Who's Hungry????

The Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser is in full swing!!! Although we have posted "some" information , I'll try to condense it all here!! It will be held on Sunday, February 15th from Noon till 5:00 p.m. So if you're not taking your honey out to eat on Valentines Day, you can make up for it the next day!!! Tickets will be available at the door but we encourage advance sales. There's a full list of contacts on the left side of this blog with names and phone numbers. Call any one of us. Depending on where you live, we'll get you in touch with the person closest to where you are for your purchase! Tickets are $6.00 each with children 3 and under free. Ray Ragozzine along with Myron & Renee Esposito have most graciously allowed us to host this event at their club, The IFH Club, 33 West Wilson Avenue in Girard. It's directly off Rt. 422, just north of I-80 and south of Rt. 304. Turn West on Wilson and you'll see The IFH on the left. There's a large parking lot on the right. Go to the back of the IFH building for the hall. West Wilson is across from Charter One Bank located on the corner of Rt. 422 and East Wilson. Along with our dinner of pasta, meatballs, salad, bread & butter and cake for dessert (pop, water and coffee also included), we will have a bake sale, 50/50 raffle and LOTS of items for the Chinese Auctions!! Let's talk a little more about all this.... Sharon Johnston (330-953-0839) is heading the bake sale. If anyone looooveees to bake and would like to donate to the sale, call her. She said she would be willing to pick up any donations or if you are able to bake and deliver, she can let you know who's closest to you for that!!! Now. The Chinese Auction! We have many very generous businesses and individuals who have donated some wonderful items to our cause and especially during this difficult economic time, we appreciate each and every one of these gifts. Thank you. And along with our "regular" auction items, we will have some "big ticket" items! These include a 7-day condo vacation (no airfare or transportation included), a number of sports memorabilia, most of which are autographed, and a beautiful hand crafted quilt, signed and dated, by Ruth Huntington. We're working on a few other items that should be a great interest to many!!! We will post as they are confirmed.

When this event first got underway and we needed some advertising, Jeff Politano from Direct Mail Marketing (you know--the coupons in the envelope in the mail deal!) graciously offered to post our event on the outside of their envelope for the January mailing which was sent out to Girard, Liberty and Niles!! Thank you Jeff!!! It was a wonderful ad and alot of people have already told me that the saw it!!!

And hopefully, many of you have also seen the flyer that's been popping up all over thanks to the efforts of everyone on our team!!! Well, another wonderful gentleman, Mike Tarantino of Image Marketing, was the man behind the artwork!! He, too, donated his talents to our cause and we thank him very, very much. He and Jeff work together on many projects and we're grateful that they did on ours!! Thank you both again!!!

I think that about sums it up for now! Hope to see you all there!!!
