I thank all those who helped with the Water Filters for Haiti fundraiser in Central Park.
Musical Artists included Cat Cirner, Sister Redden Hair (Danny and Angie), Dee and the DT's of Huntington, Glo Smith, Phil Osbourne, Tim Holmes, and Katie Castle, Nat and Cynthia Handloser, also an unidentified gentleman for South Point who sang and danced. Savannah Bennett was ready with her guitar but was rained out.
Poets who read were Ralph Shelton, Cynthia Handloser and Gloria Smith. Nat and Cynthia also displayed some visual art.
Businesses who contributed included Dawn's Love Bears All, Papa John's, Lowe's of Ashland, Randy at Music Box Express, Deb Endicott, Lydia Bryant and Laine's of Pendleton Art Center, Moe's Domino’s, Texas Roadhouse, Verizon Wireless, Penn Station and Giovanni's.
Space does not allow me to thank all who helped.
The event raised $1,700 including some matching gift funds from AK Steel.
Thanks to all.

The family of Chuck Ferguson thanks the following: EMT personnel, Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital and staff, the Rev. Glen Stephenson, Reed’s Funeral Home, those who sent flowers and Chuck’s friends who were there in person or in their thoughts and prayers.
A special thank you is extended to Dave Poplin and Ronnie Daniels for their heroic efforts. Their efforts were not in vain. They afforded the opportunity for the family to tell Chuck how we loved him.
In death as in life Chuck was unselfish and gave himself to help others. You see, Chuck was an organ donor. His gift of life will give several a chance to live or a help a blind person see. With his gift, he lives on in each recipient. Spiritually, he soars in heaven with the angels.
Earl Ferguson for the family of Chuck Ferguson, Wurtland
