Fund-Raiser Report
It will take time to determine the financial success of our Fall Fund Raiser last Friday (10/1), but the Silent Auction alone raised $2,700. The Day of Golf, because of heavy rain, had to be postponed. James and Wilma Baker accepted honors from Representative Sandy Galef and Senator Vincent Leibell, a song from Kate Hoekstra and Tim Pitt, and a sculpture from Roy Volpe. See pictures and program in Scrapbook.

Scholarship Fund Created
A new scholarship fund at Arts on the Lake was created in March by the many friends of Kathie Freston on the occasion of her 80th birthday. Joined with the Bobby Doherty Fund and the Work/Study Program, it is now possible for more students, who might otherwise be prevented for financial reasons, to take classes offered by Arts on the Lake. See How to Register for Classes for inquiry information.
