The theme of the 22nd
Faire is “BLESSED”
As The Book of Acts 20:35
tells us,
“In everything I did, I showed you that
by this
kind of hard work we must help the weak,
remembering the words the Lord Jesus
himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
And give the Faire does; 100% of the net proceeds generated
are donated to the Parish’s
Outreach Partners.
Four Pacific Palisades residents
head up the 2013 Christmas Faire effort:
Monica de Haan and Ryan Marie
Brooks are serving as auction co-chairs
while Courtney Sheldon and Mary Vig are
the event co-chairs.
“We plan to honor the
traditions of the Faire while adding
a few new touches to keep it current,”
said deHaan of her
second year as co-chair.
“It’s a truly joyous
event. Catching up with friends
and shopping for that special someone while
helping people,” said Sheldon who is also
in her position for a second year,
“what a great way to start off the holidays.”
Brooks and Vig who are
co-chairing for the first time
“are delighted to be a part of an event that
helps our outreach partners to carry Christ’s work in to the world.”
As part of its neighborly
efforts, the 2013 Christmas Faire will
once again extend formal
invitations -- and two complimentary drink tickets -- to our neighbors along
Bienveneda Avenue
in the hope that they will rejoice in the holiday
season with
us.
