ANNUAL VICTORIAN TEA
Sunday, October 14, 2007
3:00 p.m.

As we bid summer farewell, is there a better way to welcome autumn than to sip tea, munch on delightful scones and finger sandwiches, and enjoy decadent desserts with friends on a lazy fall Sunday afternoon? We will be listening to the wonderful sounds of Janice Mulrooney-Kuhn on the Harp. Seating will be limited to eighty guests so mail your check with the completed reservation form (on the back of the newsletter) as soon as possible. Please call Diana Hetherington (546-5984) and forward your check by Wednesday, October 10 to Diana at 2120 Wiggins Avenue, Springfield, Ill 62704. Tickets will be mailed to you.

FALL FAIR THANK-YOU
Thank you from Penny Greek and Linda Wedeking, co-chairs of the Silent Auction!
Many thanks to all who donated their special items to the Silent Auction booth. A special thanks goes out to Miriam Keirs, a long time Brinkerhoff supporter, who has generously donated many “top of the line” items. The Silent Auction crew enjoys being able to interact with so many great members and, as always, we have a good time putting it altogether. Without the likes of Jane Vetter, Sharon Norris, Cathy Yokley and Ellen Moore, our work would be very difficult. They are the best!!
Sharon Nation would like to thank all the members who donated such wonderful and delicious baked goods or worked the Country Kitchen booth. It was so successful, we made $610.00.
Nancy Nolan and Micki Paine would also like to thank everyone who helped make the Better Buys booth a success.
NEW MEMBERS
Welcome to new members Sharon Clark, Cindy Davies and Jim and Carol Shay!!!
HOME BEAUTIFICATION CHAIR, DORE SKEELS
The library bookcases are in need of some books. It would be nice if we could get some donated period books. Encyclopedias are in demand and will accept newer ones as long as the years are not displayed on the spine of the book. The classics will also be welcome new or old.
New purchases to the home are a 7x27 rug for the front hallway. A framed canvass picture “Floral Decadence” for the dining room.
Just a reminder that Christmas decorating of the Home will take place November 10-17. We need volunteer decorators that would be willing to do a room. Materials are provided. Volunteers are also needed just to help. If interested, call Dore at 787-4726.
CHILI LUNCHEON
Keep November 7th date open for the chili luncheon. Volunteers are needed. Call Nancy Nolan at 528-5087 if you can help.
