To the Editor:
On behalf of the Bayonne Housing Authority Homework Assistance Program, I would like to offer a sincere thank you to everyone who donated a toy or made a monetary donation to our annual toy drive. Distributing the toys and seeing the joy they brought to all of the kids’ faces made everyone’s holiday brighter. I would first like to thank Mayor James Davis, the Bayonne City Council members, the Bayonne Housing Authority Board of Commissioners, and Bayonne Housing Authority Executive Director John Mahon for their continued support of the program and its annual toy drive. I would also like to thank the following people and groups for their generous donations to the toy drive: Freeholder Kenneth Kopacz, the Kopacz Family, Café Bello and their patrons, the Bayonne Masonic Lodge, the Shamrock Society of Bayonne, the Senior Class of Bayonne High School, Bayonne Housing Authority Administration and Staff, Bayonne Board of Education Central Administration, and the Bayonne High School Administration and Staff. The time, support, and generosity of everyone listed above are very much appreciated by all of the children who attend the B.H.A. Homework Assistance Program. We wish you and your families a healthy and happy 2016.
