10th Annual Chapter #12 Christmas Party |
||
|
Once again, H. G. McCully Chapter #12 held their annual Christmas Party for Special Children. 75 children, along with their chaperones, were invited to the Brownstone House in Paterson for dinner, dancing, face painting and an afternoon of fun. Party coordinator, Tina Callahan, and her band of elves have been working all year to make the party a huge success. A golf tournament was held in July to help with the expenses. Santa, Mrs. Claus and some elves was the hit of the party. Each child, and some adults, had a chance to sit with Santa and tell him all their wishes for this Christmas. Everyone received a special Christmas stocking and a day full of fun! |

Dear Hackensack-Englewood-Hudson Council Members, Last year, you received a letter advising that the Council had no members in line to assume the leadership positions necessary to continue as an active Council within the McCully Upstate Chapter. We were looking for a few dedicated members to step up and volunteer to become leaders of the Council. A few members did step forward and, while they are to be commended for their efforts for continuing the Council through 2007, there just were not enough volunteers to sustain the Council through 2008. Therefore, at the October 24, 2007 Chapter Executive Board meeting, a motion was made and passed that the Hackensack-Englewood-Hudson Council be disbanded effective January 1, 2008. As a Hackensack-Englewood-Hudson member, you will now be given to opportunity to affiliate with another Council. Your choices are: Essex Morristown Newark Paterson-Passaic-Ridgewood Please complete the following information and return it by December, 15, 2007. Please note that if we do not hear from you, a Council will be assigned. Please Call: Mildred Wilcox Secretary/Membership 973 338-6126 |

The Hackensack-Englewood-Hudson Council and Life Member Club teamed up on June 20 to paint a playground map at he Horace B. Mann School in Bayonne, New Jersey. The painters, led by Life Member Dan Paken, five volunteers from the Council and ten volunteers from the school's PTA spent the day painting and learning some geography. Dan is a former Council, Club, and Chapter President. All of the volunteers had a great time and shared some great fellowship. |

Morristown Council Sends Hug-A-Bears to Iraq |
||
|
Below is a letter from a soldier in Iraq. He has been receiving Hug-A-Bears from the Morristown Council and distributing them to the children of Iraq. Greetings from the desert. I talked to my folks and they gave me your email address. I wanted to find out the name and address from the lady that sent the bears. I know that she wanted a picture of them being handed out but that will not be possible. I have them here with me and the base I'm at doesn't have any troops that make contact with the locals. What I have been doing with them is putting them to good use on medevac flights. My medics hand them out when we pick up Iraqi children that are wounded. It is very sad to have to do it but we help them get the care they need when they are caught in battles. Unfortunately we can't take photos of the bears being given out. When the medics have a child on board they put the bear in their arms if there unconscious so when they wake they have them. If they are conscious they just give it to them. This make them feel a little less scared of us. If you give me her address or your address I can send her a certificate of thanks to recognize her. I have enough bears to hand out and I'm still trying to get with combat units that my deal with the orphanages or come into contact with other kids. I hope she will understand that even though there not getting handed out on the streets the kids that get them from us need them the most. Things are going well here. We just found out that our unit has been extended to 15 months so we will be here till Dec. Hope all is well in NJ. Tom

Once a month, the Paterson-Passaic-Ridgewood Council deliver a "Be My Baby " basket to the St. Joseph's Hospital in Paterson, New Jersey. The basket is filled with all the necessary items for a new born baby. Most of the time there are blankets and hats made by a Life Member. The basket goes to a new mom and family chosen by the hospital staff. |
