Lake $11139 REALIZED AT UKE FOR HEART CAMPAIGN Eve Levesque Neither slush, nor mush, nor snow over the boot tops kept Our local women from their appointed task of collecting for the annual Heart fund drive. 'Their perseverance paid off to the tune of $119.39 as of Sunday evening. With the sun shining so brightly and the .mercury 'way over the freezing mark, many residents resumed their visiting and were riot at home when called upon. Those who were not contacted and would like to contribute, may turn the money in to your local chairman--me. The funds will be deposited with the Me- Henry State bank and our cornmunity will be credited with the donation. * ' Grateful acknowledgement to Lois Parenti who helped map out the routes, distribute envelopes, assisted with counting the money, and in every way was the, perfect co-chairman. The three top collectors were Lee Brocken, Elma Nelson, and Pearl Nersted--in that order. The other women who sacrificed their Sunday afternoon for this worthy cause included Henrietta Vycital, Marge Egerstaffer. Ethel (Petey) Schmidt, Anne Passalaqua, Doris Brennan and Barbara Thacker. A rousing cheer!! to all these gals for a good job! Include McCullom Lake fit your address, please!! Paul Patzke, our local postman, has requested that notice be given to all villagers to include this vita] information in your return address. In surrounding communities, about four of them, there is an Orchard Drive, Spring Road, Lake Shore Drive and many other of the same street names that we have. You can imagine how oonfusing this is to the local post office and mail clerks who must attempt to figure out-- Who gets what mail! You can \$implify their gigantic task by identifying, your mail with Mc- CULLOM LAKE!! Ladles of the Lake Will meet tonight, Thursday, Ffeb. 27 in the beachhouse. at 8 p.m. Big plans are in store for the club and we need all the -old members plus a lot of new ones to carry them to a successful conclusion. Wouldn't it be nice to see every seat filled? A most cordial invitation is extended to all the new women who have located in the village. Wardrobe for a Princess A wee one, for sure, but a princess all the "same is Miss Peggy Anne Murray, the absent guest of honor at a shower in her honor at the home of Mrs. Marie Howe last Thursday night. The six "Poker Chicks" who gave the shower had a bit of difficulty in getting mother Betty to attend! But she finally arrived and all the women present breathed a sigh of relief. Peggy Anne received a wide variety of the latest in cute baby attire. Choosing the proper outfit for the right occasion will present no problem. The hostesses who prepared and served the most succulent buffet dishes included Cathy Sehlitt, Lai* Parent*, Mftrdy Lorch, BettjK HSmmerstein and Betty Roeske. Betty Murray is the other "poker chick." Invited guests included Fran Listen, Anne Matthesiusi "Petey'" Schmidt, Mary Kantorski, Lottie Piotrowski, Dorothy Miller, Marie Burg, Pearl Padelford, Ceil Warnes and Gerry Jensen. Eleanor Creutz sent a gift but was unable to attend. Some of the women stayed quite late to play cards. Vic' Howe did his bit by keeping "Dagmar" Company so Pearl could get in on the fun. Good brother-in-law, what? Softball Soiree Around eighty people congregated at Berenice and Whitey Bjork's establishment for the party given by the McCullom Lake softball team. The affair began with a cocktail 'hour" at 8 p m. From then on merriment reigned supreme. As e&ch guest came in the door, he or she was presented with a safety pin, with the information that a negative * answer to anv question was "verboten." If you answered no, the pin was forfeited. The object of the game was to get the most pins and keep them! The winner at the climax of the evening was Mrs. Gladys Schmitt who was awarded a prize for keeping her wits about her. Sounds cute! Aonther period of amusement occurred when names were drawn from a hat and formed into quartets. Each foursome was obliged to warble in harmony, IF POSSIBLE! Voted the best performers and most entertaining were Ken Crook, Sally Caparros, Eva Wendt and Joan Gergits. They received "be-bop" hats which they wore proudly for the remainder of the evening. Verbal orchids from the softball team to Dick Caparros, Jake Levesque and Berenice and Whitey for their donations and co-operation which added immeasurably to the success of the party. A personal thanks from your reporter to "scribes" Gerry Jensen and Anne Matthesius who took notes in order that this article could be written! Refreshments were prepared and served by members of the ball club and their helpmates. The team expects to begin spring training very soon-- maybe indoors, if the weather man won't co-operate! They expect to place first in the league this year.
