100 Years of Service: Shaping Kids, Helping Parents

Continued Support Needed

My wife and I had the pleasure of attending the 100 year anniversary of the Community House last week at the Mayfair Farms.

There they honored members of the community who serve us all well. Congratulations to Renard Barnes, Frank Rubinetti, Ed Coleman and there was a special posthumous honoring of educator Elizabeth Maddalena.

I used to attend the Community House after school as a child, so the event had special meaning to me.

Under the leadership of Paul Cito, the Community House helps many families especially this time of year. Many lower earning families that live along the Main Street corridor and the Heights section need the support of the Community House.

Friends: there is a need to raise monies so that Cito and his staff can provide quality summer camp for our children. As a pastor serving in the Heights I can assure you that the benefit you receive for sowing into our own will be of tremendous value to your soul.
