Very nice lady who is studying to become a nurse who was very moved by the support.
Before we left, Jamie learned that the Mom and oldest son lost their glasses in the flood and is going to donate a pair of glasses for each of them. Great of her to do that and for her to be on our Fund Raising Committee.
Thanks Jamie. All the best of the Christmas season to you, Matt and yours.

Gerry,
Thank you for the invite to the NJFishing Holiday Party/Fundraiser. It was the first one that I have been to and it was a blast. More importantly, thank you for asking me to be part of the committee to help find a family in need. It was a most rewarding Christmas this year to help that single mom and her children with the generous donations from the sponsors and NJFishing.com members. I wish you, NJFishing.com sponsors and members a healthy, happy year in 2013. (With lots of fish)
Jamie
