Toy Drive - ECM will conduct a toy drive to collect new and used toys to donate to charities throughout the Research Triangle. The charities include Ronald McDonald House, the Cancer Recovery Foundation, Toys for Tots, and Duke Children's Hospital. Please bring toys to the bin just outside the campus center during the first two weeks in December.

Parents' Night Out - ECM would like to invite parents to bring children, aged 1—12 years, to the parish house between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. on Friday, December 5. We will provide dinner, snacks, and entertainment until 11:00 p.m. in the campus center. The suggested donation per family is $20 for one child, $35 for two children, and $45 for three or more. All proceeds will benefit our Relay for Life team. Participants should sign up in the parish office by noon on Thursday, December 4 so that we can order appropriate food and arrange sufficient helpers. If you have questions, please contact Jimmy Satterwhite at jimmys@unc.edu.
