Annual Spaghetti Supper
An Italian Night featuring a spaghetti supper is held annually in October at the Fincastle Fire Hall across the highway from St. Mark's. The Episcopal Men's Fellowship supported by Episcopal Church Women put on the supper. A liberal portion of spaghetti and meat sauce is served with all the trimmings including drinks and dessert. Look for the sign on Highway 220 the week of the event. Tickets may be obtained at the church office at 221 S. Roanoke Street in Fincastle or from a member of St. Mark's.
Annual Membership Meeting
An annual meeting of members is held on the first Sunday in December. The purpose is to elect new members of Vestry and conduct other business as required. The meeting is held immediately after the 10:30 a.m. Sunday service. All confirmed communicants and adult baptized members belonging to St. Mark's, and acknowledging the authority of its Bylaws, who for three months preceding have been regular worshipers in the Parish and regular contributors to its financial support by pledge, subscription, or some other method by which they are known to the Treasurer, are entitled to vote on matters of the Parish where Parish-wide decisions are called for.
12th Night - January 3, 2009
St. Mark's organizes and produces an annual 12th Night concert on the first Saturday of January. Our 24th concert will be held January 3, 2009. St. Mark's began this series in 1985 at our church in Fincastle, VA. The concert was moved to DuPont Chapel at Hollins University in 2000 and was held there for six years. The concert will be held at Attic Productions' new theater facility in Fincastle next January. Past concerts have featured Robin and Linda Williams and some of Virginia's finest music groups.
The 12th Night concert is free to the public, but admission tickets are required due to the limited seating. Patrons are requested to bring food and money as voluntary offerings for the two benefiting charities, the Botetourt County Food Pantry and the Botetourt County Social Services Department's Emergency Winter Fuel Fund. All concert proceeds are distributed among the charities. The Food Pantry gives packaged food and fresh-food vouchers to needy families and provides other emergency assistance, while the Emergency Fuel Fund assists economically depressed families and individuals having difficulties paying winter utility bills.
Advance tickets are available at all Bank of Botetourt branches, at Digital Image Printing in Daleville, and by mail at 12th Night Concert, Attn: Treasurer, P.O. Box 277, Fincastle, VA 24090. Mail requests should include a self-addressed and stamped return mail envelope.
