Welcome new member, Diane Best.
Tea Thank You
A special thank you from Sharon Strasbaugh to my committee and members who so graciously gave of their time and talent to make the Victorian Tea successful. Thanks for all your time and hard work. It was a pleasure and privilege to work with all of you. A special thanks goes to Diana Hetherington for donating several beautiful tea cups and saucers and numerous tea napkins. Also, thanks to Cheryl Neal for her donation of tea napkins.
Fairs
Many of you know this year’s weather has proven to be temperamental. The annual Spring Craft Fair and the Fall Craft Fair were both hampered by heavy rainfalls. The Fall Craft Fair was cancelled at the last moment because the college was concerned about possible damage that would be created by the throngs of people walking on the rain soaked campus grounds. As a result of the winds and rains for the Spring Fair and the cancelled Fall Fair, the usual income the Brinkerhoff Foundation acquires was dramatically affected. We are always looking to expand the membership of the Home and look to the faithful base of friends for their continued support. If you know of someone who would like to be a member, please let us know and we will be happy to follow up with an invitation to join our membership. Monetary gifts to the Home are most appreciated and are also tax deductible.
Sister Ann Lacey
The Brinkerhoff Home Board of Directors would like to acknowledge the passing of Sister Alice Lacey. Sister Lacey was an extraordinary supporter of the Home. She began her work with the Home in the mid-1970’s when she lent her support and energy in preserving the Home. She aided in gathering the history of the Home and the Brinkerhoff family, applying for grants and she always glad to help paint and clean the Home’s interior. She was indefatigable with her desire and determination to see the Home saved. Perhaps she will be best remembered for her exhaustive work and its culmination in the publication of the book entitled The Story of the Brinkerhoff Home. The book, available for sale from the Foundation, elaborated the efforts of so many people in the battle to keep the Home from being demolished, the creation of the Foundation, and the Home’s continued restoration.
