(professional artist – and Parker’s roommate!) and Janis Rosebrook. The

first two sessions will involve making non-traditional necklaces and

bracelets from beads and other “found” objects (with Brittany), and

making resin pendants, e.g. steampunk (or other creative free- flowing

ideas) with Janis. If you work with one medium the first session, you

can switch the second session.

Scholarships are available for anyone who needs help. Contact the

church office. Class size limited to 8 people. Contact Janis at

SAVE THE DATES

Sunday, October 12, 2014, the Andrew Blackwood Memorial Blood

Drive returns to Saint Mark's. What is this and why does it matter?

Andy Blackwood was a Boy Scout in St. Mark's Troop 1 when he

contracted cancer. While being treated at City of Hope, he had 3 goals:

to graduate from high school with his friends, become an Eagle Scout,

and to organize a blood drive to help other people with cancer.

Ultimately, Andy lost his battle with cancer, but he lived long enough to

achieve all 3 of his goals. Each year since, Troop 1 has partnered with

City of Hope to hold this blood drive in his memory. Thanks to the

support of our School and Church communities, this is now City of

Hope's largest annual blood drive! Please contact Seth, Nick, or Jonas

Bass for more information or to sign up: 818-359-4108 or

craboo@mac.com. They, and other members of the Saint Mark's

Scouting family are happy to accept sign-ups from anyone 18 or over. If

you have questions about your eligibility to donate, do not hesitate to

ask as qualifications change over time. Refreshments and comfortable

donation beds are provided.

CROP Walk: Sunday, November 2, 1:00 p.m.

It is time to register for the annual CROP Hunger Walk! The event is on

5k route and a 1 mile walk on flatter terrain.

2. Donate - We will collect donations on Sunday, October 19 and

Sunday, October 26.

3. Spread the word! - Non-Saint Mark's members are welcome to join

our team too! Encourage friends to walk and donate.
