LOCAL CLERGY TO SERVE DINNER, ENTERTAIN AT CLERGY-SERVER EVENT TO BENEFIT FAITH IN ACTION VOLUNTEERS
Binghamton, N.Y., Feb. 22, 2010 . . . . . Local clergy will serve dinner and entertain at the 5th Annual “Dining for Dollars - A Clergy Server Night” on March 18, 2010, to benefit the Faith in Action Volunteers, a program of the Broome County Council of Churches.
Clergy have volunteered as servers and entertainers for the event, to be held at 6 p.m., Thursday, March 18, at the Polish Community Center, 347 Prospect St., Binghamton. Attendees are urged to bring dollar bills and tip their pastors for their services. All tips and proceeds from the dinner will support the Faith in Action Volunteers program, which provides services to the infirm and elderly in Broome County.
“Faith in Action Volunteers provide assistance to the frail, elderly and disabled populations,” said Joanne Kays, Faith in Action Volunteers program director. “Our 300 volunteer caregivers provide non-medical services to over 400 frail, elderly and disabled care receivers. They assist with non-medical tasks, such as transportation and household chores, which enables our clients to maintain the dignity of living independently.”

Clarence Cerwonka, Rev. Art Suggs, Rev. Monica Stryon, Rev. Tony Hipes, Fr. John Martinichio, Fr. Timothy Taugher, Rev. James Walck and Deacon Edward Blaine.
