Volunteers at St. Mark’s are planning the preschool’s annual Fiesta Silent Auction fundraiser on Thursday, October 25, and they are asking for all their neighbors’ help:

1. Donate a product or service to be auctioned off. Donations to the auction are tax-deductible, and your name/ your company’s name will be listed in the church and school updates and newsletters as a supporter of the fundraiser. Many local area businesses donate their products and services and benefit from the exposure to hundreds of parents and auction attendees. If you would like to donate, please contact Sarah Boyd for more information: sarahboyd2020@yahoo.com.

2. Sponsor the Fiesta. Individuals can support the Fiesta, too, and are recognized in the Fiesta program. Individual sponsors can select one of four sponsorship levels: $250, $100, $50, or $25. Contact Jill Ivie to become a sponsor: Jill Ivie at jill.ivie@gmail.com.

3. Attend the auction on Thursday, October 25, from 6:30-9 p.m. As a neighbor of St. Mark’s, you are invited to attend the auction! Ticket price is $10 per person and includes dinner, lots of great company, live music, full fiesta ambience, and, of course, the fun of participating in the auction! Find a babysitter now and contact Jill Ivie to purchase tickets: jill.ivie@gmail.com.

St. Mark’s thanks you for your continued support!

Hello Everyone,

The executive committee hopes to present for a vote next year’s officers during the October general meeting. This note, therefore, is a request for volunteers. We need to fill all positions: President, Vice President, Community Partnerships Coordinator, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, and Delegate to the Austin Neighborhood Council. These positions must be filled from our membership. Please see our bylaws for descriptions.

We do have a partial ballot. I will be running for President and Clay Boulware will remain as Delegate to the ANC. Kimberly White Erlinger would like to vacate her position as Recording Secretary.

Please take time to consider volunteering and please contact me as soon as possible so that we can publish candidates in the next newsletter.

Yours in Service,
Eddie Torres, Vice President
