A Letter from Karen
First- thank you all for the OVERWHELMING response to help Debbie & her family. I have been brought to tears many times over your generosity! How lucky we are to have such a wonderful golf "family". BIG thanks, also to Pat & Tom for getting the word out!
This Saturday we would like to have a get together. I don't want to call it a "party", or "fundraiser"- so it's "Come Give Debbie a Hug Night at the New Paltz Golf Course." They have been given so many clothes..bless you all. As soon as she gets a car ( a whole other story that some of you may not know about)- she'll be getting an apartment- and will need so much. The very basics..starting over! Linens, towels, furniture, toiletries, salt, pepper..you name it! Please don't feel obligated- what she needs most is our love & support. However- if you are so inclined as to bring a gift- I would recommend a gift card..Target, Walmart, Sears, Grocery- to replace everything she's lost.
Having spoken to a number of people- schedules are chaotic. Some people had obligations during the day- some at night. So- we decided on 5-7...(or later) this Saturday. We honestly are not "company ready" upstairs yet- there's basically nothing up there. Todd & I will throw some cheese & crackers, etc out.(I'll get paper goods also) If anyone wants to bring a snack- feel free. The same goes with beverages. I'll get some beer & wine- but there's nothing else (no soda yet, either) so feel free to BYOB. Another thought..again- NO OBLIGATION- if, while you're cooking dinner this week, and you want to make extra that can be frozen- maybe we can stock Ernie's freezer with a few meals. For those of you who don't know- Ernie is Deb's 80+ mother- who has also been feeling the stress of the past few days. I'm sure she would enjoy a night off from cooking.
So again-NO OBLIGATION to any of the above. I hope you can all stop by for a few minutes, or a few hours- just to give Debbie a hug! Feel free to pass this on- tell other friends & members who may not have heard, or don't have e-mail. Any questions- feel free to call me at 914-388-4321 or e-mail me at ksilver620@aol.com.
