LADIES NIGHT OUT
Well, another great event in the books. About 95 people came to enjoy a night of friendship and fun- decked out in PJ's and tiaras. It was a smashing success. Please note the fuzzy bear slippers on Ileen!
Pediatric Brain Cancer seems to take at least one child in Branchburg every 3-5 years. Devastating. We support the efforts of the MRB Foundation to financially support Reasearch and Development for drugs and therapies to fight this scourge.
Our Rotary 50/50 team was HOT on Thursday night- bringing in almost $800.
The next event will be on March 16th - which would be Meghan's 35th Birthday. Plan to eat in or take out from Trattoria Uno's they are donating 10% of their intake that day to the MRB Foundation.

A LOVELY THANK YOU
Remember Christmas - it was months ago. A lovely woman from Whiton Hills in Branchburg has been looking for someone to express a Thank You to for the Christmas Stocking that we provided. We made up 7 Stockings with toiletries, and other goodies and gave it to the superintendent of the apartments who "knows" who needs some help. Well, this woman was so thankful, that it took her this long to find both Julie and Maria and related to them how much it meant to her and to say thank you.
The need exists in our own backyard. You just have to look a little harder in some yards to find it.
SPRING COAT DRIVE
When approached by Maria about "Bunny Bags", Matt Barbosa asked Maria about Coats for Spring. There were about 30 children who needed coats in the winter, so we are figuring about 30 hoodies for the Spring. More to follow as soon as the PTO president responds to Maria.
DIAPER DRIVE
Kathy F. has started a diaper drive for needy families. If you would like to donate or know a family with a child that has outgrown diapers and has open boxes - we will take them all!!
