Benefit Concert
For the Open Cupboard Food Pantry
Will Saulsky, of Boy Scout Troop 199, is working on his Eagle Scout Project by organizing a music festival
to benefit the Open Cupboard Food Pantry in Clinton, NJ. The concert is on Saturday, May 12th
from 4:00–9:00PM, at the Clinton Community Center, on Halstead Street in Clinton.
The musicians performing are all local acts who are highly motivated to improve the community and will perform for no cost.
The price of admission is a bag of food so the food pantry’s shelves can be stocked for the summer. Especially
needed at this time are non-perishables such as canned fruit, pasta sauce, and tuna.
The Open Cupboard Food pantry is an organization dedicated to helping the needy in Hunterdon County.
Donations to the food pantry are slowed down significantly during the summer months because schools, clubs, and organizations
are on vacation. Also, children who receive free or reduced-price lunches at school during the school year are at home.
Performers interested in participating can e-mail Will. If you can’t attend but would like to support the food pantry, you can drop off a donation during the concert
or you can contact Will directly. Also, if you would like to help with the costs of Will’s Eagle Scout Project,
please send a check payable to BSA Troop 199 to:

Memorial Planned Pottersville
Volunteer Fire Fighter Robert Holmes witnessed the attacks on the World Trade Center Towers. His office was just two
blocks away. The tragic events of that day left an indelible impression upon him.
Realizing that steel from the towers, used in memorials was being fast depleted, he wrote to the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey on behalf of our fire company. A reply came from Governor Christie’s office
on March 27th that the request for a piece of steel had been officially accepted.
Robert and PVFC Captain Mark Scheer picked up the steel at the World Trade Center Artifact Center
at JFK Airport.
The Pottersville Volunteer Fire Company
is planning the construction of a September 11th Memorial. The steel will be dedicated
at the Pottersville Firehouse on Friday, May 4th, at 1:00PM.
New Jersey Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno, and Deputy Executive Director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Bill
Baroni will be in attendance for the dedication. Officials from Bedminster and Tewksbury Townships have been invited.
The public is invited and encouraged to attend. Light refreshments will be served by the Pottersville Fire Company’s
Ladies Auxiliary following the ceremony.
