Morristown

H.G. McCully Chapter #12 Morristown Council presented the 1st grade classes at the Academy Street School-Dover, N.J. with a personal I Like Me book for each student on December 8, 2008. The chapter clowns put on a skit on the importance of reading. The Morristown Education Chairperson, Linda Beyer, Chapter President, Dorene DeWitt, Chapter Clowns, Tina Callahan and Becky McDonald were delighted to participate in this project. The students also received a bookmark with their name on it that were made by the Warren Life Pioneer Members. The students were excited about the books, bookmarks and clowns. You could not wipe the smile off their face. The principal of the Academy St. School, Debra Durso was very much appreciative of the gifts from the Morristown Council of the H.G. McCully Chapter #12.

The Warren Life Member Club held it's annual "Animal Shower" at their meeting on March 12, 2009. Two packed carloads of cat & dog food, paper products, bleach, litter, towels, garbage bags, etc. Were delivered to Common Sense For Animal Welfare, a no-kill animal shelter in Warren County, after the meeting.

The Warren Life Member Club took their cue from a memo from Steve Kohn to Dorene DeWitt

and utilized their scheduled Cookie Packing Workshop on December 4th to take the time to write

Christmas cards to soldiers as part of the Red Cross' "Holiday Mail for Heroes" Program. Club

Members wrote short notes and signed 31 Christmas cards that were then forwarded in a single

envelop to the program's address. The Red Cross has partnered with Pitney Bowes to screen,

sort and deliver holiday cards to service men and women in the United States and around the

world before the holiday. Gail McGovern, Red Cross President & CEO said, "This opportunity

is such a great way for the public to personally support the military and say a special thank you

for their service this holiday season", and the Warren Life Member Club couldn't agree more! It

was a fun easy project for all those in attendance.
