Dear Friend of St. George Church,

We, the parishioners of St. George Greek Orthodox Church, would like to take this opportunity to Thank You for your generous donation that was made to our first “Live and Silent Auction”. The auction was held on October 18, 2003 and was a great success. We grossed well over $22,000.00.

The funds that we realize from our effort will go a long way in funding some of the many programs that the church sponsors to help not only people in the City of Lynn, but throughout the greater Lynn area. One such program is the “Caring and Sharing” program, which provides Thanksgiving food baskets to many low-income families and elderly in our community. We also participate in the annual free Thanksgiving dinner that is served to more than 1000 people in the Lynn and Boston areas. This dinner is held at “Brother’s Deli” in Lynn and take-out orders are sent to the Victory program in Boston. “Caring and Sharing” also sponsors an annual Christmas party for the families of the SPIN (Sewing People In Need) homeless shelter program. This party is held in our community center and is attended by more than 100 families. Each child receives a gift picture with Santa, lunch and prizes. Caring and Sharing is not limited to just Thanksgiving and Christmas.

We help people all year long. In the past we have paid rent for people facing eviction, we have paid utility bills and provided food to those who may need assistance.

In closing, “Thank You” for your generous contribution to our fundraiser and we wish you a happy and healthy 2004.

Sincerely,

Charles Lambesis
Parish Council President
