MEMBERSHIP DUES
In an effort to be mindful of the economy and the tight budget many of our members are feeling, the Board of Directors has avoided any increase in membership fees. We are working to make sure that each dollar is spent wisely and carefully. In an effort to ensure that events can proceed at the Home, that maintenance is on-going, that the furnishings upkeep is current, and long term planning is accordingly programmed, the Board needs your continued financial support. If you have not submitted your annual dues, please do so at your earliest convenience. If you would to become more involved, there just may be a place for you in our organization. Some areas where we are seeking assistance are:event volunteers, event chairpersons, event planners. If you are seeking a way to keep yourself occupied, the Brinkerhoff Home Foundation may just have a spot for you. Or if you know of someone who would like to become involved with the Home, please pass their name on to us. If you don’t have experience but want to help, we’ll only be too happy to get you started. Feel free to contact us. We have some events rapidly approaching and if you looking for a start, now is the time. The Fall Craft Fair, the Victorian Tea, Bunco Party or the Christmas Party are occasions that you might want to participate “behind the scenes”. Call Nancy at 528-5087 or Susan at 494-1571. We look forward to hearing from you. If you know of a friend or family member who would like to join, please let us know.
COME JOIN US FOR A BIRTHDAY PARTY!
We are celebrating George Brinkerhoff’s birthday. We know it is difficult to believe but Mr. B is turning the big 170 this August. What better way to start off his 171st year than to have a party for the gentleman. His party will be held on August 28th from 6-8 p.m. on the grounds of the Home. Mr. B is kindly supplying (at HIS EXPENSE) the cake and the ice cream plus he is promising some entertainment for those attending. That’s right, since this is his birthday, there will be no charge for the fun and the food, just come and enjoy the evening. Of course, if anyone wants to give a gift to George for his birthday, we will be sure to accept it on his behalf.
See you on the 28th at 6 p.m. Come help Mr. B blow out all those candles.

In 1983, when the tree was placed in the Home, it was under loan by the Ursuline Convent.
