The cost of the dinner and entertainment is $25. For tickets, call Melinda at 207-749-9503 or email Beth Shirk at ewynnshirk2@gmailcom. No tickets will be sold at the door; they must be purchased in advance before the deadline.
The last day to purchase tickets will be April 1. This deadline allows the organizers to know how many people to cook for.
The Heist in Hawaii story begins when Magnum Matters invites his friends to his estate to show off the Aloha Crown Jewels, on loan from the National Museum of Hawaii. However, during the evening’s entertainment of ukulele music and jokes, the museum representative discovers that the jewels are “missing, stolen, gone.” The guests are asked to solve the mystery.
Guests are invited to wear their favorite Hawaiian shirts or grass skirts and Leis will be provided. To add to the fun, a Photo Booth will also be on site. The sanctuary will be decorated in a tropical theme and have posters available with the mission of each charity.
Dinner includes hors d’oeuvres, Hawaiian pineapple coleslaw, Hawaiian chicken served over rice, and a vegetable, followed by a dessert buffet. A vegetarian option will be available to those who request it when purchasing their ticket. There will be a cash Mocktail Tiki bar to benefit the Essentials Pantry.
The three nonprofits chosen to receive contributions from this event are Maine Needs, Sebago Lake Fuller Center for Housing, and the Windham Essentials Pantry.
Maine Needs is a statewide nonprofit that provides essentials to individuals in need whether it’s time and energy through volunteering, material goods, money, skills, or support.
The Sebago Lake Fuller Center for Housing is a local organization and its mission is to help seniors and veterans age safely in place by providing home repairs. Information can be found at https://sebagofullerhousing.org/.
Profits from the Mocktail Tiki bar will go to the Windham Essentials Pantry, a ministry of Christian hospitality and service to the community, started by Wendy and Dick Rozene, to provide personal and household items not covered by EBT cards. The pantry is open the last Saturday of every month from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
The church has held other Mystery Dinners in the past and they host an abundance of fundraisers for local nonprofits. Last year’s “Who Dunnit” Dinner was titled "Travel to France" for a Parisian theme. French Cuisine was served, and participants wore old French Fashion. The event last year had a great outcome of attendees, as seen in the videos on the Faith Lutheran Church Facebook Page.
