As many of you may know, the Roycroft Family recently has been through some tough times. Dottie was diagnosed with leukemia and had a bone marrow transplant in March. She is not able to work for at least a year. Dottie and her husband Bill are raising a set of triplets. Ariel, their daughter, was recently diagnosed with a heart murmur, adding to mounting medical bills and travel expenses from Dottie’s illness. The roof on their home is in need of replacement. Jim Ward has graciously donated his work crew and time to do the work, but we need to pay for the material. On September 9, there will be a barbeque at Hectors Inn, 14 Dr. Duggan Rd. in Bethel, NY. Bonnie and Barry Lagoda have offered their pavilion to hold the event and the barbeque will be done by “The Ugly Smoker,” Dwayne Hubbert. Tickets cost $20 each and will include pork, ribs, chicken, sides, coffee, tea and/or water. Other drinks will be available for purchase at Hectors. We will have a wheelbarrow-of-cheer raffle as well as some door prizes, a bake sale and 50/50s. Tickets must be purchased prior to the event at Hectors or by contacting Lisa Edwards at 845/649-3770, Eileen Hennessy at 914/799-4486 or Penny Ackermann at 845/701-2065.   

On September 9, the St. Baldrick’s event at the four corners in Eldred seeks people to shave their heads to help fight childhood cancer. You can register at stbaldricks.org/events/lineofhope2018, or you can give Lou a call at 845/557-3321 or email lineofhope@hvc.rr.com.
