A Scrumdiddlyumptious Thank You
Dearest Dreamers of Dreams,
What a gloriously gobstopping celebration our Fall Fest was! My heart positively fizzes with delight as I share the news: together, we raised a whopping $47,260, soaring past our $45,000 goal like a golden ticket on the wind! Even more delightful—we had more guests than ever before, filling our beloved church with laughter, generosity, and a dash of magic.
To each and every one of you who worked in the factory, baked confections, bid on our delicious items, performed in the Talent Revue, poured fizzy-lifting drinks, or simply showed up with joy in your hearts—THANK YOU! You’ve turned Fall Fest into a veritable chocolate river of community spirit and kindness.
A Note to Our Silent Auction Winners:
You should have already received a message about your scrumdiddlyumptious prizes. Physical items may be collected in the church office after Sunday service on 11/2 and 11/9, where the ever-gracious Diane Sander awaits to assist. For dinners and experiences, your hosts will be reaching out soon with more details.
Should any confusion arise in the land of prizes or payments, Diane can be reached at vermontdi@gmail.com or by calling 312-497-2040.
For Those Tidying Up Their Chocolate Coins:
If you still owe anything from the paddle raise or silent auction, you may send a check to Second Unitarian Church with a note explaining which delightful contribution it’s for.
Or, if you prefer the magic of technology, you can pay through Breeze by selecting:
Fundraising – Paddle Raise, or
Fundraising – Silent Auction
And if you missed your chance to give during the paddle raise—fear not! There’s still time to sprinkle a little more sweetness into the mix.
You’ve filled this event with wonder and generosity, and shown that YOU are the true magic of our Fall Fest each year. Now, as our chocolate factory doors close for another year, I’ll simply say—
“No no, don’t speak—for some moments in life, there are no words. Run along now. Adieu, adieu, parting is such sweet sorrow.”
