November 2023
Hyllningsfest was a huge success! Thanks again for everyone's hard work over these two days and all the planning and prepping leading up to this festival. Final expenses and receipts are still being collected. New individual statements will go out after finances have been finalized.
No LSFD Board or Family Meeting for November. Please be sure to get the December meetings in your calendars.
Sunday, December 3rd. Board Meeting 3pm, Family Meeting 4pm.
Blacksmith Coffee fundraiser November 1st through November 15th. There is new pricing this year due to an increase in our wholesale cost. Please use the flyer to share. I've included both individual and master google sheets to enter your orders. Orders and money must be entered on 11/15 before our performance. Coffee pick-up on 12/2 from 9am-1pm @ the Eden-Jones home on 708 Emerald Drive.

Our Neosho Gardens Poinsettia fundraiser will also start on November 1st and go through November 21st . This fundraiser does overlap with the coffee, but in the past we have had much success running both. We are offering the 4.5" pot size in 3 colors (Red, White & Marble) for $10 each. Please have your orders entered by 11/21. Poinsettia money due and pick-up will be on 11/29.

The Prairie Patch Craft Show will be on November 11th from 9am-4pm at the Southeast of Saline schools. In the booth we will have our Swedish bake sale items. You will be responsible for getting your baked goods to the sale. This is a voluntary bake sale but I encourage everyone to participate. This is just another opportunity to raise funds for the kids' accounts. All funds raised will be split between those participating in the bake sale and those scheduled workers. The last few years we have sold out of baked goods.

The Smoky Valley Community Foundation is offering LSFD a "2nd Chance Match Month" opportunity from October 13th through November 13th. Any new donations to our endowment fund will be matched up to $2,500. Help spread the word by social media!
In preparation for December's St. Lucia Festival, the fiddlers will be having an extended music practice following our November 29th scheduled practice. Debbie Johnson will advise those needing to stay.
I also wanted to share our St. Lucia Flyer that will be used for our upcoming December 9th Festival. Please feel free to share on social media.
