2010–11 Presbyterian Planning Calendars
Presbyterian Planning Calendars for 2010–2011 will be available in May. As in the past, we will be ordering calendars in bulk to pass on the advantage of the reduced price of $6.25 including shipping instead of the regular price of $10.50 plus shipping.
To order calendars through the Presbytery Office, please email the following information to no later than Friday March 19.
- Name of church or name of individual
- Contact person
- Telephone number for contact person
- E-mail address for contact person
- Number of calendars requested
You do not need to pay for your order in advance—payment will be due when your order is picked up. When they arrive, we will notify you pick them up at the Presbytery Office. We will include an invoice with your order. Checks should be made payable to the Presbytery of Genesee Valley and marked “planning calendars”.
