Dear Brothers and Sisters,
On Saturday, March 27, 2010, we will host the 31st Annual Dinner Dance. At this event, we honor our twenty-five and fifty year members and present the Karl Weinberg Scholarship Awards.
Please join us on this very special evening as we express our gratitude to those who have served our industry and recognize those aspiring for a career of their own.  Due to the generosity of members like you and our friends, this year we are able to award four academic and four random scholarships. If you would like a scholarship application, please contact my office immediately.  The deadline for applications to be returned with all required information is January 29, 2010.
This annual event will be held at Penns Landing Caterers, 1301 South Columbus Boulevard, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The evening will begin with a cocktail reception and butler serviced hot and cold hors d’oeuvres at 6:00 p.m.  Dinner will be served at 7:00 p.m.  You can enjoy an open bar and dancing until 11:00 p.m.  Tickets are one hundred twenty-five dollars ($125.00) each.  They may be obtained from my office either in person or by mail.

In conjunction with the Dinner Dance, we are publishing a commemorative booklet as a lasting memento.  Your continued support by taking the enclosed booster will help ensure a successful event.  The booster prices are five, ten and twenty-five dollars or greater.  Please print your name clearly, exactly as you would like it to appear in the commemorative booklet. 

All proceeds from the Dinner Dance go to the Scholarship Fund.  Please make checks payable to the “Local 19 Scholarship Fund”.  Return the enclosed booster to: Atten: Scholarship Fund, 1301 South Columbus Boulevard, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19147.  Our scholarships are available to every member, members’ spouses and their dependent children.
