can view their website at www.kingurbanlifecenter.org.
We will be donating 54 kits to their center, and a list of items to fill these kits will be available in the Demakos Center after Liturgy. A container will be available as well, to collect these items. Most of these items are on sale now, at places such as Target, Walmart, Office Max, etc. Please consider donating generously to this very worthy cause. Deadline for donations is August 15, after Liturgy!
August 15th Luncheon: On Tuesday, August 15, Philoptochos will host a Moussaka lunch, after Liturgy. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Krolick's Chicken BBQ: On Sunday, September 10, there will be a Chicken BBQ lunch served in the Demakos Center, after Liturgy. This is also the first day of Sunday School, so it will be a good time for everyone to catch up with each other, and enjoy a delicious chicken dinner as well. Cost is $10, which includes 1/2 BBQ Chicken, potato salad, cole slaw, roll, butter and dessert. The meal will be offered to our parishioners only; this is not an outside event, so there will be plenty of dinners for everyone. Pre-Orders are strongly encouraged,but not necessary. Take out will be available. Contact Michele at 860-3838, to make a pre-paid reservation, or ask any questions.
Taste of Greece: One of our biggest fundraisers, The Taste of Greece, is scheduled for Saturday, October 21st. The meal this year will be Chicken in Phylo, side dishes, and Pasta Flora. Cost of the event is $22. Baskets for the Theme Tray auction are always needed, as are helpers for the cooking, set up and clean up. Please contact Priscilla at 634-0117, to see how you can help out!
