In Our Community


Thank You!
Once again this years’ AIDS Walk New York (AWNY) was a big success. Over 40,000 people participated and even in the midst of a tough economy raised more than $6 million dollars. Donations can still be made for this cause. Checks should be payable to AWNY and can be given to Nancy or Tony anytime. You can also mail your check to 26 Parsons Ct., Mahwah, NJ 07430. If you would like more information please call them at (201) 934-9366. You can also visit www.aidswalk.net. ~ Nancy Maguire


Emily Jones will again be participating in Mt. Olive’s Relay for Life this year on June 11th and 12th. Relay For Life is the signature fundraiser for the American Cancer Society at which teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relays are an overnight event based on the idea that cancer never sleeps.

Relay For Life encourages people to:

• Celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer.
• Remember loved ones lost to the disease.
• Fight back to put an end to the disease.

If you are interested in donating to this cause, you can make a donation online: (http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RFLFY11EA?px=6457997&pg=personal&fr_id=29457) or you can see Emily in person for a donation form."
