Grace Episcopal Church, Massapequa, NY

No Affair Harvest Fair - Great Support from Parish, School and Community Our No Affair Harvest Fair campaign came to a close on Friday, October 16. While our total harvest is just over $30,000 as of October 20, there are online donations and checks still arriving. Hopefully, by early November we will be able to give a final number minus our expenses and do the raffle for the barbecue, donated by Massapequa Funeral Home. We hope you have taken notice of the ever-growing ...pumpkin patch by the flagpole, and we hope the community has taken notice to Grace Episcopal Church and Day School returning to life. This parish and day school is extraordinary - the planning committee put out a very high goal, and with help from our parish, friends of Grace and day school families, we have done the unthinkable. Normally, our Graceful Harvest Fair, attended by the community, raises approximately $27,000 towards expenses and ministries here at Grace. With the pandemic not allowing for our usual fundraiser to be held, our No Affair Harvest Fair was born - and we have raised more than any one of us dared to hope for!! How special and heartwarming - it shows how much love and caring there really is for Grace Episcopal Church and Day School. Many thanks goes to Nancy Mazzeo, Lori Caracappa, Barbara Staib, Donna Cynar, Kathy Roll, Carol Ann Brancato, Debi Csajko, Barbara Picken, Marie McAleer, Ken Cynar, John Caracappa, Lisa Beratis, Jaclyn Scott, Diane Winkler, Richie Csajko, Massapequa Funeral Home, and last, but certainly not least, all the donors from our parish families, day school families and friends of Grace. This event couldn’t be done without any one of you. Distribution of thank you gifts started the weekend of October 24 & 25, and we are still working to complete all the larger gifts due to the overwhelming donations received. While this was a different and successful event, we certainly look forward to resuming our Graceful Harvest Fair in the fall of 2021 if at all possible. The NO Affair Harvest Fair Committee
