2007 SANTA VISIT
Greetings to All, and I hope you all had a great holiday season and a start to a good New Year.
I would now like to take this time to thank everyone for another successful year for the
F/F Michael J. Delane fund. We've helped the citizens of Newark with our donations of food to St.Johns and the Sisters of
Charities food kitchens. Help went out to brothers in need. Donations to send packages to our services members in Iraq and Afghanistan. We made our annual Christmas trek to the hospitals and there children's wards and put a lot of smiles one the faces of hundreds of kids who had to spend there holidays at the hospitals, plus many other fine causes such as Breast cancer, and autism.
I would now like to thank the many people who made these events possible. The Day at the Races was another great
success. This would not be possible without the help of so many. The grill staff of Tommy Mellilo and Norm Bellina,
Mike Wells, Tom " 39 and 3/4 and out" McGovern, Damian Emerick. A special thanks to my family for all there help.
and all who helped and attended.
Our Christmas visits would not be possible without the help of the following. A special thanks to Dane Respoli
our yearly Elf and for his help in getting us some great toys donated, Santa Eddie Griffith, Elfs, Pete Spann,
Joe" the naughty Elf " DiMasi, Linda Kossup, YJ Wiess, Al Carluci, Damian Emerick, Mike Gilroy.
None of this could be done without hard work and donations from the following: Jack Doll, John Sandella and the staff at the NFOU, and there great golf tournament, Chuck West and all at the NFU, Steve Ciasullo and all at the
Streets of Fire MC for there donation and a great run this year. As always with these things you sometimes forget
some folks who helped. I thank you all for just another great year. P.S. It looks like Thursday Aug 21 2008 for this years Day At the Races. Steve DeCeuster
