Chocolate Fest 2012 a huge success!
The Episcopal Church Women of Trinity, Newark hosted a fabulous Chocolate Fest on April, 21, where guests of all ages enjoyed tastes of amazing recipes created by 18 gifted bakers representing eleven different churches from Cambridge to Cincinnati. Thanks to this year’s sponsors, the wonderful silent auction offerings contributed by people throughout the diocese, online bidders, people who came and people who sent donations, the event raised almost $15,000!
Congratulations to Nancy Fouts and her planning committee, with heartfelt thanks for this enormous contribution! The proceeds will power ECSF community ministry grants throughout the Diocese. We are so grateful to this year’s Chocolate Fest sponsors: PNC Bank, the Church of Ascension and Holy Trinity, Aglamesis Brothers, and Madisono’s Gelato!
Coming up: Bike Fest! Cycle to Break the Cycle of Poverty August 18
Chris Tokarz, Steve Smith, and Greg Bell at the start of last year's bike hike near Procter. Mark your calendar and choose your route for a wonderful bike outing and cookout ECSF trustees Tom Cavill and Dan Fulton are planning for August. You can ride a beautiful circuit of Greater Columbus churches, concluding with a party at St. Alban’s, or take family members of all ages on a distance of your choice on the Little Miami Bike Trail, ending with dinner at St. Thomas, Terrace Park. For little riders in Greater Cincinnati, we’re hoping to have a bike rodeo! For serious bikers, we invite you to join our holy athletes the Rev. Stephen Smith (aka Rev’d Up!) of St. Patrick’s Dublin and Chris Tokarz of Procter Conference Center on a two day ride on Ohio’s beautiful rail-to-trail routes Aug. 17-18, ending up at one of the dinners. More details coming - contact Ariel Miller (ECSF@eos.net or 513-221-0547) to stay in the loop. |
