VIRTUAL CHAIR CAMPAIGN As you may recall from the June Newsletter, We received a donation from the Legion Poppy Fund to purchase new chairs for the Café. The chairs we currently have are in rough shape. Many have been welded over and over again. The fabric is dirty and worn. We have tried cleaning the upholstery, but it never lasts long. So we are thrilled to have the donation! The money will cover the cost of purchasing just over half of what we need for chairs in the Café. So, we are having a VIRTUAL CHAIR FUNDRAISER to raise funds to replace the remainder of the chairs in the Café. A donation of $100.00 will go towards purchasing one chair. The chair will be the property of the T.E. Café and your name will be placed on a plaque recognizing your gift. If you would like to purchase a Virtual Chair, please see the front desk. Page 5

ANOTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER We are always happy to hear that we are doing things right. This recently came from one of our customers thanking us for the great service they received. Good job everyone! Hi Lori, Now that everything has settled down for us, I wanted to thank you for all of your assistance and flexibility in assisting with the details for Yvonne's retirement party. Your patience through a couple of meetings and several emails was appreciated. We had 108 people attend and everything was very comfortable. The set up in both the hall and the cafe worked well. The volunteers did a good job of setting out snacks in the hall and then the lunch in the cafe, and getting leftovers ready for us to take home. We were able to enjoy our evening much more knowing we could walk in and walk out, and not have to be concerned about the details. We would certainly recommend the hall and your services to others!
