Princeton Area Juniorettes are at it Again!

We are so proud of our Princeton Area Juniorettes! So far this year they have done two community service projects.

On Saturday, May 31, 2008, they held a hugely successful food drive for the Plainsboro Food Pantry. Despite the monsoon like weather, the girls stood outside of Superfresh in Plainsboro and collected money and food supplies from very generous and wet residents in the area. On Monday, June 1, 2008 they lugged bag after bag from the parking lot to the 2nd floor food pantry. The girls enthusiastically sorted everything they collected.

Not resting on their laurels, they assisted in the first West Windsor Bike Rodeo in conjunction with the West Windsor Bicycle and Pedestrian Alliance on June 7, 2008. This successful event had the girls explaining proper bike safety to young children. This was such a success that they can't wait to have the Juniorettes back next year.

The girls are also having a backpack drive. The PAJ in conjunction with Homefront are accepting backpacks, backpack supplies and even new sneakers and shoes for Homefront sponsored children. Contact fnklane@aol.com for more information. The drive ends August 1st, so start gathering backpack supplies now!
