Remembering When « : H (with long time subscribers) MR. AND MRS. ALOYS STEFFENS A landscaper by trade, Aloys Steffens came to America from Germany in 1924 to escape Germany's great depression and lived in Johnsburg before moving to McHenry. In 1932, he went back to Germany to marry and returned to Johnsburg in 1933. The Steffens came from the same area in Germany where many McHenry settlers came from. "When we came tp Johnsburg, it was all Adams, Frett and Schmitt," Steffens said. "Adams was my great- grandfather'sbrother." Steffens was self employed and worked in the Pistakee Lake area as a landscaper until he went to work for Johnson Motors. The Steffens enjoy reading the front page and the everyday aspects of McHenry life-marriages, deaths and the like. Host Membership Party Shown above are Mr. and Mrs. Leo Bland, members of the Fox Ridge Women's club, who boated a party for new and prospective members recenty. Funds Sought For Senior Center Five years ago, there were virtually no social services for older persons living in McHenry county. When the McHenry county Senior Citizens council was formed in 1975, it began to bring programs into the area. The many programs spon­ sored and conducted by the Senior citizens council are advocacy, information and referral, outreach, counseling, health screening, escort, transportation, friendly visiting and recreation. Funds for the operation of the various activities come from the federal government, local governments, agencies and from gifts, memorials and donations. Marge Jones, executive director of the McHenry county Senior Citizens council, an­ nounced the beginning of a special fund raising campaign to provide for the completion of the multi-purpose Senior Citizen center and kitchen for the countywide "Meet and Eat" program for senior citizens. Grants have been received from the federal government to assist in the acquisition of the building and provide for kit­ chen equipment "for preparation of meals for countywide distribution. "However", Marge Jones explains, "it is necessary for us to obtain additional funds in order to complete the capital improvements necessary to make the new center func­ tional." Special fund raising events are necessary to meet an estimated shortage of $40,000, required to complete the center, located at 133 Illinois street, Crystal Lake. Seniors in the centers have been, working diligently on hand crafted items for sale to help raise the dollars needed to purchase the building. The administrative staff and local businessmen have been of great assistance in developing and planning the fund raising program that is being an­ nounced by general co- chairmen, Bob Blazier and Dan lone. A Builders' Wall is planned to recognize contributions for the acquisition and rennovation of the center. This will consist of plaques inscribed with the names of those members of communities, individuals, businesses and industry, who make substantial contributions toward the completion of the center. Already, hundreds of hours of volunteer labor involving citizenry and tradesmen have been donated to the project, and now the fund raising events will enable all of the people of McHenry county to participate in meeting a very important need. Individuals or firms desiring additional information as to how they can participate should contact Marge Jones at 338-6075 or 455-0055.
