CANDIDATE'S CHAT & CHEW

To be

RESCHEDULED!

Hey Do You Smell That??!!...

Plainfield you showed up, ate up, M&M’d and cut a rug! Thank you to everyone for coming out – We had a GRAND Ol' Time!

Check out the District’s website over the next few days for the many, many pictures taken by our resident VIP Student Photographer.

Additional THANKS to all our donors known and unknown for the $210 worth of gift cards we raffled off! I am sure the Lucky 8 will enjoy spending their Dunkin Donuts, Walmart, A&P, Visa and Blackberry Restaurant winnings!

I cannot express sufficiently my profound thanks to the HARDEST WORKING COMMITTEE of COMMITTED folks that I have had the pleasure working with over the past 8 months. Community “In” Schools -- You guys ROCK! You charted the vision, implemented the plan, and stayed the course, and if I do say so myself, and I do – you all did an AWESOME job!!!

We’ve set the benchmark for the next generation of planners for 2nd Annual Multicultural Festival!

And as is proper -- I’d like to thank Councilors Mapp, Storch and Williams for coming out and supporting this community event. It was GOOD to see you all there!

Special thanks to the Campbells for their consistent support!!!

And finally...

[And a BIG Shoutout of THANKS to the Students of VIP lead by Mrs. Lesli Price.  They served as our greeters, photographer, servers and go-to folks along-side of members from the Jefferson Leadership Project noted in the posting below.]

Don’t forget: Meet the Candidates Chat & Chew Fundraiser –
TODAY: 4 PM  Cathedral International Church, 207 Park Avenue, Plainfield. (See detail Ad Below)

P.S.:  Would love to get your feedback on what went well, what you would like to see going forward, what didn't work for you. Thanks in advance!
