CLC ANNUAL OKTOBERFEST IS OCTOBER 1ST We are in need of:
Oktoberfest auction baskets. The more the merrier so
get together with family, friends, ministry groups, or ask our community business to donate to the fundraiser portion of this event. Ideas include: sports baskets, wine baskets, date night baskets. You can also donate home décor, jewelry, tickets to sporting events, etc. Reminder, this is not a “silent auction” but rather a drawing for each item.
Sponsorships! We are looking for businesses, realtors, or
any donor that is willing to help sponsor the event. Sponsorships for the beer, the band, and miscellaneous costs allow us to reduce ticket prices allowing it to be a very family friendly and affordable event. Donor recognition will be published in the e-news, October monthly newsletter, and bulletin and on-site at event. Thank you for your consideration.
Sign up for food donations and ticket sales will occur in September. Please contact Dianne at outreach@clchr.org or call 303-791-0803 ext. 110 for more information or questions.
A Brief Introduction to Our Newest Staff Member Hopefully you have heard the news by now that Sallie Burns, our beloved Financial Secretary, retired at the end of August after 7 years of blessing us with her gifts of organization and care in the role. On August 22, Anne Buderus was hired as her replacement, with the new title of Financial Administrator – more fitting for the work that position requires. Anne has been a member of CLC for 15 years. She and her husband, Dwight, serve on the Altar Guild and can usually be found preparing the elements on Saturday evening. In addition, Anne has a deep love of scripture and believes firmly in Bible Study as a key component of her faith. If you were around this summer, you might have run into her teaching at Vacation Bible School. Anne comes to us with a background of teaching as well as former work with the Visa Corporation, so she is well suited for both the financial and relationship sides of the work at hand. You can find her in the office all day Monday and Friday, and in the afternoons Tuesday through Thursday. As always, you are welcome to come down and greet the staff that helps make all of our ministries successful. Please stop by and get to know Anne a little bit better!
