Letter from PAD President – May 2008

President Cheryl Noschese’s Message:

Is it summer yet? PAD sure hopes so. Please stop by at our clubhouse to see newly basement wood cabients for our Senior Citizen and also for Pittsburgh Chapter of PSAD. Those wood cabinets have nice features and meet their needs.

Our biggest fundraising event is August 8th 2008 at Mt. Washington Manse, an award-winning dream house with a beautiful sweeping views of our downtown Pittsburgh skyline. It is 10,500 square feet of jaw-dropping Modernist architecture, complete with an elevator, an infinity pool, eight bathrooms, a fitness center, a disco with professional equipments and temperature controlled wine cellar for storing up to 1,800 bottles. The owners of this dream house are Peter Karlovich and Steven Herforth. They use their dream house to host fundraisers on regular basis, opening up their home to local political such as Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and even national figures as former Vermont governor turned National Democratic Committee chairman Howard Dean and Senator John Kerry, 2004 presidential candidate. PAD/GPCCD offers two kinds of the ticket prices for this special event.

$250 VIP reception and $100 General Admission including with refreshment, Silent Auction and Horse Derby races. It can be used as your tax deductible as recognized by IRS 501 (c)3.

This fundraising event will help our clubhouse to meet their needs of deaf communities in Western Pennsylvania.  By installing new flooring, an ADA-compliant elevator/restroom, new roofing coating, and some furniture, our clubhouse can now offer the ideal environment for our members and new future members.  I hope your involvement and your contribute allow our clubhouse to continue our vital activities.

Join us for a night at races at the scenic dream home on Mt. Washington’s own Smart House!
