This annual event is one of our primary fundraising activities and this year will include an Ad Journal! You can assist in our fundraising endeavor by: purchasing a ticket, an ad in our journal or making a donation- appropriate forms are included with this letter.
Barbara Murray, Esq., Camp Marcella Legal Advisor/ Trustee, will be the recipient of the Nathan Rogoff Award. This award is presented to a New Jersey Camp for Blind Children, Inc. Trustee or Advisory Board Member for their continuous and dedicated support to Camp Marcella!
The members of the West New York Leones Cubanos de Hudson will also being honored for their ongoing support and dedication to Camp Marcella. They will be recipients of the Walter Margetts Award presented to volunteers, not Trustees or Advisory Board Members of New Jersey Camp for Blind Children, Inc.
NJCFBCI is totally managed by an all-volunteer Board of Trustees, with 100% of all proceeds from our activities being used for improvements to and maintenance of the camp. With a rise in the cost of maintaining our facility and grounds and a decrease in donations, any support given is greatly appreciated not only by our Trustees and Advisors but most-importantly by the blind and visually impaired children who attend Camp Marcella each summer!
Looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday, June 4th! WE thank you for your support! For additional information please contact: Paula Tarantino Maione, Pig Roast Chair: 201-709-4944 or email: ptarantino@campmarcella.org.
Sincerely,
