A special thank you to Linda Potente and Lisa Snedeker for their assistance during the planning and execution of this endeavor. A great big thank you to the maintenance department at Secaucus High School: Angelo Moniello for letting us in to see the area, Tom Eckert for helping to bring in our supplies, George McCarthy, and John Pesci for setting up and cleaning up, and Ed Sinisi for his patience and assistance during the whole process. Also, thanks to the students who helped us.
To those who didn’t get there this year, you missed receiving a lot of information, free give-aways, free raffles, free food, and free medical exams. Hope you will join us next year.
