FUNDRAISER
VERO and BETTY FRADY
- FIRE BENEFIT
Just before Christmas, an
arsonist set ablaze two abandoned buildings after a series of drug
dealer occupancies. The fire was
started between the buildings, yet moved to the next house, causing a
fire to the home for over fifty years, of Vero and Betty Frady.
The insurance, for fire only, covered no personal items
(furniture, etc.). It covered only the materials for repair to roof,
ceilings, wall, and such; with a large deductible.
Vero may be remembered by many as the “Leprechaun” at the
Gaelic League / Irish American Club, greeting visitors Parade Day and
St. Patrick’s Day, over a dozen years.
Please join us for what is hoped to be a fun event and one
that will aid the Fradys.
