Frank Vernacchio Fund Raiser Meeting
Straube asked me to post this email from Jim Hazelton about a fundraiser for Frank.
By now I'm sure you all have heard the unfortunate news that our dearest friend Frank Vernacchio suffered a heart attack last week and subsequently had to undergo major open heart surgery. Obviously he will be looking at a long recovery which will most certainly create some significant financial hardships for him. With that being said, we have scheduled a Beef n Beer Fundraiser for him on Saturday Night April 5th, 2008 at the St. Kevin's Hall in Springfield Pa.
I'm asking everybody receiving this email to be a part of the organization committee for "FRIENDS OF FRANK" (FOF) to assist with this major event. You folks are the best there is when it comes to these type of things. I have had the privilege of being close friends with most of you for over a decade and one of the biggest things we have in common is Frank is our great friend.
Of course we will need the help of others but I'm asking you guys to be the core group to assist with preparation, ticket sales, raffle items and other jobs
that are needed to complete this event. There is no doubt Frank has thousands
of friends but to maintain organization and get this event moving I felt you guys should be the core group. Once we meet, then we can reach out to others as needed but the important thing is everything filters into our committee to keep track of things and stay organized.
I would like to have a private meeting with all of you so I can tell you what we have accomplished so far and have you share your ideas and resourses so we can raise as much money as possible for Frank and his family.
I would like to have the first meeting on Tuesday 2/19/08 7pm at Ice Works. I know this may be a conflict for some of you but right now time is of the essance and we have to get the ball rolling.
Just FYI, this is what we have accomplished so far ( most are very low cost and donations):
Location St. Kevin's ( Mike Meile arranged the biggest hall in the county that holds 500+ in a central location and provided insurance) Food ( Lou Tiernan) Music ( Frank, Eagles Sound Production) Tickets & Posters ( Collingdale Press) Trust Fund account ( Sharon Bank )
This is what we still need to focus on:
People to reach out to all teams for ticket sales Raffle Items Promotions Beverages ( Keg Donations, Soda) Paper Goods Snacks
If for some reason you cannot participate, please let me know asap and we will understand.
Please rsvp and let me know you recieved the email and if you can attend..
Again, please keep this quiet because we don't want Frank or his family to know until we get things moving.
Thanks,
Jim Hazelton

This e-mail was sent to a goup that will organize the benefit. Take notice of the date it would be nice if you cant make it to kick something in the hat at our skates leading up to the Fundraiser. I'm going to hold our collection from last night and each week and get Frank the cash. I was going to send him flowers but after talking to most of the guys we agreed cash would be best.
Thanks Dan
Capt'n Dan,
If you see these guys, tell them I will be donating a basket (with stuff)for the beef N beer...
Sounds like a great night to party. Too far away to see if can attend, but I intend too...
Kilgore...
Bob, is that really you?
Bob has a little captain in him. Stand up Collingdale guy.
Wheres the effin game summary Dickpack!
Game Summary....
Real men and hockey players showed up and had a great skate. All the women and wussies stayed home.
Great skate had by all. If you were there you know the out come if you weren't you are a women and don't need to know about this Men's League!
I thought that maybe we could leave Frank's notice up for a few days. As far as the game, the white won, Crabby, The Commish, Craskey ,Tree , Carl, Carl jr., & Brian's buddy played great. The dark squad got no goaltending, had you bums been there you would have seen it for yourself. You could not have been much worse on the ice on the street than you are on the ice at the rink. The beer was excellent, & we left the Carona's for all you women that did not show up.
The Game Difference Maker of the Week....
The Younger Unger!
