Holiday Expo 2009 was a success

Dear Editor:

Rushville Victim's Assistance, Inc. would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support of the Holiday Expo held at the Rushville Elementary gyms Nov. 14, 2009. 

We would especially like to thank all of the vendors Tom Owens and the Rushville Elementary School custodial staff; Jane Hallgarth from RES; the Rushville Pharmacy for passing out flyers; all of the elementary schools in the county for sending flyers home with their students; Glenda Smith and Jane, Abbie and Josie Starkey for their invaluable help during the Expo; and all of you who attended and hopefully started your Christmas shopping.

The proceeds will be used to help with the renovation of the Phoenix House shelter at 924 N. Main Street, Rushville. Progress is being made and we will hopefully be able to open the much needed facility in the summer of 2010. 

Thanks again to everyone for making the 2009 Holiday Expo such a success.

Rita Emsweller

Holiday Expo Chair

  • Is Romney still a conservative? TV media doesn't think so

    Dear Editor:
    It's interesting to note that television reporters and talking heads now use the term "conservative" to refer only to those on the extreme far right.

  • RE: Forced "fairness" not government's role

    Dear Editor,
    I again find myself puzzled by Mr. Barada's columns.
    It seems that Mr. Barada believes that that there is an Obama-occupy army waiting around every street corner to kidnap our children and force them into a life of Socialist servitude.

  • What about The Star Spangled Banner?

    Dear Editor,
    When it was recently announced that an Indiana state Senator had introduced a bill calling for rules regulating the performance of our national anthem, some of you may have groaned, "Well, Norm Voiles will certainly weigh in on that one!"

    Dear Editor:
    If Hoosiers wish to break free from the chains of stagnation and lead the
    country on the road to recovery, they should embrace the right-to-work law.
