6. Father's Request: Please search your memories and your "old" photos for good photographs of past priests that have served
Sts. Constantine & Helen from 1954 to the present. The photos should be good close-ups (as possible) so they can be cropped and enlarged to 9x10. The parish would like to honor them by framing their photos and placing them in a special place in the parish hall. It would also be helpful to have the dates of their tenure at Sts. Constantine & Helen. Thanking you in advance! .

The Parish Council Meeting will be Sunday March 14, after the Divine Liturgy, and is open to everyone. The parish minutes and financial report will be posted on the bulletin board. Also, the Parish Council has requested anyone making a donation, to PLEASE note (memo) what the donation is for. (ex.: Pledge, Memorial, Pascha, Christmas, etc.) If there is no specific notation, then the monies will be placed in the "general operations" fund. Be sure to read the new Parish By-Laws as approved by the Parish Council & ratified by His Eminence. They are posted on the bulletin board in the parish hall. If you have any questions, please see any Parish Council Member.
From your Parish Council Treasurer: If you have not fulfilled your 2009 Pledge, please try to do so. If you have not made your 2010 Pledge, PLEASE do so now. We need your support to complete the 2010 Budget. You have supported our church for all these years. Without your generous contributions, our church would not exist today. Our "Great Greek Bake Sale" held during Christmas, was a great success. Our inventory was completely SOLD OUT! Lastly, the Gyro Sandwich Sale held during Super Bowl Weekend was a GREAT SUCCESS! A very special THANK YOU to everyone who worked to make this event the success that it was.
