A Note from Kelly
The deadline for submissions to the Announcements Page and Newsletter is now 9 pm on Monday Evening. Thanks for your support!
Kelly Marsh, Director of Communications
To the amazing members of LCHope,
With heartfelt gratitude, we extend our sincerest thanks to the incredible Oktoberfest committee, volunteers, and the entire community for making this year’s event such a resounding success.
Your dedication, hard work, and generous spirit created a truly memorable celebration. It’s because of people like you that our community thrives and that traditions like Oktoberfest continue to bring us together with joy and pride.
We’re also excited to share some early numbers:
Before the event even began, we received an amazing $11,890 in donations from the congregation. And during just Friday and Saturday, we raised an additional $27,537! These aren't final totals, but they’re a strong reflection of the incredible support and generosity shown by our community.
From the bottom of our hearts—thank you!
Michelle and Jennifer
Oktoberfest Co-Chairs
