The Independent candidates of Peoria Heights will be having a joint fund-raiser on Saturday, March 7, from 1 pm to 7 pm. It will be at the VFW Hall on Lake Street, just a block or so east of Prospect in Peoria Heights.
The cost is $10.00 for adults, and $5.00 for children 12 years and younger. The price will include the lunch/dinner of pork chop sandwiches, brats, hot dogs, chips, chili, coffee, soda, and dessert. The VFW folks will have a cash bar running.
The Roundstone Buskers (formerly SullivanBurton) will be performing from 2:30 - 4:00; and Robin Crowe will perform from 5:00 - 6:30; so, we'll have some great music for the attendees, as well.
This is an extremely important election for Peoria Heights. We've made great strides over the past four years in bringing the government of the Village back to the citizens. To go back to how things were run under the previous administration, in my mind, would be a terrible blow to the Heights. However, that's why we have elections, right?
The fund-raiser, obviously, is open to anyone. There is no "independent party" in Peoria Heights; we are all running as independents and are simply pooling our resources to provide a decent fund-raiser. Any proceeds we make will be split four ways towards our individual campaign costs.
The Independent candidates are:
Mark B. Allen - Mayor
Robert (Bob) Hill - Trustee
Sherryl Carter - Trustee
R. Scott Owen - Trustee
PLEASE ALSO BRING TWO OR SO CANS OF FOOD PER PERSON/COUPLE/GROUP ATTENDING. THOSE CANS WILL BE SPLIT BETWEEN THE FOOD PANTRIES AT ST. THOMAS CHURCH AND PEORIA HEIGHTS CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
FOODSTUFFS ARE RUNNING LOW AT BOTH PANTRIES. THEY NEED OUR HELP IN THESE TOUGH TIMES, SO YOUR CANS OF FOOD WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
If you have any questions, or wish to purchase advance tickets (which would be much appreciated!), please call me at 688-6869. Thanks!
