“It’s not the money, but the honor” said Marvin Nodiff as he graciously donated his $100.00 winnings to The Times after capturing the crown of top chocolate chip cookie baker for 1984.
The contest was the highlight of The Times fund raiser which was held at the home of Paul and Paula Repetto at 6161 Kingsbury. Despite rather nasty weather, staunch supporters turned out for fun and refreshment which resulted in a profit of approximately $600.00 for The Times. Other top finishers were Brad and Marge Weir, Tom and Ginny Klevorn, and Sandy Withers each with their own version of chocolate mania. Special thanks should go to our special judge. Post-Dispatch writer Bill McClellan, who took time out from his busy schedule to participate and of course thanks also to our elite team of local judges: Nita Littlejohn, Renni Shuter, Rick Lake, Mike Juwer, Ray Bruen. Jim Geer and Tom Hoerr (Tom’s ability at creating forms has gained the interest of the Federal Government in doubling the amount of confusion and paperwork). I’m sure that the judges suggestions for next year will include a provision for upset stomach remedies! Incidentally. Renni Shuter has graciously offered her house for the next fund raiser and suggestions for improvement on this year’s efforts are always welcome.
We do wish to extend special thanks to Paul and Paula Repetto for opening their home to the neighborhood and for being such patient and gracious hosts. Again.
The Times will be able to maintain its publication.
This is only possible through the support of all our neighbors.
We still are in desperate need of continued financial support and know we can count on all of you to help.
