To the Editor: On Oct. 2, Saint Andrew’s Church held its quarterly Family Night. What a huge success! The adult dinner was wonderful. It was good just to socialize and sit with the family. It was great to see the young people shouting to the D.J. to hear more songs. No one wanted to go …
To the Editor: Recently, the Soup Kitchen at Our Lady of the Assumption Church had a problem with getting their equipment into the building.

Many adults, senior citizens, and youngsters who do not drive need a safe and convenient way to go to the Frank Movie Theaters, restaurants and stores in that area.

To the Editor: I received Congressman Albio Sires’ electronic newsletter this past Wednesday (Sept. 23, 2009). In it, there was a link to/and about the swine flu, which listed where one might get vaccinated against the flu. Here’s a breakdown (from the New Jersey Health and Senior Services Web site) of where one might get …
To the Editor: We just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of those who attended The Joseph Lillo Spinal Muscular Atrophy Foundation for Children’s first annual Pasta Night on Saturday, Sept. 26, at Robbin’s Reef in Bayonne.

To the Editor: I would kindly like to ask you to please withhold our names from the article since my family and I have already received an extensive thank you from Mr. Tom Bragen for the deed we carried out, just by the letter he wrote to you, found in the “Bayonne Community News” on …
