The group decided on the center of attention theme while discussing possible design styles for cards that the center will use for invitations, publicity, and other uses. “WE'RE TRYING to design one piece that will be used throughout the fund-raising,” said Village Trustee Marilyn Harlan, authority chairman. The cards are being designed by Dora Kutyla of Kutyla Design, who performs publicity work for the vil lage. The authority heard a plan from Ehrsam and Associates, a Chicago based public relations firm for a full fund-raising and public relations push.
