Fund raising at St. Aidan’s are multifaceted events put on to bolster the general operating fund, those for special projects, and those by individual groups to raise money for their group’s operation, activities or projects.

The annual fund raisers are the Annual Crab and Shrimp Feed, the Rummage Sales and the Wintergarden craft fair. (see photos of the Wintergarden)

The Crab and Shrimp Feed Crowd

Annual Crab and Shrimp Feed - This event is held annually on the last weekend of February with sessions on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It is an all you can eat, no doggie bags, sit down dinner served of shelled fresh Dungeness Crab, Northwest Shrimp, salad, hot French bread and ice cream. The 2007 event had a sale of 1,380 tickets raising money for St. Aidan's parish life and outreach in the community. With eight sessions being sold out and over 100 folks turned away, we are considering adding an ninth session in 2008. If you would like to be added to the Crab Feed mailing list, please send your name and address to:

Attention: Crab Feed
before the first of October. We send the Crab Feed flyers out the middle of November because a large number of people purchase the tickets for Christmas presents. More news about the event as we near the end of 2007.

The Rummage Sales - Sale of donated items in good or excellent condition. This ranges from furniture, sporting goods, household items and clothing. Sale held spring and fall. The sale is open to the community and does a service to those seeking quality buys at great prices and provides a source of a shopping outlet for the needy.
