Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation

 Dear Fellow Parishioners and Friends,

Our dear Annunciation Cathedral will host its 38^th Annual Greek Heritage Festival on November 6, 7 & 8, 2009.    The Festival will again take place at the Cathedral on West Preston Street.  Our Guests will experience:

Greek Food   *  Delicious Pastries  *  Live Greek Music
Authentic Gifts *Arts & Crafts * Dance Troupe Performances
A Silent Auction * Cathedral Tours.

I hold the Cathedral close to my heart, and I am honored to be the Silent Auction Chairperson this year.   We have many new ideas and plan to feature several exciting items, including:  Super Bowl Packages, Sports Memorabilia, Getaways, and more. 

The Silent Auction is a major fundraiser for our Cathedral, with proceeds going directly to church ministries and to our Cathedral Complex.  In order to make our Festival a success this year, we need your help by making a donation.  Any donation to the silent auction would be greatly appreciated.  In addition, you can also donate your item in “Memory of” or in “Honor of” a loved one. 

Monetary Donations are also being accepted from donors who desire to adopt an auction item from the list below. This wish list contains “Hot” items from 2009 and 2010.  These items are sure to stand out at the auction.  Your generosity will be recognized in our Festival booklet, as well as verbally announced by our motivated Silent Auction Committee!  If you are donating your item in “Memory of ” or in “Honor of” a loved one, your loved ones name will be displayed with the item as well as in our Festival booklet, therefore allowing you to honor or memorialize your loved one in a special way.
