FUND RAISING ACTIVITY
PASTIE SALES
Pastie sales are held twice a year. They
are prepared from scratch at the Burt Township School kitchen.
The entire congregation turns out for this project. Most
people have done the same task for years. Leo prepares the
dough. Sue rolls the dough and cuts the shape. Kathy mixes
meat, potatoes and rutabages. Bill places the meat vegetable
mix and the ladies crimp the edges. The pasties go into
the oven for baking. After about an hour they are ready
for sale and pickup. The unsold pasties are frozen and sold
throughout the year.
4TH OF JULY PIE SALE
A traditional fund raiser is the pie sale
held on the fourth after the parade. People line up at the
church before and during the parade to be among the first
to select the homemade pies baked fresh for the sale. Approximately
100 pies are sold. In addition brats and drinks are sold
to the people waiting for the pie sale to begin. All the
pies are usually sold within 15 - 20 min.
