It was wonderful to see faces/people we'd not seen in too long! Fish led is up to the rest area and Hot Wheels was watching out for me. Rick made arrangements with LEO - we had six (6) Troopers who stopped traffic on 95 for us to have clear sailing; Port Authority took over and also gave us a clear ride.
There are always other volunteers from family, friends, the Synagogue, etc. The Wolfer family provided lots of pizza and beverages. Bags were packed with toiletries, puzzle book, oatmeal, candy, socks, encouraging notes, etc. There will be [b]1,200[/b] servicemen/women receiving a care package.
We're already planning for next year!
