JOIN THE CREW
Beyond offering the old platitudes that “many hands make light work”, and “the more, the merrier”, we sincerely invite and welcome you to join the fellowship and effort to make our BMUC 59th Annual Bazaar the joyful and successful event it has been for all these many years. In the community spirit of former times, of barn raisings and quilting bees, the goal is not only to accomplish a specific task, but also to share friendship, knit individuals together for the common good, and to do this in a fun and caring manner.
So, do come out. Join us. See old friends, make new ones. Maybe, learn some new skills. No experience is required, just a willingness to get involved. On the other hand, we know that there are a lot of you talented, creative people out there with abilities “hidden under a bush”. It’s not all about working as sous chefs in the kitchen, or about brawn for setting up tables, chairs, and booths, though there are a lot of those jobs to fill, too. Are you handy with a paint brush? Is entertainment up your alley? Are you interested or knowledgeable about objects d’art and antiques? Whatever your gifts, there’s a job for you and many slots open.
It’s fun and fulfilling. Plus, you get the satisfaction of making difference in “times” that seem to be beyond our control. If you would like to be part of “the crew”, please contact Kathy Uyeno, Lindsay Hiratzka or Joy Goto-Aaronson through the church office, bmuchurch@gmail.com
SILENT AUCTION
Do you have some hidden treasure tucked away in the back of your closet? Or, perhaps, you have a “possible” antique that just doesn’t fit your decor anymore. Maybe you have and “in” with some retailer, restauranteur, or business person that would be willing to donate a service or merchandise. If any of these scenarios seem to ring a bell, or any other possibilities come t mind, please contact us for inclusion in the ever-popular Silent Auction. Contact:
David Fujita through the church office, bmuchurch@gmail.com
POSTERS/POSTCARDS/FLYERS
Help spread the word! A supply of posters, postcards, and flyers is available in the church foyer ready to be placed in a window, or sent to friends, family, neighbors, and anyone looking to join in a day of good food, fun, and entertainment in a warm welcoming community setting. Ask a shopkeeper, restauranteur, or service person whose business you support, if they could reciprocate by displaying a poster for us. We want to welcome as many people as possible to this very special day.
