SAMA – St. Andrew’s Medical Assistance – is an outreach program of
St. Andrew’s Episcopal
Church. Today, the SAMA committee had its second meeting in 2008
to prepare for the SAMA fundraising dinner (to be on Sunday, 13 April
2008 at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 13601 Saratoga Avenue,
Saratoga, CA.) There will be Middle Eastern food and an auction. I am
in charge of event publicity.
My first effort was to create the SAMA web page, now available at
http://st-andrews-sama.org.
As the newest member of the committee, I am still learning about the
program’s 14-year history of raising money for charitable medical
programs in the Holy Land and Africa. Other SAMA committee members will
send me photos, recipes, and text for the web site. For now, I put
up the pictures I took at last month’s Christian Palestinian craft sale.
(The same photos I posted on my
4 Dec 2007 blog entry.) I am looking forward to working on the
13th April fundraising event and SAMA.
