Mark your Calendar for the
World’s Greatest Camping Trip
**June 13-15 in Big Sur**

Guthrie and Steve Bruemmer enjoy
morning coffee at last year’s parish
camping trip. Above, campers Claire
Tulley and Madalena Taurke.
T
his year’s parish camp is June 13 – 15. As always, we’ll be at the beautiful Santa Lucia
campground in Big Sur.
We’ll float down the river, relax under the giant
trees and share meals with our fellow parishioners.
It’s the easiest camping trip ever, because the organizers bring almost everything: food, cookstoves, tables,
s’mores and more.
O
You just need to sign up, and bring a tent and a
sleeping bag. Sign-up forms will be available at
Coffee Hour. If you have questions, contact Steve
Bruemmer at [email protected]. Please bring a
friend. Parish Camp is a great way to introduce
someone to St. Mary’s. 

Join the Fun at the St. Mary’s Antiques Show
ur parish’s biggest fundraiser, the St. Mary’s
Antiques and Collectibles Show and Sale, will
be July 11, 12 and 13. It’s an all parish effort,
with jobs of all sizes, some in the weeks before the
show, and many during the show. You’ll be hearing a
lot more in the time ahead.
Last year the show netted about $27,000. Our
profits come from ticket sales, space rental for the
antique dealers, food and plant sales, a silent auction
and our own thrift shop. The thrift shop brings in the
Times and Tides
largest share of our profit, last year over $11,000,
while the silent auction did $6,000. The Corner Cupboard, featuring tasty homemade items, generally
tops $1,000, with the plant booth close behind.
You can help right now by doing two things. First,
mark your calendar for July 11, 12 and 13. If you
already know you’ll be away then, there are plenty of
ways to participate in May and June.
Second, look in the back of your cupboards and

closets for goodies for the Thrift
Shop Boutique. During the year,
the shop volunteers watch for fine
and special items that will sell well
during the show. Do you still have
that silver tray that you never
want to polish again? The
Yellowstone ash tray? The set
of hand painted glasses that
can’t go in the dishwasher, so
they’re never used? Antique,
vintage, collectible and other
nice items go like hot cakes
during the show. On the first
day customers line up outside
the Thrift Shop with numbers
for admission. But we need
your special donations to make
it happen.
You can bring donations to
the Thrift Shop when it is open
Monday, Wednesday, Friday and
Saturday 1-4, or to the office.
Please don’t leave donations
outside, or they’ll walk away and
miss the show. 
