As part of MannyFest 2, we are collecting donations for two memorial projects. The first project is to rebuild the bench in front of Elting Memorial Library on Main Street in New Paltz, and dedicate it to the memory of Frieda and Manny Lipton. The second project, is to put the rest of the money collected into a scholarship fund for an art major at SUNY New Paltz, or a graduating senior at New Paltz High School.
As of the end of July, 2004, we have raised enough funds for the bench, but do not have enough funds to establish a scholarship. We will continue collecting donations, so if you would like to contribute, make a check out to "Emilio Gironda, as attorney" and print "MannyFest" on the memo line. Send the check to: Jack Murphy, 3 Harrington Street, New Paltz, NY 12561.
