Bob & Arlise Weaver Cianelli

The planning for the Cabaret fund raiser per my earlier email is well underway. The event is scheduled for March 21st, 2015 at Our Lady of the Chesapeake in Pasadena. 300 tickets were available and we are almost sold out! The event is targeted to raise $15,000 to acquire a trac chair for a multiple amputee veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. If you are interested in attending, you need to call/email me asap to see if any tickets remain available. You are welcome to make a donation to support the effort. Please make the check payable to Our Lady of the Chesapeake with “Independence Fund” on the memo line of the check and send to me @ 1472 Westcliff Dr., Pasadena, MD 21122. Your donation is 100% tax deductible but more importantly, you will be giving a multiple amputee freedom of movement. A Youtube video will be published after the event. As I noted earlier all of the folks involved in putting on the event are donating their time and talents, including the musicians. All monies raised will go to the acquisition of a trac chair.

Polly Fitz A motor coach trip left Hagerstown on October 13, 2014 for a six day adventure to Myrtle Beach, SC. Three 1957 "girls" were in the group with their husbands (The three had not planned to go together.), and had a fabulous time enjoying shows, sightseeing, shopping, and eating at the best restaurants, but most of all just being together again.
