2004-Feb-07:Getting ready for fundraising, Ric Opalka, Deb Kure, Nick Rini and Harry Heflin are having a good time while assembling the fundraising kits produced by Charles White for the members of the ANFFLA. Ric is also preparing to staff a booth at the San Dimas Marketplace to help raise awareness of the tower and raise funds. If you are interested in helping Ric staff the booth, please give him a call. We plan to have a 10' x 10' tent, with three 2' x 6' tables. Kermit has built a four panel backdrop and Charles is making photos for the display. Also, we will have a new miniature model of the SMH tower that is presently being built for us by a model maker in Canada. Should be a good presentation. |
