	The 2010 Brick Church Fair: November 15, 16 and 17
	A tradition for 68 years, the Brick Church Fair rings in our Christmas season. Festive decorations, seasonal music, delightful refreshments and a carefully chosen collection of more than 30 vendors with 10 “Brick” booths are highlights of this much-anticipated event The Brick Church Fair was founded for the purpose of raising funds for outreach organizations. The proceeds go towards The Women’s Association Outreach and Scholarship programs. The Women’s Association Outreach Committee gives grants every year to 12 neighborhood (Yorkville and Harlem) organizations exclusively to programs for women, children and the elderly. By volunteering and supporting the Fair you are helping us to give to these worthwhile causes. What makes the Brick Church Fair truly special is the spirit of community it creates. This is due to the many volunteers who bring it all together. Please fill out a volunteer interest form to help with this special event.
