About Christmas Day 2008
A big thank you to the many who helped make our 2008 Edition of December 25th Community Service Day such a success.
From Bonnie Singer of the Prospect Heights Care Center who is such a positive person and partner in this effort. She helped set-up and manage all aspects of the afternoon at our host venue (And thanks to Bonnie's staff for a job well done as well).
To Alice Blass and Joy Kurland who sent out the emails from UJA-Federation of Northern New Jersey which brought out so many volunteers. A special thanks to Temple Sholom of River Edge for publicizing the event. Many of the volunteers came from Temple Sholom.
We also welcome our first time volunteers who heard about the day through the Bahai community.Thanks to The Record and NY1 News for covering us.
But most of all and special thanks to the volunteers and the residents at Prospect Heights for making the day work.Our volunteers varied in age, background and skill. They all possessed a willingenss to be of help and connect whereever and however possible. From Ivan's piano playing to the dog therapy. From blackjack to hand message, it was a lot of fun. Thanks to all for volunteering.
And to you residents of Prospect Heights, you were an inspiration to us all. We were happy to share of ourselves with you. But you more than willing partners in this endeavor. Your spirit inspired us as well. We wish you well.
