Dear Editor:
On behalf of Margaret “Rovito” Hernandez and her family, we would like to thank everyone who helped make last week’s fund-raiser a huge success. Due to the outpouring support by the entire community, Weehawken has once again proven itself to be the type of community to come together when one of its own is in need.
Our family would like to extend, our deepest sense of gratitude to Mayor Richard Turner and the Township Council for making this event possible. We would also like to thank Kate McMahon and Donna Daly of Weehawken Recreation, Bobby Barsa and the Parks Department, Jimmy Dalton and Parks Security, the Weehawken Elks Lodge and the Finish This Band. In addition, we would like to thank the local businesses such as East L.A., Sparrow Wine and Liquor, Masina Restaurant, Ruth Chris Steakhouse, Hi-Tech Billiards, Houlihan’s Restaurant, the Chart House Restaurant and the Budweiser Company.
Additionally, we would like to thank all of the participants of the events and those who could not attend but still managed to contribute. Last but not least, to all of our friends who so tirelessly volunteered their time and efforts in helping to make the event successful.
Once again we would like to thank everyone for their kindness, well wishes and prayers and for showing Margaret that she is not alone in her battle against cancer.
Very sincerely yours,
The Rovito Family
