Fund-Raiser Success
With Ray Jessel’s songs, the sale of an original Peter Max, good food and conversation, over 120 party-goers (including Putnam County’s political leaders) assembled at the Sedgewood Boathouse last Saturday (9/29) for A 1920's House Party. As matching funds are still coming in, a final tally needs be postponed, but early reports are it was our most successful and enjoyable fund-raiser yet.
