PHUMC Art for the Roof
Parkway Hills family, you stepped up! To date we have raised $59,810.00 of our $60,000 goal.That means we only have $190.00 left! Some Parkway Hills members are sharing their artistic gifts to aid us in reaching our goal. Our quilters have donated a fabulous quilt, valued at $300 (or you can come to the quilt closet and pick out a quilt!). Charles Guess has donated one of his paintings (a 1' x 3' canvas valued at $600, but the winner is welcome to choose another of same value from Charles' huge collection). Judy Russell provided a beautiful birdhouse (value $100), and Bob Russell has given one of his handmade wooden bowls (value $80). You can purchase a ticket and possibly go home with some PHUMC Art for the Roof.
Tickets are $15 and we find out the lucky winners tonight at our first Wednesday night meal together at 5:45. You do not have to be present to win and the art will be given in this order: 1st ticket = quilt, 2nd ticket = Charles Guess painting, 3rd ticket = Birdhouse, 4th ticket = Wooden Bowl. You can use this link to get a ticket and pay via our Vanco mobile app or online here (look for PHUMC Art for the Roof). You can also get paper tickets and give in person at the church. We hope you will invite coworkers, family, and friends to purchase a ticket. If every household sells 5 tickets, we will reach our goal and then some. Any extra funds we receive above the cost of the roof will be used for other building needs. We do best what we do together Parkway Hills, so let’s continue to work together to raise the roof!
