Here is a chance to really show your support
for the 2008 Marblehead Fireworks & Harbor Illumination. One of
our Committee Members (Brett Campayno Mentuck) of Mycoff Advertising
came up with the idea that we should sell “Collector’s
Item” hats to help in our fundraising efforts. What a great
idea!!
This year we will be offering FIREWORKS
FOREVER hats at several retail outlets. We are looking for more. Get yours
today:
• Marblehead Ace Hardware
• Pawsitively Marblehead
One size fits all! Wear it anytime you are out and about around
town and let everyone who sees you know that you support the concept
of FIREWORKS FOREVER!
The countdown to the 4th has started!
Dear Marbleheader,
I am appealing to you to consider making
your donation to the town’s Fireworks Fund now. I get a report every week from
Pat Cerrutti in the Selectman’s Office and I’m sorry
to say that the donations are slightly behind where we need to
be, and where we usually are at this time of the year.
The Census response was fairly good and the response from the
Mooring Holders has been OK, but really just OK. It seems that
many of you have, for one reason or another, put off making your
donations. We all have good intentions, but sometimes we simply
forget to do what we had intended to do until later. In this case,
later is here and if you do or did intend to make a donation, now
would be a great time to send in your check.
I know it’s still Winter and July 4th seems like something
that is way off in the distance. But in reality it is only 15 weeks
or so away. Believe me those weeks will fly by and before you know
it you will be planning your 4th of July parties around the Fireworks
Display & Harbor Illumination. Your Committee hopes that you
will find a good spot to watch from and that you will consider
your donation as the price of admission. The best part is that
you get to decide what you think your ticket is worth!
In round dollars it costs about $60,000.00
for the Harbor Illumination and Fireworks Display and at the
moment we are about $20,000.00 short. I’m not panicked
yet, but I am a bit nervous so please do Marblehead a favor and
send your Fireworks Donation to:
Marblehead Fireworks Committee
C/O Selectmen’s Office, Abbot Hall
188 Washington Street
Marblehead, MA 01945
Thanks very much,
Marblehead Fireworks Committee
