Fundraiser donations add up to large check for CentraState

On behalf of the Millstone Township Hospital Auxiliary, I want to take this opportunity to thank the community for their continued support of our organization throughout our 41 years of existence. Through your generosity during the year of 2006, we were able to present a check to CentraState Medical Center in the amount of $12,374.29.

Some of our major fundraisers, which you continually support, include the selling of poinsettias, the upcoming spring holiday flower sale (to be held on March 29 in the lobby of CentraState), our Easter candy sale with candy made by Old Monmouth Peanut Brittle Co., and the ongoing cancer awareness bracelet sale. Additionally, we participate in Millstone Day, hold an annual Harvest Dance and solicit donations via our annual spring Apron Project mailing.

Throughout the course of the year we hold specialized sales from local vendors, most of which occur at CentraState Hospital. We also offer Donor Cards, whereby a donation can be made to CentraState on behalf of a loved one, whether to commemorate a birth, an anniversary, birthday, or as a memorial.

Our meetings are held at the Millstone Township Municipal Building in Perrineville on the first Thursday of the month at 7:30 p.m. New members, or visitors, are always welcome. Our next meeting is on April 12. Please stop by; we'd love to meet you. Refreshments will be served.

We truly appreciate the generosity of our community and would like to again acknowledge and thank the Millstone Elks Lodge No. 2613 for their undying support.
