We're having a special benefit Saturday, October 14, at the Triangle Motel. Plans started out several weeks ago as a
community gathering. To get better acquainted, several Hispanic families wanted to fix a festive Mexican meal to
thank the volunteers trying to restore and preserve the historic Triangle Motel just across the street. The families
that we'd already met included the volunteers who came and started the tree-trimming.
To make a long story as short as possible, Gustavo Ferrusquilla, 38, one of the tree-trimmers, was brutally beaten
to death three weeks ago at the Club Balloo, leaving behind two teen age boys and their mother. They have no
insurance or Social Security. Pat Kenney, Alan's Vice President and Superintendent, is a member of the family.
He suggested that we make the occasion a Benefit for the family. The plans will still be about the same. A
meal of authentic Mexican recipes will entice the families and volunteers to gather together, enjoying the chance
to make new friends and tasting some of those delicious dishes. We'll start expecting people around 3:00.
It will probably be a come and go day. We hope to have a bit of entertainment that people will enjoy.
