Help save the historic Allentown Union Hall!

WOW!  Nice article in the Pantagraph about the fundraising auction!  Click here to read it!

The old historic Allentown Union Hall (a.k.a. Allentown Hall) needs our help. It was structurally damaged over the winter months and if it is not repaired soon it will have to be torn down for safety reasons.  The Allentown Hall was built in 1892 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

There are two ways that you can help save the Allentown Hall.  You can donate something to the auction fundraiser or you can buy something from the auction fundraiser.  Details about this auction fundraiser are on the attached flyer:

Please contact either Gail Kruse at 309-925-5497 or Kory Rickett at 309-925-5085 if you wish to donate anything to the auction fundraiser. The auction fundraiser will be held on Saturday August 1, 2009 at 10 AM in the Tremont Community Building.

Oh yeah, they will accept monetary donations as well. Just mail your check to Allentown Union Hall Association, 15905 Uhlman Road, Tremont, IL 61568. Thanks for your help!

Yes, I’m a cheesy actor. Thanks for noticing.

Okay, there’s no more denying it.  I’m one of those cheesy actor types.  Now that hundreds of Park Avenue Baptist Church members have seen the Father’s Day service introduction video that I did last weekend, the cat is totally out of the bag.

In case you want to watch it for yourself and make fun of me later, here is the video on YouTube:

Join us this weekend at Park Avenue Baptist Church in Titusville for a special event that is designed for the All Pro Dads that we all know and love.  Both services (Saturday night at 630 pm and Sunday morning at 1030 am), each lasting exactly one hour, will have elements that are specifically relevant to Dads.

They will also have a fun, casual look and feel, so go ahead and wear your favorite team colors!  Special items will be given away at each service!  I’ll see you there!
