Zaluski's "Ballplayer" Sculpture

I said this sculpture was on display at the recreation center.  It isn't.  For the moment, Chuck Ross has left it at my house until the pedestal slab is poured.  The first question to be answered is where this piece will be, either temporarily or permanently, and that will be where the pedestal will be poured.  To remind you, Jared Susi has very generously offered to take care of erecting the pedestal.  We are all welcome to attend the meeting to answer the "where" question, and that meeting will occur on Tuesday, January 28, at 6:30 at the recreation center.  Please do come, either because you have an opinion, or just because you're curious.

In the meantime, the fund-raising has begun with two opening donations totaling $250.  We are all welcome to contribute now, or we can wait to see the sculpture on display, and maybe feel even more inspired.  The goal, you recall, is to reach about $5500 in donations, and Chuck says he will supply the last $500.  If we go over $5500, we can either lessen Chuck's burden, which would be good of us, and/or Chuck might decide to make partial reimbursements to the higher donors, so no one has to donate an inordinate share. 

See you on the 28th.  You don't have to wait until then to contribute, or you can bring your contribution to the meeting.  Alternatively, you can wait to see the sculpture in all its grandeur, and see how you feel.  Your contribution should be by check made out to the Village of Biscayne Park, and memo it "Zaluski" or "Ballplayer Sculpture."  Maria Camara or Wendy Hernandez at Village Hall will take it.  This post is entitled "Zaluski's" sculpture.  It's no longer Zaluski's.  It's now Chuck Ross'.  Let's make it the Village's, and all of ours.
