*SPECIAL SURPRISE GUESTS TO BE ANNOUNCED*

The Sedgwick and Cedar building’s critical situation calls for an
immediate response before it’s time runs out. The buildings emanate
sale and most certain destruction will result in a very real loss of a
large piece of our history; and for those to reside within the
building, loss of many family’s homes
