KNIT-A-THON MARCH 18, 2023
The Women of St Margaret’s knitters are having a KNIT-A-THON on March 18th, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. All craft venues welcome during this day of sharing, creating, enjoying food, all while raising funds for those who need assistance with fuel costs. We are all aware of the tremendous rise in costs to heat our homes, but those less fortunate need our help so that they, too, can have a warm home. During the day folks come and go, and because it is a pot luck as well, we ask that you bring a side dish of food to share (soup, chili, bread, crackers, cheese, vegetables, fruit, sweets, etc.). We have the blessing of a wonderful space to gather, the St. Margaret’s Parish Hall, so there is plenty of space to spread out. Coffee and hot water for tea will be provided. Please join us for a day of creating and giving.
After a COVID hiatus, the women of St. Margaret’s are bringing back their traditional English high tea. The tea and bake sale will be held on Saturday, November 5 from 11-2 and all are welcome.
The parish house at 95 Court Street will be transformed into a charming English tea room for the event, with scones and cream, tarts, cucumber finger sandwiches, cake and a pots of steaming tea, all served on fine china.
The bake sale features tables laden with breads, pies, cakes, cookies, jams and jellies, while a Jewelry Boutique offers refurbished jewelry that is perfect to gift or keep for yourself. A silent auction offers a variety of items and gift certificates.Tickets are $15 for the tea and all proceeds will benefit community service organizations. FMI call St. Margaret’s office, 338-2412.

The Women (and a few men) of St. Margaret’s deserve a hearty round of applause and words of appreciation for the English Tea held last Saturday. From the Cucumber Crew to the servers, bakers, and all the workers, the event was a smashing success and a truly memorable event for all who attended and all who contributed.
More than 100 individuals enjoyed a pot of tea, cucumber sandwiches, mince tarts, ginger biscuits, lemon cake, and a warm scone with heavy cream and strawberry jam. In addition to the bake sale, the jewelry boutique, white elephant sale, and silent auction helped raise more than $2200 for programs and projects supported by the Women of St. Margaret’s.
Space prevents listing everyone who worked to make this a joyful occasion but you know who you are! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
The Women of St. Margaret’s invite you to join them for a KNIT-A-THON
Saturday, November 17, 2018
8am to 8pm
St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church, 95 Court St., Belfast
All proceeds will be benefit the Belfast Soup Kitchen. Donations of non perishable food items are also accepted.
How does it work?
Participants should complete the donation/sponsor form prior to the event. The idea is to get sponsors to make flat donations, or donate based on the amount of hours the participant will be knitting. For example, a sponsor may give $5.00, or offer to pay the knitter $2.00 per hour. Any and all are welcome, and while knitting will be the focus, other fiber artists are more than welcome to join the event. FMI visit stmargarets- belfast.org or contact Sara at 978-325-0045 or Jillian jillianliver@gmail.com.
