"The gathering has a celebratory
atmosphere that is part festival, part reunion, but all participants are
keenly aware of the purpose," a spokesperson said. "All proceeds
from the sale will be directed to world relief through Mennonite service
agencies." The focus of this year's Peach Cobbler Sale is the
AIDS epidemic in Africa and the thousands of AIDS orphans left in its
wake.
Relief sales are unique celebrations
organized by Mennonites across the United States and Canada to raise funds
for needy people around the world. The sales benefit Mennonite Central
Committee, a cooperative relief and service agency, founded in 1920.
