For those of you who are new to SUMC, the whole month of October, we sell pumpkins from our front lawn. It takes many people to make this successful. This is our biggest annual fundraiser, averaging over $5,100 for the month in profit.

We need volunteers to run The Patch every day. There is no need to lift pumpkins at this beloved community event. We just need friendly faces. Please consider signing up for 2-hour (or longer) shifts. Maybe even the same shift each week. If you've never worked The Patch, volunteer with someone else to get on-the-job training. Here’s the link to volunteer to work at The Patch. You can also sign up through the office. The schedule shows those who are signed up and the openings. To sign up, put a checkmark in the time(s) you can volunteer, click the “submit and sign up” button, add your name, email, and phone, and click on the “sign up now” button. It’s so easy! (We are using the free version, so you will see ads.) If you add your email address when signing up for a shift, you will automatically receive a reminder email a couple of days before your shift. If you want to change a time you signed up for, you can create an account and edit it yourself, or contact Elizabeth in the office. Questions, call Diane at 412-266-6113 or the office.
