Toys for Tots<br />
Coldwell Banker Town and<br />
Country would like all children<br />
of Jefferson County to<br />
experience a very happy holiday.<br />
In cooperation with the<br />
U. S. Marine Corps Reserve,<br />
the local <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> office will participate as sponsors<br />
for Toys for Tots.<br />
The <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> office at 9522 Oak Bay Road in<br />
the Upper Village will serve as an official collection<br />
center from now until Friday, December 18. Coldwell<br />
Banker Town and Country has been participating in this<br />
worthwhile event for several years by collecting new,<br />
unwrapped toys and books for tots to teenagers.<br />
Founded in 1947, Toys for Tots has evolved from a small<br />
Los Angeles area project to a nationwide campaign. The<br />
U. S. Marine Corps Reserve distributes the toys to local<br />
charitable organizations and with the help of all of our <strong>Port</strong><br />
<strong>Ludlow</strong> neighbors, we can make sure that all children in<br />
Jefferson County experience a memorable holiday!<br />
Yacht Club Leases Wreck Room<br />
After many years of exploring the possibility of a facility<br />
for the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong> Yacht Club (PLYC) in the environment<br />
of the Marina, the Club is pleased to announce that<br />
it has leased the Wreck Room facility in the Harbormaster<br />
building. This will be a year-long pilot program to determine<br />
the benefits to the membership of a land facility.<br />
Many members of our Club deserve thanks for donating<br />
their talents and expertise and working tirelessly to bring<br />
this opportunity to fruition.<br />
The PLYC Board created a Member-at-Large position<br />
with responsibility to implement a program for a Club<br />
facility and to formulate policies for that use. The position<br />
will be filled by Mary Ann Callahan. The Vice-Commodore<br />
of the Club or designee will be responsible for dayto-day<br />
operations of the Wreck Room.<br />
The use of the Wreck Room is intended for PLYC members,<br />
their guests and members of reciprocal yacht clubs.<br />
The days and times that the Wreck Room will be in operation<br />
are under review and will be published to the membership<br />
in the Jib Sheet and on the PLYC website. PLYC<br />
has applied for a Non-Profit Private Club license to serve<br />
liquor on the premises.<br />
Quilters’ and Crafters’ Show and<br />
Sale Benefits the Food Bank<br />
by Linda Karp, Crafter and Contributing Writer<br />
The Quilters’ and Crafters’ Show and Sale, held on<br />
November 4 at the Bay Club, was a bustling good time<br />
for all who attended as well as the participants. Laughter<br />
and conversation created a holiday atmosphere. The halls<br />
were lined with amazing quilts while the side rooms were<br />
full of delightful crafts. Most of the shoppers purchased<br />
presents for the holidays while others visited with the<br />
creative South Bay, North Bay and Friday Market crafters<br />
and quilters.<br />
The participants’ percentage of their sales created a total<br />
donation of $700 for The Jefferson County Food Bank. At<br />
this time of the year the needs of the people of our County<br />
are particularly important. Since the show was such fun as<br />
well as a benefit for the hungry, we are looking forward to<br />
next year’s show and hope to discover new <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
quilters and crafters to be a part of the occasion. Thanks<br />
go to Linda Colasurdo for coordinating the event.<br />
Love, Sex and the<br />
IRS Casting Underway<br />
by Vallery Durling<br />
Auditions were held in November for the next <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
Village Players (LVP) production. We are currently casting<br />
and holding call-backs. You may look forward to the<br />
big cast announcement in your January Voice.<br />
The December focus is casting, and we begin rehearsals<br />
in January. We will work hard for three months to give<br />
you three evenings and one afternoon of outstanding fun<br />
and entertainment in the last weekend of March 2010.<br />
To make that happen—we need you. January’s focus<br />
will be the backstage support group better known as the<br />
production crew. You’ve heard the saying, “It takes a Village?”<br />
Well it is definitely true. It takes the <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Ludlow</strong><br />
Village to support this effort. From Production and/<br />
or Stage Manager to turning the lights on and off, there<br />
are costumes, make-up, lighting, sound effects, publicity,<br />
graphics, programs, posters, ticket takers, ushers and<br />
many more. No experience is needed, but it is always<br />
welcome.<br />
There may even be a role still unfilled in the cast. If you<br />
missed auditions and want to join the cast or be part of the<br />
backstage support, please get in touch. Call Val Durling at<br />
437-2861 or Melanie Lewis at 437-9088.
