Shirlee DiBacco Letters for The Rachael Ray Show!
 

 

The Rachael Ray people contacted Shirlee DiBacco (Vice President) to do some calligraphy on the wall of a kitchen they were remodeling for the Home Economics teacher at Frankford High School – Marilyn Greenberg passed her name onto them, and after emailing them some samples of her work, they had Shirlee come on Wednesday April 7, to look at the jobsite, then return on Thursday to actually do the work. (Then went back Mon morning to quickly put names on certificates for 9 students to whom RR donated $5000 scholarships each for culinary school!  This was revealed on the May 3rd Rachael Ray Show (during sweeps).

Shirlee appears on-camera and speaks during one of the segments, and she's so calm and cool you'd think she's on national TV every day. If you missed the show, you can still see it on the Rachael Ray Website. When you visit the site, scroll down to the "For More Information..." links and look for a familiar logo: that's right, there's a link to the PCS website on Rachael Ray's website.

Congratulations, Shirlee, and thanks for representing PCS to the world as a world-class organization.

11 AM - 2 PM
 
Youth Education Chair, Arlene Spector, has arranged for a PCS demo of copperplate at the National Constitution Center on Oct. 14th. PCS members will inscribe bookmarks for visitors on the main floor of this beautiful museum.  While we celebrate our 30th anniversary, our activities will coordinate with the Constitution Center's interest in the writing style in which the Constitution was penned.  This will be another community outreach for PCS to educate the general public about calligraphy.
