Help ECW fund outreach - submit dues by Nov. 1

Each fall the ECW Diocesan Board asks Episcopal Church Women diocese-wide to help fund outreach in the diocese, nation and world. Each parish is requested to contribute annual dues of $3 per person. Two of those dollars ($2) fund the ECW Diocesan Budget on page 33 in the Yearbook and Directory. At year end, recipients world-wide receive donations allotted by percentages based on the amount of money received. The remaining dollar ($1) helps fund the administrative fund.
 
The board also asks for voluntary contributions to help fund the Church Periodical Club and Miles of Pennies; the Elise Holladay Scholarships for high school graduates to further their education; the Book of Remembrance-gifts in memory of loved ones also fund the Elise Holladay Scholarships; God Bless the Children, Jackson-Feild Homes and Boys Home graduation gifts; and With These Hands, Holy Cross Anglican School, Belize Feeding Program.
 
All contributions are due November 1. Please mail one check payable to: ECW Treasurer with the Parish Annual Contribution Report to Betty Mariner, ECW Diocesan Treasurer.
