Charles welcomed our newest member Lisa Carlson. 

 

Happy Dollars:

Denise and her employee volunteers picked up toys from over fifty schools in Sussex and Warren counties for Project Self Sufficiency's Season of Hope Toy Drive. 

Typically one bus is used per day for three days, but because of the generous donations, three buses were needed on the last day.  A record number of toys were collected, over 9200.

Mike Hanifan was happy to speak with his daughter.

Lisa was glad to become a member of the club.

Charles gave compliments to our newest member Lisa as she will be a stellar member.  He also mentioned the delicious brussel sprout recipe that she shared with him.  His daughter sold her house and found a home in Dorset Farms.  She will be moving in on 1/9/26.
