FROM YOUR PARISH COUNCIL

Dear Fellow Parishioners,
 
This year's annual Greek Festival is scheduled for Thursday, June 6th through Sunday, June 9th.  Preparations for the festival have started in support our primary fundraising event.  Here are some key dates and times.
 
1.  Festival Kick-off Meeting:  Sunday, April 7th after Divine Liturgy.
2.  April 9th (Tuesday) at 10am.  The Ladies of St. Demetrios have organized spanakopita preparation.
3.  April 15th (Monday) after 5pm.  We need a group of men to prepare the ground meat for pastitio and moussaka assembly later in the week.
4.  April 16th & April 17th (Tuesday & Wednesday) at 10am:  Moussaka and pastitio preparation.
5.  Subsequent Tuesdays & Thursdays at 10am:  Block these out for food preparation to be determined as we progress through spring.  We will definitely take off Holy Week:  April 27th through May 5th.  
 
Last year's festival was very successful with our highest sales and net income in recent memory with over $100K in net income.  We hope to build upon last year and increase sales and net income by 15% this year.  
 
We are able to achieve this level of success because parishioners prepare nearly all of the food and many of the ingredients are donated, especially the pastries which are prepared and donated by the Ladies of St. Demetrios.  Our parishioner-made food has an added benefit.  Our food is fresh and has a homemade authentic quality to it. Our parish enjoys an excellent reputation for our cooking as witnessed by the success of our Fish Fries these past weeks.    
 
There are plenty opportunities to help your church in our festival preparations.  If you like to join the festival planning committee, please come to our April 7th meeting.  If you like to help in food preparation, please come to one or more of the sessions and learn the secrets to our signature dishes.  You don't have to be a cook.  We will put you to work.  The more hands the quicker the work gets done and it is a great opportunity to get to know your fellow parishioners.
 
Thank you for your support and God bless the parish of St. Demetrios of Williamsburg Virginia.
