Update: UMW Bazaar and Craft Fair
After three months of discussion and prayerful consideration, CUMW's Board voted to cancel plans for the 2020 Holiday Bazaar and Craft Fair due to the uncertainty of the pandemic spread, restrictions, in-person worship and church events. As currently done, social distancing would be almost impossible. It was important to let potential vendors know as they plan months in advance. We were also reluctant to request Silent Auction donations from businesses that have been closed for months. It was not an easy decision.
We do plan to sell 2020 White House Ornaments and hope to have several small events as circumstances allow.
