SHOW TIME! (Well, almost ... the preparation begins!)

      On Sunday night the Society could finally begin to act on the months of planning (since last December) that have gone into creating the Designers Holiday Show House Fundraiser opening December 1.

      Over a dozen Trustees, volunteers, and staff arrived at the Endicott Mansion at 7 P.M. Sunday, October 27, just moments after the last of the day's (the last of the season) wedding party departed.

      Within minutes, the 15 rooms constituting the Show House were being emptied of furniture, carpets, paintings, books and other artifacts, and carted off to storage so that the talented Designers of the Show House and their crews could start their work at 8 A.M. Monday morning.

      Thanks to those pictured here and also to Volunteer Terry Morris, Trustees Eileen Russell, John Call, Sturgis Papagiotas, and Staffers Cathy Gareri and Laura Cilley for pitching in.
