Committee to sponsor
Creative Handwork Mart
BY PAT HOWARTH
The Creative Handwork Mart
scheduled for Sat., Oct. 20 at the
senior center is now sponsored
by a committee of eight long time
participants of this popular ann-
ual event. As the future of the
AARP is uncertain, this long time
successful event to promote
Palacios area talent has been
Mary Sliva
marks 84th
birthday
Mrs. Mary Sliva celebrated her
84th birthday over the weekend
with a reception hosted by Mrs,
Ed Sliva.
Among those attending were
Mrs. Silva s sister, Frances
(Kurcha) Durbin, daughter, Mrs.
Edith Watson and granddaugh-
ter, Gale Kotch. Other relatives
present were Bessie Mae Marek,
Mrs. Vicki House, John Sliva,
Elija Sliva and Tony Sliva.
qualified to stand on its own for
several years.
Pat Howarth was appointed
chairman of the committee and
reservations can be made by
calling her at 972-2014. As this
event is five weeks earlier than
the former first Saturday in
December date, early publicity is
to get people working and
thinking about the Oct. 20 date so
as to be ready. The committee is
urging new people to participate
so that their talent can be made
known to others. Many have
gotten known through the Crea-
tive Handwork Mart over the
years to their benefit. If you have
a special craft talent, please
reserve a table or space for $3 per
person.
There will be a bake table
again this year, but will be
sponsored by the Creative Hand-
work Mart Committee for the
benefit of the memorial fund for
John Howarth at the senior
center which has been designat-
ed for a building improvement.
John originated the bake table
under the AARP which in the
beginning benetitted the Palacios
Medical Foundation’s Heart Mo-
nitor Drive. The last few years,
the benefit has gone to the senior
center. John worked on this table
from the beginning with the
assistance of AARP people. The
committee felt it would be very
fitting to make the proceeds this
year in his memory.
All participants of the event
bring a baked item as part of the
reservation requirement. The
regulars have done this automa-
tically for years and the new ones
very willingly. A promise of a
baked item and S3 will reserve
space at the Creative Handwork
Mart. Ten tables have already
been taken. There are six left,
but plenty of space for persons
bringing their own table or
reserving the two long window
shelves.
there is no profit to the
Creative Handwork Mart. Fees
collected go to rent, janitor
service and advertising. All
proceeds go to the seller, and
reservations can be made any
time now.
