Crystal Charity Ball
(Continued)
The audiovisual was conducted
by Evelyn Clark (Business Manager), and Jerry Randall (JR
Audio Visual). Additional
panel representatives included Sr. Corporal Robert Hinojo
(Dallas Police Dept. - East Dallas Storefront), Robert Rinker
(President and Chairman), and Patrick Manning (Past President
and Chairman).
On Thursday, February
7, 2002, at 4:00 p.m. we received the exciting telephone
call announcing Jonathan's Place as one of the winners.
Jonathan’s Place received the largest award of the
seven charities chosen - $750,000. Funds were awarded for
Phase I construction of the expansion project.
Crystal Charity Ball
ladies have worked diligently to raise an estimated $4 to
5 million. Funds were raised by grant writing, corporate
solicitation, individual solicitation, the date book pages,
contribution ticket sales to win gift donations, photo album
sales, and sponsorship and table sales for the annual ball
in December 2002. Funds will be disbursed to the charities
in March 2003.
Lydia H. Novakov served
as Ball Chairman for 2002, Gloria Eulich-Martindale was
2002 Underwriting Chairman, Margo E. Goodwin was 2002 Grants
Chairman, and Sissy Cullum was 2002 Charity Selection Chairman.
Special thanks to Nancy Hoak and Vicki Chapman, who served
as the researchers for Jonathan’s Place. The selection
process involved thorough research of the 37 eligible charities
by the Charity Selection Committee. Final selection of the
charities came after three rounds of presentations. The
active and associate members vote by ballot to determine
each year’s Beneficiaries. Without guidance and support
from Nancy Hoak and Vicki Chapman, this gift would not have
been possible.
