Dear Editor:
On Oct. 16, the Town of Secaucus sponsored a “Flea Market” in Buchmuller Park’s ice rink. On behalf of the Secaucus Citizens Animal Care Committee, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of our community who donated the goods we sold that day with all proceeds benefitting the Secaucus Animal Shelter. A huge thank you goes out to former Mayor Paul Amico, Joan Ace, and Brigitte Gritale for their generous donations which raised $246.50 that day for our shelter. Thank you also to committee members Christine Conte, Carol Douglas, Lauren Pirro, and Catherine Yang for working the tables that day and for their dedication to our shelter animals.
Our committee members are currently working on a gala event to benefit the shelter “Dancing with the Stars – Secaucus” which will take place Friday, Nov. 12, at La Reggia Restaurant. A troupe of World Class ballroom dancers from NYC have generously donated their time for the evening , and will not only perform for us but will offer a mini dance lesson to everyone attending. Tickets for this fundraiser are $40 and include a dinner buffet. A cash bar and raffle prizes will also be available. For ticket information, please call Connie (201) 463-7179 or Susan (201) 563-2161.
