St. Mark's Youth Seek Applicants for Micro-Grants

[Editor's Note: This announcement was originally published on Oct. 1.]

2012 Youth Philanthropy Guild Grants 

The St. Mark’s Youth Philanthropy Guild (YPG)—a group of high school juniors and seniors who are parishioners at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in New Canaan, CT — seeks to carry out the parish mission to make disciples who experience a deeper life in Christ, a more holy communion with one another, and a greater love for the world. Based on our call to have a greater love for the world, the YPG will award grants ranging from $500 to $2500 to deserving projects that make a community impact by enriching the lives of those in need.

The funds are generated through parish events such as the annual May Fair fundraiser and grants are approved by the St. Mark’s Outreach Commission and Vestry.

The YPG is currently accepting grant applications from any organization or student group in Fairfield County, CT.  Grant applications must be submitted and complete by May 15, 2012 for consideration in the 2012 calendar year.

Where DIDN'T you learn to write?? Jane Himmel May 22, 2013 at 01:27 pm "This has CONVINCED MYRead More GROWING CONVICTION that Patch has moved complete..."

I just called Staples. This is really disturbing to me. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, IRead More will let people know and I will also decide whether to continue shopping there. I do not like to give my money to unethical businesses.

This has convinced my growing conviction that Patch has moved completely away from any pretense ofRead More being a news source and is simply an electronic bulletin board. By abandoning their prior procedure of approving posts before they go up, they are letting anything go on and then taking them down if they're reported. By then, it's too late: the poster has gotten their message across during the time it's in the lineup. I only check in with Patch occasionally now and so many people in town won't read it at all anymore. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what kind of a public forum this venue is. This doesn't reflect well on Staples if they are using subterfuge and violating Terms of Use on Patch either.

New Canaan hockey players are better off playing at Sono, Ridgefield or Stamford Youth Hockey.
