Sixteenth annual Bliny Brunch to be held on Sunday, March 6, 2005.
Full participation of every parishioner is most necessary - we need everyone to help selling tickets, making bliny, working at the hall, etc.
This is most important - the Bliny is our major fundraiser and it is essential that all tickets are sold - please, be sure buy tickets for yourself and sell tickets to your friends - tickets are available from Olga Kiriloff & Anna Novoraj.
We need donations of good quality Russian collectables for the auction (they do not need to be expensive, but they cannot be cheap or junky). Please, check your home to see what you can donate for the event - these items should be given to Olga Kiriloff. Half of our profits at the Bliny come from the auction. Therefore we ask that everyone participate.
Many thanks to those who have already emptied their homes. If you have not had the chance to donate something in the past, please, do so this year.
