 Great Social Causes I have been committed to supporting great causes for over 30 years, including:
-- Wayne Baruch A Tribute to My Father-in-Law and Our Other Brave Men & Women in Uniform In June of 2009, my father-in-law passed away. As a captain and a pharmacist in the U.S. Army, he served in Europe during WWII, and continued his dedication to our veterans in the VA Medical Center System after being honorably discharged. In his honor, I made a case for his flag and another for his medals and insignias.
However you may feel about our military or its involvement in World affairs, the members of our armed forces do their best to accomplish their mission, usually under difficult circumstances, based on orders from our elected officials. As I have done here, they deserve our honor and support. Rest well, Dad. Helping to Rebuild Along the Gulf Coast In 2005, Hurricane Katrina first came ashore in Bay St. Louis, MS. Lives have still not returned to normal. During
the week of November 10, 2008, BucksMont
Katrina Relief, in conjunction with CityTeam (cityteam.org),
sponsored The Hillsborough- based Artisans Group and other four member companies
of the Central NJ Chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry
(cjnari.org), plus eight companies from BucksMont (PA) and Chicago NARI for a
week of rebuilding homes and a community food center from Bay St. Louis to
Carriere, MS. In April of 2009, we have been honored with the Bucks County
(PA) Chamber of Commerce's 2009 Humanitarian Award.
Benefit for Raritan Valley Habitat for Humanity The Raritan Valley Chapter's 3rd annual dinner was held on Saturday, April 26, 2008 at Dolce, in Basking Ridge. The evening included a cocktail hour, dinner, live and silent auctions, and a performance by renowned Flamenco dance troupe, Danzas Espanolas. The Artisans Group and Royce Brook Golf Club donated a round of golf and lunch for four as a silent auction item that drew $450 to benefit this wonderful cause.
Benefit for The American Cancer Society

County Business Partnership 360
Grove Street Bridgewater,
NJ 08807 HOPE
STARTS WITH YOU! On
behalf of the American Cancer Society, breast cancer patients and their families
throughout Northwest New Jersey, thank you for the wonderful support you and
Mary’s Somerset Business Striders gave to the 11th annual Making
Strides Against Breast Cancer event on Sunday, October 21. Your
incredible team effort raised $1,735 toward defeating breast cancer. Not to
mention the generous sponsorship of the Refreshment Tent by Ed Seliga and
Advanced Solar Products, which adds another $1,000 to the effort generated by
the Partnership. The
beautiful weather together with the participation and enthusiasm of over 7,500
walkers made the day inspiring and fun and enabled us to raise $750,000
for breast cancer research, education, advocacy, and patient services. Hundreds
of survivors were recognized and many loved ones were remembered throughout the
day with personal messages on signs and shirts at the walk.
We hope Mary enjoyed the day and felt the caring commitment from her
friends and colleagues.
Our Division, which is comprised of the states of New Jersey and New York,
raised over $17 million through the efforts of 223,423 participants.
We
could not have done it without you! Thanks
to you, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer was a huge success. Together we
will continue to make positive steps in the fight against breast cancer.
We look forward to seeing
you and your team again at Making Strides Against Breast Cancer on Sunday,
October 19, 2008 in Parsippany!
Thank you again for your caring generosity! Sincerely, Carol
