Successful "Prison" Seminar with Holohan Raises Funds for the Oil Heat Cares Foundation

The phrase "All work and no play..." was the thought behind the fund raising seminar held on October 17, 2007, to benefit the Oil Heat Cares Foundation. Seminar attendees toured historic Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and then learned some technical tips from the best in steam and hydronics, Dan Holohan, a co-founder of the Foundation. Through cooperation with Crown Boilers, the Foundation raised $5,000.

Eastern State Penitentiary opened in 1829 and was one of the most expensive and most copied buildings in the United States at the time. Some of America's most notorious criminals served their time in this prison including Al Capone. When it was completed in 1836, the prison covered eleven acres, had state-of-the-art plumbing and sewage systems, and four-hundred fifty centrally-heated cells, and was considered an architectural marvel. An interesting fact learned on the tour was that each cell had a flush toilet...amazing since at that time the U.S. President Andrew Jackson was still utilizing an outhouse! Seminar attendees thoroughly enjoyed touring one of Philadelphia's more interesting, and possibly haunted, historic sites.

After the tour seminar attendees enjoyed a wonderful meal at Jack's Firehouse restaurant courtesy of Crown Boilers. Over coffee and dessert attendees then participated in Dan Holohan's seminar "Breaking the Laws of Physics — Don't Do the Crime If You Can't Do the (Service) Time." At the conclusion of the seminar Dan reminded everyone that today's event was truly a cooperative effort. Seminar attendees and corporate sponsor Crown Boilers came together, had a good time, learned some new skills and raised funds to complete at least two more Oilheat projects for those less fortunate.

Oil Heat Cares is a Not-for-Profit Foundation (501C-3) that assists needy persons and organizations with the replacement of their oil heating appliance. NAOHSM has 30 chapters located throughout the Northeast portion of the United States. Oil Heat Cares projects can be initiated by a chapter or by individual members.
