Christ the Redeemer hosts its annual Festival each spring during the last weekend of April. The event provides the community with fun and fellowship, and serves as a major fund raiser for our parish. Numerous volunteers are needed to carry out a variety of Festival tasks, and time commitments vary accordingly. Parishioners are needed to volunteer as Festival committee members, booth coordinators, shift workers, set up/take down helpers, donations etc. Please refer to the bulletin or festival booth after the weekend Masses each Spring for details and volunteer sign-ups.

Weekly Festival Notes - March 18, 2019
BOOTH CHAIRS NEEDED:
We have several booths without chairspersons! Being a booth chair is both fun and rewarding.
You don’t have to stay in the booth all weekend. It is a great way to get involved! A ministry can run one, partner with another family or friend and each take a day/or make a schedule to supervise your booth. Your responsibilities are:- Contact your volunteers to remind them of their shift time and where they should report.
- Decorate your booth (it will already be set up) and take down your decorations when we close.
- Open and close your booth by being a little early and making sure everything is there and ready to go. Put everything in the designated place(s) at closing.
- Check in with your volunteers at shift change to be sure they understand what they need to do.
Please call or email if you want to know what booths are available and to get more information.
DONATIONS NEEDED:- Mystery Night Out - Gift cards to various shops/restaurants (recommend $10-$25 value each or financial donation to purchase cards)
- Plants - Use your green thumb or purchase plants (potted, bedding, etc.). Financial donations accepted to purchase plants at discounted prices.
- Auction - Financial and item donations accepted. See details below.
- BBQ Dinner - Financial donations accepted to offset the cost of ingredients for this homemade feast!
- Adopt-A-Family - $25 donations needed to help give CAM families an opportunity to enjoy our festival.
FLEA MARKET:
Gently used garage sale items that still have a usable life are wanted to sell at the Festival - furniture, toys, books, DVDs, household items, etc. Donations can be dropped off beginning noon Saturday, April 20 (closed Easter Sunday) in the Community Center. Clothing, TVs, computers, monitors, and printers are not accepted.
MYSTERY BOOTH:
Our mystery booth has gained popularity so we need even more support! We need gifts cards from $10 to $100 (any amount in this range) for various places (shopping, restaurants, date night places, etc.). Turn these in to the Parish Office or when the Festival booth opens March 30-31, April 6-7 or 13-14.VOLUNTEER:
The Spring Festival needs you! Online volunteer sign-ups launch next weekend - be sure to grab a spot at your favorite booth(s)! Our most popular booth sign-ups go fast - please visit www.ctrcc.com/springfestival to secure your spot.SPONSOR:
Help make a meaningful impact on the Festival through a Festival sponsorship! Visit www.ctrcc.com/springfestival to learn how a direct gift to our biggest event of the year makes a difference in supporting our mission and helps this event thrive.CONFETTI EGGS:
Start saving egg shells for the Festival! It's easy - here's how: Tap out a hole on the top of the egg about the size of a nickel. Pour out the contents for your cooking, rinse out and save the shell. Turn shells into the church office anytime so that the committee has time to complete them.PLANT SALE:
If you have a green thumb, start growing some household plants, bedding flats, or whatever you're good at and donate them to the Festival! We also accept purchased donations.
