St. Andrew’s church secretary and daughter take the helm of Downtown retail store.

(CHELAN) November 7, 2021 -- Following a whirlwind re-freshening and a truckload of new merchandise, the Main Street Gallery reopens Veteran’s Day Week in its long-term location at 208 Woodin Avenue.

It all came together quickly and with much excitement according to April Marcel and Lacy Boosinger, the mother-daughter team that took ownership of the stylish 2,000 sq. ft. women’s fashion boutique and gallery.

“I knew early on that I wanted to own a boutique one day and share my passion for fashion,” said 23-year-old Lacy. “I started working part time at Main Street Gallery when I was only 15 and fell in love with the process of helping customers, discovering new styles, and pull-together outfits that make our customers feel beautiful and confident.”

On the fine-art gallery side, which will expand to the boutique’s mezzanine, Main Street Gallery features new artists, new arrangements, and a new attitude. Specific pieces include paintings, photography, sculptures, and carvings. “We are honored to feature some notable artists in the gallery including John Ebner, Diane Paton-Peel, and Phil Skochilich,” Marcel added.

Main Street Gallery is the largest fine-art gallery in town and features pieces retailing from a just a few dollars for a lithograph print to original paintings worth hundreds.

“It’s obvious this is a family endeavor, with my son Luke assisting with the new POS system, store website, and social media sites. Lacy will be heavily involved in merchandising where she excels,” Marcel said. “Especially during the past 18 months, a new emphasis on email, phone and internet communications has been realized.”

“We can truly succeed with our new attitude: ‘A boutique to inspire, offering wearable and fine art of all kinds,’” Marcel observed.

2022 Stewardship Pledges

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

It’s an exciting time at St. Andrews this year. After 111 years of anchoring our site on Woodin Avenue, our historic log church received a much needed facelift including paint, insulation and some log repair. During the height of COVID, we expanded our capabilities so you and others in the church community could watch our Sunday services via the internet. Finally, after more than a decade of outstanding service, our wonderful Vicar, Rev. Linda Mayer, announced anticipation of her future retirement plans. As you well know, these opportunities and responsibilities require our financial support. Those of us on the Stewardship Committee ask you to dig deep and make your pledge for the pivotal 2022 fiscal year. We will be doing it – and we trust you will join us in supporting St. Andrew’s and the search for a new Vicar.

Faithfully,
Terry J. LaBrue
St. Andrew’s Stewardship Committee

Happy Birthday

St. Andrew’s embarks on the search for a new Vicar

Our beloved Reverend Linda Mayer has announced her plan to retire in January 2023.

It is now time for the Parishioners, Board Members, and Diocesan to begin looking for a replacement in her absence. Canon. To the Ordinary, & Transition Mnst., Susan Cleavely will be guiding St. Andrew’s through this process. At October’s Bishop’s Committee meeting, Susan met with our board via Zoom. She shared with members a step-by-step plan that will take place over the next year to find our new Vicar. There are many steps involved. Committees will be selected, information will be gathered, and reports will be written.

Susan shared with us that the first step is to pray. Pray alone, pray as a church, pray as a board, pray for Linda, and pray for her replacement.
