Annual Horse Show (this event not happening in 2011)
This is the  largest single fundraiser that the parish has each year—The Saint David’s Hunter/Jumper Spring Bouquet. For over 30 years, the Saint David’s Men’s Club has sponsored a horse show, to raise money for North Fulton Community Charities, where we are charter members. Some monies are also dedicated to the Men’s Club operating fund in support of the parish kitchen and the various church ministries the Men’s Club supports throughout the year. 

The show is usually scheduled on a Saturday in mid-March, with a steak dinner the evening before. Please keep this date open on your calendar. You will find more information regarding specifics of volunteer needs, disbursement of monies, ad book sales, and the Horse Show in general in the church newsletter, The Illumination, and the Sunday bulletin announcements. Contact Mike Dougherty for more information.

ANNUAL PARISH PICNIC
Sponsored by the Men’s Club on the grounds of the church, the picnic takes place after services, in late May or early June. The Men’s Club cooks hot dogs and hamburgers, and parishioners bring side dishes to share. 

BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS
The Blessing of the Animals is held on the Saturday closest to the Feast of St. Francis, which is October 4. We are reminded of God’s love for us and all creation by the exemplary life of St. Francis. We know that your pets are already wonderful, but don’t forget to bring them (suitably leashed, caged, or otherwise restrained or contained) to St. David’s for the Blessing. The service is brief. Each pet and owner receives a blessing.
