Dolores Farrelly asked us to focus on the Convention in May 2004, and wanted to let us know that positions on the NJSFWC Board of Directors need to be filled everything needs to be filled - talk to JoAnna for more information if you're interested after November 1st (that's when she'll have more information).

On November 4th please go to the polls, there are some important issues that you should voice your opinion on - there are three statewide ballot questions that we are voting on (Preserving the Highlands, Community Park Development, etc.)
