Past Events - 2011
ST. LUCIA DINNER
The St. Lucia Dinner raised $647 from free will offering, this money will go towards food
for Christmas dinner at Trotor Orphanage in Ghana.
LASAGNA DINNER RESULTS
On Saturday, December 10, 14 youth, 5 adults prepared 64 lasagnas. This resulted in
$1,280 made for tuition with Thrivent Financial giving us an additional $700. This helps with the tuition for
the 2 village kids, Paula, and the 9 juniors (the reason the 9 juniors are included is, the $8000 budget line item does not
cover the tuition for the full year for the 9 of them.
HOLIDAY 2011 CRAFT FAIR RESULTS
The Holiday Craft fair raised $770 in addition to $300 in matching funds from
Thrivent, this goes to tuition for the 2 village children and Pr Victor’s daughter, Paula. Debbie Marston raised
over $800 at the fair selling her baked goods and crafts and jewelry donated by Lisa Slater, this money goes to Healthcare
for 2012 which is $700, the remaining balance will stay in the healthcare items for 2013.
ANGEL TREE COMING SOON
The days are shorter, the weather has turned cold, and the joyful glow of Christmas has begun
to brighten as the holiday season approaches once again. As we begin making preparations for all of the activities with family
and friends, another opportunity arises for members of St. Paul's to share the blessings of Christmas with others who are
less fortunate. Along with the collecting donations of food for Thanksgiving and Christmas gift baskets to needy families,
an Angel Tree will soon appear. It is an invitation from the Social Outreach Network (SON) of St. Paul's for our family to
adopt and share the gift-giving joys of Christmas with less fortunate families with children here in our Howard County community.
Our sturdy little tree will soon make its annual appearance in the Parish Hall, adorned with paper tags that have sizes
and gift wishes for children in our adopted families. Take a tag, or share one with friend, to help a needy
youngster celebrate Christmas. Just remember that the gift packages, with the child's name and Angel Tree tag identification,
need to be brought back to St. Paul's by Sunday, December 11.
QUILTS FOR GHANA - December 10th
Our small quilting group is making progress, but we could use some more volunteers.
If you can a sew a straight line, if you can iron, or if you can cut with a rotary cutter, come join us, there is no
work to take home, just work a couple hours with us to help us get ahead. Our next session is Saturday, December 10th.
The quilts will be Christmas presents for 2012 for the children at Trotor Orphanage. Contact Debbie Marston
if you would like to join us!

be receiving an on-line community directory for St. Paul’s. What specific information is displayed in this on-line
directory will be completely controlled by the individual member and profiles can be as brief or as detailed as each person
desires. This on-line directory will make updating addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses, etc. quick and easy.

February 19 Music and Martial Arts Highlight
2011 Men’s Annual Dinner (5th Annual)
Toes
were tapping, friends were talking, good food was plentiful, and a precision demonstration of martial arts was performed with
skill and enthusiasm at this year’s Men’s Annual Dinner at St. Paul’s on February 19. From beginning to
end, the men and their children and guests enjoyed a wonderful evening that left everyone happy but also ready to have a little
bit more of everything. The festivities began with a bright and lively session of bluegrass music performed by the Buck and
Bobbie Trio, with Paul Clark playing his big stand-up bass as the unnamed member of the group. While about 400 toes of the
dinner guests (do the math) were tapping to the music, Chef George Mader was whipping up a spaghetti festival of his own with
a variety of sauces, crisp garlic bread, a sensational salad bowl and a couple of cobbler and ice cream desserts. Helping
out with the dinner service were Mary Manning, Sally Murphy, Marcia Mickley, Prue Ronneberg, Karen Wray and Brenda Grooms.
Following the dinner came a performance of martial arts skills demonstrated by 30 students and instructors of Integrity Martial
Arts, a Howard County instructional program for youth established by Steven Frost, son of Jack and Carolyn Frost. The students
and their instructors demonstrated some of the classic skills of Tae Kwon Do, a Korean style of martial arts. Steven Frost
took his training and earned his certifications in Tae Kwon Do from Grandmaster Jhoon Rhee, who is regarded as the founding
father of Tae Kwan Do in the United States. The group’s performance also included a demonstration of martial arts movements
choreographed to accompany patriotic music, including “The Star Spangled Banner.” The Men’s Annual
Dinner is held each year in February and provides a wonderful opportunity to take the chill out of winter. Watch for the announcements
for next year’s event.
