SUNACRW and RWRG join together to help Clouse Family

SUN Area Council of Republican Women is collecting donations of non-perishable food items, consumable household products and retail gift cards for the Ted and Janelle Clouse family who lost 7 of their children in a devastating farmhouse fire on Wednesday evening in rural Perry County.

In addition SUNACRW is partnering with our sister council, Perry County Republican Women for Responsible Government, to provide meals for the farm and cleanup crews in the next weeks and hold a fundraising event.

Anyone who would like to donate items may contact Carolyn Conner at 570-768-6862 or Irene Harris at 570-374-0876.

Clouse Family Benefits

Clouse Family Fund and events to help the Perry County Family who lost 7 children in a house fire.

Clouse Family Fund:

A fund has been set up to help the family. Contributions can be made to the Clouse Family Fund, care of the Church of the Living Christ of Loysville, P.O. Box 180, Loysville, Pa., 17047.

Chicken barbecue:

There will be a chicken barbecue from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. this Saturday at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, only a few hundred yards down the road from the Clouses’ farm.

The supply of chicken is unlimited. There also will be a bake sale of goods donated by local Amish churches. And there will be an opportunity to donate.

I did call the Church to confirm this.

Radio Auction:

BOB 94.9 will be hosting an on-air auction on Monday, March 14th from 5am-7pm, to benefit the Clouse Family, who recently lost 7 of their 8 children when their Perry County home caught fire.

Every hour, a different item will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, with all proceeds benefiting the Clouse Family Fund.

Grand jury to probe 2010 GOP committeemen race

March 10, 2011|By Miriam Hill, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

District Attorney Seth Williams has launched a grand jury investigation into irregularities in last spring’s elections for Republican committeemen.

Curtis Douglas, deputy district attorney in charge of special investigations, confirmed that the investigation, which was first reported last April, was being done by a grand jury.

“I can’t say a whole lot,” Douglas said, when asked for specifics on what the grand jury was considering.

Williams’ interest stemmed from stories last spring in The Inquirer and Daily News that detailed questionable signatures – including one from a dead woman and another from a committeeman candidate who apparently was not a real person – on election documents.
