PAGE 20-rLAlNDEALER-FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1973 Art Fair Committee Cites Goals For Annual Event McHenry county artists are reminded to make plans now to enter the 1973 Country Art Fair, sponsored by the auxiliary to McHenry hospital to raise funds in behalf of patients at the hospital. Mrs. Elmer (Bertha) Stange, co-chairman with Mrs. Hank (Sally) Miller, will head one of the auxiliary's most vital, projects, an event with a two­ fold purpose. "One goal is to provide an attractive, imaginative showcase for the works of art of McHenry county artists, and for seventeen years this has proven to be a major sum­ mertime event," said Mrs. Miller. "Other purpose is to raise funds to help McHenry hospital with its service to patients, and this is one of the auxiliary's major fund-raising events, made financially successful through whole-hearted public support." Proceeds from last year's efforts through the Country Art Fair and the fashion show made it possible for McHenry hospital to purchase four pieces of equipment, which included: (1) aquamatic K-thermia unit, designed to raise or lower patients temperature; (2) a nursery coronary care monitoring unit; (3) controlled volume ventilator to control patient breathing; and (4) cabinet and facilities to ad­ minister the unit dose dispensing system. The three-day attraction will be presented at the McHenry Junior high school June 22-24. This art show gives the public an opportunity to enjoy the ownership of fine works of art and give the hospital a boost as well! Persons desiring in­ formation on how to enter any work of art should contact either Mrs. Stange or Mrs. Miller. Entry deadline is June 1. An awards preview will be held on June 21 at 7:30 p.m. (day before opening of the Art Fair) for participating artists and their guests and committee members. Artists participating in the gymnasium show are allowed a 4x8 foot area to exhibit their works of art, and this is in­ cluded in 1,he registration fee. They are also required to donate a piece of art for the Silent Auction where the public is invited to bid silently for pieces of art, and this auction will take place all throughout the Art Fair. The entire proceeds obtained from this silent auction go directly to the auxiliary. For the judged show, each exhibitor enters three pieces of original design and method". Two of the three will be for sale. Prizes are awarded, and artists sell their artwork from the ^show with a percentage going to the auxiliary for providing the showcase. Mon/ Churchesr Participate In Relief Appeal Many Protestant churches in McHenry county are now taking part in a clothing and blanket appeal for Church World Service. Blanket Sunday was May* 6, but the drive will continue through May 14. Church World Service is a cooperative relief agency of twenty-eight denominations. It processes and ships the clothing and blankets for Admission tickets during the show also provides revenue, and Mrs. Miller says details of this 1973 attraction will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead. Patron sponsorship is a third and key way funds are raised. Mr. and Mrs. Bud Ut- tich, are co-chairmen for this facet of the fair. distribution in areas of acute need throughout the world. Blankets are often more than blankets when distributed by Church World Service. They can become temporary tents when houses have floated away or lay in ruins. They can become garments when clothing lies buried under tons of rubble as in Manague recently. And, of course, they can break the chill edge off an icy wind during the long, dark hours of night. Blankets may be taken to the local church and should be accompanied by a quarter each to cover processing and shipping charges. Or warm 80 percent wool, 20 percent syn­ thetic blankets may be pur­ chased through Church World Service for $3 each. Good, serviceable light weight clothing is also being collected. Children and infants wear is especially needed.
