The GOYAn's will visit homes between 12:30 and 4:30, before meeting together for their December Synaxis. If you do NOT wish the GOYAn's to visit your home for the KALANTA on the 17th, please notify Minas, our Youth Director, at (336) 765-7145 Option 4 or minas@wsgoc.org by Monday, December 12th. Likewise, if you have not been visited in the past and would like to be ADDED to the list, please send your name, address and phone number to Minas.
This is the main fundraising event for the GOYA. Proceeds are used to assist with some of the expenses of Youth Activities and also to allow GOYA to make donations to charities. Your generosity is appreciated!
You may send the POINSETTIA & CHRISTMAS CARD information by email at office@wsgoc.org and pay online at www.wsgoc.org/donate by December 11.
