After last year’s disruption due to COVID, the Episcopal Church Women’s (ECW) annual bazaar at St. John’s Episcopal Church will be held Wednesday, Nov. 17, in the Education Building of the church, 113 Madison Ave. In its current form, the bazaar is a more than 50-year tradition, and recently discovered historical information shows this may be the 100th anniversary of the first recorded bazaar.
Committee coordinators are working toward staging a safe and prosperous event, which serves as the ECW’s major fund-raising activity for its Outreach Projects. In the past, proceeds have benefited programs and agencies supported by the ECW in the local community. Past proceeds have benefited Abdullah House, Aid to Inmates Mothers and other agencies pertaining to women.
