FINANCE: Class expenditures: For any requested class expenditure, please contact a member of the Finance Committee: Bob Russell, Jim Embrey, Dave Grim or Karen Campbell (Emeritus) & Jim McCann. Since we have not yet sold the paintings that David Cooley



generously donated, we are exploring other options of potentially selling them through Ziegler’s or Richard Neel Interiors. If anyone else has suggestions for methods to sell them, please contact Ed or Judith Payton.



SOCIALS:Christmas Auction & Dinner: – Friday, December 2, 2016 at Tulsa Country Club, $40 per person (scholarships available). MARANATHA NEEDS YOUR AUCTION DONATION!

Our Annual Christmas Dinner Auction Party is just around the corner. This gathering raises thousands of dollars used by our class each year to support wonderful ministries and programs that touch lives.



You can be a part of this wonderful event by

1. Attending- as was the case last year, tickets are only $40 per person for an outstanding dinner at the Tulsa Country Club.

2. Donate a social event: either by yourself or in partnership with someone else, plan a party and have other class members bid on the opportunity to join in your social activity.



3. Donate an item for auction (either live or silent): tickets to a concert, theater or sporting event; timeshare vacation; an art or home decor item; gift certificates for dinner or shopping; a special event like a Spa Day or Respite Services. Use your imagination and make a donation that will help our class raise funds for next year's important ministries. All offerings of every size are appreciated and enjoyed, from heartfelt (like a plate of luscious brownies or a certificate to clean a class member’s car) to huge (like a party for a group). Please plan to attend this very special night for our class, as it won’t really be festive without YOU there!



You can donate by either completing a paper form available at Sunday School; or by completing an online form at : Maranatha Auction Donation Form

2017 Socials!!!: Our new and efficient Social Committee has met and planned out

our social events for 2017. They sound like great fun, so please put these events on your calendar so you don’t miss anything. Also, please make sure in scheduling your Auction offerings that you don’t schedule anything on the same weekend as an official Maranatha social event, as that dilutes the attendance as both events. Thanks so much for your consideration.
