| Lock up & Jail 'em a Big Success! .Wayne County Historical Society “Lock up & Jail em” a success! The Wayne County Historical Society held their new fundraiser on Friday afternoon, the Lock up & Jail ‘em. At 3:00 the cars went out to pick up Wayne County VIP’s from all over the county. At 3:30 the detainees were handed cell phones, donated to the event by Cingular the New AT&T and they started making their calls, each trying to raise $500 for the Museum of Wayne County History. 17 Detainees were at the Museum of Wayne County History calling friends, family and co- workers. 4 detainees were working off-site, and 7 detainees sent in donations weeks before the event even began. The Detainees included Rose Supervisor Lucinda Collier, Meade Maloy Agency’s Steve Felker, Lyons Supervisor James Fabino, Randy Mitchell D.D.S, Wayne County Planner Sharon Lilla, Wayne County Historical Society President Helen Santelli, Lyons National Bank President Bob Schick, Former Business Manager of the Lyons Central School District David Alena, Lyons National Bank Branch Manager Darlene Whitcomb, Owner of Dobbins Painting & Contracting Luke Dobbins, Lyons Hardware’s Joe Snell, Wayne Cooperative Insurance’s Jeffrey W. Rice, WACK’s News Director Rus Jeffrey, Supervisor of Williamson James Hoffman, Wolcott’s Bob’s Big M co-owner Robert Delf, N. Rose Wolcott’s Interim Superintendent Lucinda Miner, and Marion Supervisor Jolene Bender. Off-site Detainees were Carpet Spectrum’s Dawn Dalberth, Porter Law’s John & Kelly Porter, Children’s Continuous Care’s Wanda Arnold and Monroe-Gorman Title’s Michael Gorman. Some Wayne County VIP’s that were invited to be detainees couldn’t participate because of their busy schedules, but sent in donations anyway, like Supervisor of Ontario Joseph Molino, Assemblyman Bob Oaks, Supervisor of Sodus Steve LeRoy, Wayne County Economics Development Coordination’s Peg Churchill, Spinco Metal Products owner Bob Straubling, Silver Hill Associates co-owner James Hamburger, and Newark resident Susie Earl. Museum of Wayne County History’s Executive Director, Larry Ann Evans said that the fundraiser was an enormous success, “Every detainee really working hard to reach their goal of $500 each,” said Evans who went on to say that some detainees didn’t stop when they reached $500. “Steve Felker came early because his son had a game in Rochester and as he totaled up his pledges we were all amazed that he had gotten over $700!” “Some people really wanted to go through the whole “detainee” experience,” said Evans “Jolene Bender, Lucinda Collier and James Hoffman went right to the South Side Jail cells and wouldn’t come out until they were finished raising the pledges!” Some people got all their pledges before they came. “Bob Schick called me and said ‘What happens if I get all my ducks in a row before I get there?’ and I said then you can sit back, relax, get a massage, have a glass of wine and taunt the other detainees. And that’s what he did!” laughed Evans. At first count, Museum Manager Mary Erle said that over $10,000 dollars has been raised, “And that’s not counting what the offsite detainees may have raised,” said Earl. ‘We are all very pleased how this fundraiser went and are planning to do it again next year,” said Evans who went on to say that all the detainees said that they would love to participate again. “It’s for such a good cause,” said Evans, “It helps us all have more pride in the area where we live, knowing that such great people and such incredible things were made right here in Wayne County.” . . |
