PAJWC is Tooting their own Horn

Our annual May "Plant Sale" has raised over $1,600.00 this year. This money is given back to local charities in our community. I'm not sure everyone knows what goes into this event. Gasko's Nurseries generously sell us, at a discount, their wonderful plants. This enables us to sell to our "customers" at a very reasonable price. One of our members takes on the task of organizing all the paperwork. Each PAJWC member sells to friends, family, co-workers. After all the orders are put in, our members then go to Gasko's and picks up the plants. We then deliver them to our "customers". Our customers get beautiful plants delivered to their door at a great price and for a good cause! So, we would like to thank not only Gasko's Nursery but the generous people in our community who buys our plants and to our members who participated in this event.

Another annual event is our Backpack Drive. One of our members, Marie Levine, organizes this event every year. She coordinates with Homefront to get just what each child needs. This year, we not only got 25 backpacks filled with supplies, but an outfit for their first day of school. We also were able to give school supplies to the Plainsboro Food Pantry. Again, we would like to thank all the generous people in this community for making this "Drive" a huge success.
