I wanted to send along the article pasted below that was part of the recent DuCAP email newsletter. We were so happy that this fundraiser went so well for our local Community Resource Center.

DuCAP Chosen as Benefactor of Fundraiser
In celebration of the Village of Hanover Park's 50th anniversary, DuCAP and the Hanover Park Community Resource Center were chosen as the benefactors of the Village's first Car Show. A beautiful summer day lead to a very successful fundraiser.

On Saturday, August 17, 2008 from 9:00am until 3:30pm, John Holdeman and many volunteers from Holdeman Ent. Inc. organized a car show at the Hanover Park train station parking lot located at the intersection of Barrington Road and Lake Street.

There were over 150 vehicles present including a variety of old classics to modern day models. As a token of support, past Chairman of the DuCAP Board, Jerry Gordon, displayed his Ford Thunderbird Convertible. Volunteers from the Hanover Park Community Resource Center sold tickets for a 50/50 cash raffle and distributed flyers with information about the Community Center.

Over $3,000 was raised through exhibitor entry fees, and sales from T-shirts and the 50/50 raffle. All proceeds will go toward costs associated with running the Community Center.

We want to send special thanks to the Village of Hanover Park, Hanover Park Mayor Rodney Craig and his wife Sherry, John Holdeman and his volunteers, the Swanson Family and DuCAP staff and volunteers. The Community Center is located at Living Christ Lutheran Church, 1402 Arlington Drive in Hanover Park. It provides various programs such as ESL and computer classes. Hanover Park Community Center is open Saturdays from 10:00am until 1:00pm. Adult Enrichment Classes and Family Nights are scheduled for this Fall.
