Historical October 1985 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
The August 32nd Labor of Love Labor Day Party was a tremendous success.
It is difficult to describe the most memorable part of the evening: the ninety plus degree heat; the raffle which was organized—and predominately won—by Tom Hoerr; or the exclusive, first-time-to-be-offered T-shirts designed by Ken Cohen. (There are a limited number remaining. Contact Katie Kurtz, 727-6377, if you are interested.
They are a stunning navy blue with white design and sell for $8.00 a piece or $6.00 each for two or more.) Enough money was raised to retire last spring’s remaining debts and start the fall off in a financially sound position.
Many thanks to the sixty some people who braved the heat and special thanks to those who did much of the work: Jo Ann Vatcha for the flyers; Sam Green for the hot dogs; Paul Kurtz and Jon Lieb for able help at the bar; all the Board members who donated items for the raffle or to eat; and, of course, Marcia Kerz and Marv Nodiff for their hospitality.
We also greatly appreciate donations from the following neighbors and friends who were unable to attend: Alice Beffa Erdelen, Marguerite Neilson, block unit 1035 of 5800 DeGiverville, Westminster, Nancy Farmer, Peggy Hermes, John and Margaret O’Brien, Carol Winter, Cal and Gee Stuart and Irene Geer.
The primary cost of the T-shirts was donated by Central West End Savings & Loan who are always invaluable friends.
A belated thank you goes to Jill and John Roach for the donation they made earlier in the summer.
As the Times is the ultimate not-for-profit publication, donations are always welcome.
All contributions are tax deductible and will be greatly appreciated.
