1994 American Catholic Press Benefit

In 1993, the American Catholic Press Board of Directors evaluates our benefits and celebrations in the preceding years.  While these events were valuable and successful in many ways, they did not generate much support for our ministry.  Consequently, John Havey, one of the directors, now organizes a committee that also includes his friends, Sean Hayes and Ed Walsh. With the approval of the Board, this committee plans a benefit dinner to be held at Surma's Restaurant in Homewood, Illinois.  With a theme of St. Patrick's Day, this dinner is scheduled for March 18, 1994.
