2009 UBBC Alternative Christmas Fair Coming Your Way !
University Baptist & Brethren Church will again host the annual Alternative
Christmas Fair Sunday, Dec. 6, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the church basement.
The fair showcases 20 local, national, and international charitable organizations that offer goods and services to those in need. It’s a convenient way to give a thoughtful gift to those hard-to-shop-for people on your holiday list or simply a way to make Christmas giving more meaningful. At the fair, donations are made to charities of choice in the form of a gift to friends or family members and attractive gift cards are provided.
This UBBC tradition started small more than 25 years ago and has grown in size and scope to include a delicious homemade soup and barbeque luncheon, bake sale, and Alternative Children’s Fair. Come and do your holiday “shopping” and enjoy the food and let the kids
enjoy the games! Participating organizations include:
