FIRST ANNUAL ALL SOULS CAMPOUT
We are planning an all church camping trip from Friday, August 21—Sunday, August 23 at Barton’s Cove. We have reserved the group campsite for this event but there is limited space so reserve your spot early.
The plan is to cook and play together for as much of the weekend as everyone is able and keep the cost low (we are currently thinking $2 pp/night but if that’s a problem let me know). If you can only come one night, that’s OK just let Martha Elliot know which one when you reserve your spot. Please RSVP before July 18 to Martha Elliott.

FIFTH FRIDAY FUN AND PIZZA NIGHT
July 31, 6 pm, Parish Hall
Bring your favorite games, and a few dollars, for a sociable and fun Game Night. The church will provide beverages and a menu from a local pizza place for everyone to consider. We can decide what kinds of pizza to order after everyone has arrived (and hope everyone can pitch in to pay their share). For more information, contact Martha Elliott or Diane Dix.

FOURTH FRIDAY OPEN MICS
July 24 and August 28
7:30 pm, Parish Hall
Join Candace Plumb, Tina Waldron and other musicians for an evening of music and friendship. Sign up will begin at 7 pm for a 15 minute (or 3 song) performance slot. We hope to encourage people from outside All Souls, including children, to perform. Sliding scale $3-$5 per attendee, $10 per family. Volunteers are asked to help provide for a refreshment table and all profits from the concert will be donated to the church. For more information, contact Diane Dix.

ALL SOULS PARADE ENTRY PLANNING MEETING
Sunday, August 16, 2—4 pm, Parish Hall
All Souls Church members enjoy exploring their creative side, and for the last few years have featured unique, sometimes prize-winning, entries in the Franklin County Fair Parade. This year’s parade is on Thursday, September 10 and theme is “Meet Me at the Roundhouse.” The Roundhouse is celebrating its 110th Anniversary this year.
Will the choir sing rounds? Can we roll a Rose Window look-a-like along the parade route? Bring your ideas and energy to the meeting so we can, once again, put our own well-rounded spin on the traditional agricultural fair theme.
Bring your ideas and enthusiasm to this preliminary meeting. We will come up with a plan and then set dates to get together and create the entry. Does anyone have a vehicle we can borrow, if necessary, or a large flat trailer we can pull? Even if you’re too busy to attend the meeting, please contact Elizabeth Bonney if you have suggestions or if you can be in the parade.
