Central IMMDAVTS 521-450 1001 FimiigtM Iti, WJL mm WEST HARTFORD "Hear Ye! Hear Ye!" was how the invitation read. It was apropos of the Revolutionary War-era theme of the party, but it also was prophetic about the amount of party gossip guests would hear in tne afternoon. The event was the 19th annual fall party given by WRCH-FM and WRCQ-AM Wednesday on the radio stations' Fannington grounds. It was the Advertising Club of Greater Hartford's bekoff for the fall season. The theme of the "Yankee Doodle Party" was celebration of the bicentennial of the Ui.

Constitution, and you definitely needed to have a strong constitution for it The party, attended by several hundred guests, started with cocktails at 11:30 a.m., followed by a hearty meal of Yankee pot roast, punctuated by rounds 01 musket lire from soldiers in Revolutionary dress, and lively tunes from filers and drummers. Rapid-fire conversation was sus pended only once when a cannon ball was fired and the deafening roar nearly sent guests running for cover. But Uiis is the Ad Club, after all, and it's not supposed to be subtle. Everybody looking for a lob here," said Lois Sabatino, manager of community relations at United Technologies Corp. "People always wheel and deal at this." The biggest career move guests were abuzz about was that of Donna Collins, outgoing Ad Club president, who is leaving her job as director of sales projects at WFSB-TV, Channel 3, to become director of program marketing for Connecticut Public Broadcasting.

"If ever there was a marriage made in heaven, that's it," said Leo Barriean, account executive for WTNH-TV, Channel 8, one of several people applauding Collins' move. "They CPTV need a business person instead of an artsy person." Phyllis Bancroft is another person making a career move. She's leaving her job as broadcast coordinator at G. Fox Co. to become broadcast director for Tri-Media Advertising and Promotion in Newington.

"This is a transient business," said Bancroft, who used to work for WV1T-TV, Channel 30. Damon Herring, account executive for WHYN-AM and WHFM-FM in Springfield, described himself as "in the middle of interviewing" for a new job, and found the Ad Club party a good place to shop. "I picked up four interviews in an hour," he said. "Half were in TV, half were in radio." Jo-An Anderson, who had been director of media for Bateson Beman Saelens in New Haven, is forming her own agency, called the Anderson Group, specializing in media planning and special events. Known for her celebrity contacts, Anderson is the type of person who has stopped conversations by dropping comments like, "Engelbert HampenUiKk bought me this dress." One of her clients will be her old agency, which recently merged with Selwyn Associates to become Sel-wyn Saelens Associates in West Bushnell Memorial Hall and entertainer Bobby Vinton were the only other clients she divulged.

Anderson was sitting with John Pastor, director of media at Maher Advertising, with whom she had worked when she was at Maher. She described him as "my Svengali, the demagogue of media." Interpreting that as a compliment, he returned the favor by proclaiming Anderson "the best in the business." That's the way it goes with ad folks lots of mutual admiration expressed in copy tag lines. Harriet Dobin, who recently left her job as director of communications at WVU to start her own communications and broadcast promotion agency, surprised some by handing out business cards for another new business, called "The Lapis Collection." She is selling lapis lazuli jewelry which she buys from Chile, her husband's native country. "My other business cards aren't ready yet," she explained. Erwin "Win" Needles, senior account executive at WTIC-AM, was celebrating a career move he made 10 years ago.

"I was fired from this station 10 years ago today," she said. "It's the best thing that ever happened to me." Needles had been general sales manager at WRCH, and was fired when he was 60 years old during a management change at the station. Last year he sold $1.8 million of broadcast time at WTIC, and says he's "going for $2 million this year." Actually, it was the host of the party, Enzo DeDominicis, president of WRCH and WRCQ, who made the biggest move of the day. He and wife, Franca, left the party at 2 p.m. to fly to Pescara, Italy, for a family wedding.

DeDominicis reminisced about his wedding, which was less traditional. As a young man in Italy, he eloped with his wife after she jumped from her bedroom window onto his bicycle. For all the news that was talked about, Bill O'Neal, president of O'Neal Prelle was most struck by what was not being discussed. "The big story here is that businesses are going out of state for agencies and all these people better wake up," he said. "Banks here have said there's no one good enough to handle their work, and I don't know why people aren't more agitated." O'Neal thinks that five years ago the Hartford area "did not have the talent to handle a national account, but it not true anymore.

"We opened our wallets to get people to come here from New York," O'Neal said, and pointed to his creative director Bill Quirk, whom they lured two years ago from his job as associate creative director at the New York agency, J. Walter Thompson. "No offense, Bill, but it's cost us a lot," O'Neal said, conceding that he considers Quirk to be "probably the highest-paid creative director" in the Hartford area. O'Neal Prelle is about to launch a televsion ad campaign to "promote ourselves and Connecticut" O'Neal turned to Brian Ma gee, who once was his partner and now is vice pres lr fbir Some familiar faces are showing up in puzzling places. People who open boxes of "be-' PUZZLED," a mystery game involving jigsaw puzzles produced by the young West Hartford company, -Lombard Marketing, may be surprised to see who are posing as suspects.

"Did this happy-go-lucky exterior cloak a sinister and dangerous character?" reads the copy next to the photograph of Martin J. Moran who is dressed in a Scots cap and the suggestion of a Tartan plaid kilt In real life Moran is senior vice president of human resources at Heublein Inc. Moran and his wife, Joanne, were drafted for the modeling assignments by their son John, who works at Lombard in marketing and sales. Another Scotsman in the puzzle called "The Emerald Spy" is portrayed by State Sen. Kevin Sullivan of West Hartford, who agreed to pose as the character, but as a lawmaker asked that he not play the part of the criminal.

Tim Gaillard of Gaillard Wade advertising in Glastonbury was a natural choice to pose as the James Bond-like character, according to Donna Donovan, advertising consultant to Lombard, because he was the only man she knew who owns three tuxedo jackets. Others whose pictures show up in the puzzle boxes are George Dagon an attorney with Murtha Cullina Richter Pinney, and his wife, Trisha Beatty, and Norman Gerber, director of corporate training at Ames Department Stores. Even friends will have difficulty recognizing Therese M. Frey, branch manager of the Hartford branch of TSG Technical Services, because she poses with a mudpack on her face in the game called, "Death By Diet" Next to her picture it says, "Could her low-calorie diet have driven her to kill for a piece of cheesecake?" Maribeth Sheehan of West Hartford got "discovered" for her modeling assignment as a murder suspect in an unlikely place St Peter Claver Church, West Hartford, where she was attending mass. Mary Ann Lombard, who with husband, Bob, started the company, spotted Sheehan and immediately thought she was perfect for the part of glamorous art maven, Hermione Winston, in the game "Murder Most Artful" The puzzle games are into their third printing this one will run around 75,000 copies and are distributed nationally.

The "Death By Diet" game is offered on the back of Total cereal boxes. It is one of the prizes in its "Angela Lansbury -Mystery Sweepstakes," which means publicity on 15 million boxes. The Lombards hope to make a killing. PatricikSeremet is a free-lance writer. affkos corWfnco ores.
