Dear Sirs and/or Mesdames:

Faith United Methodist Church (Tax ID # 23-7252315), located on Clintonville Road in North Haven, CT will be hosting its annual Spring Fair on Saturday, May 7th from 8:30-2. Held at our central location, this well-publicized event will have something for everyone, including Mother’s Day plants, freshly Baked Goods, Crafters, Tag Sales, and more. We anticipate an attendance of up to 500 people throughout the day.

Our Spring Fair benefits the many projects Faith supports in North Haven, Wallingford, New Haven and the larger community. Like most non-profits, we’ve struggled these last 2 years, but through the support of partners, such as yourselves, Faith has continued to expand its Garden of Eden, where we grow fresh fruits and vegetables that are then distributed amongst the local Food Banks in the region. We actively participate in Loaves & Fishes (a program that not only provides food but also clothes and medical attention to those who cannot otherwise afford it), and Christian Community Action to help provide for families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, on top of our many other ongoing missional endeavors, both in the local community and abroad.

One of the more successful ways we have attracted fair goers is with our annual Silent Auction. Throughout the day, those attending the fair can bid on over fifty items with a furious bidding process toward the end of the day. We hope that we can count on you to contribute to this auction. Donations of gift cards, admission tickets, etc. surely draw a great deal of interest in our event, for which we can not thank you enough.

In response to your participation, we will advertise your Establishment in our Church Bulletins and newsletter as well as throughout the day of the event, itself. Additionally, you may supply us with any flyers or other information to be given to our fair goers.

We look forward to answering any questions you may have and to your participation in this Spring Event. You can always reach me at dmbogert@sbcglobal.net or 203-605-5662 for additional information.

Sincerely,

David Bogert

Silent Auction Chair
