True Thabo will be hosting its first annual benefit cocktail party to raise money for the installation of a well in a remote Zambian village, providing a lifetime of clean water to the community. The cocktail party will be held on Friday, February 22, 2019, at The Cranford Social from 7 – 10 PM. Tickets include a three-hour open bar, delicious appetizers, tons of giveaways and opportunities to learn more about True Thabo’s work. Tickets are $50 for ages 21+ and $25 for ages under 21. 100% of all proceeds go directly to the installation of a well and community education lessons on the importance of clean drinking water to the Jenga village, a remote community in Eastern Zambia.

This non-profit organization was founded by local Cranford resident, Marissa Frank, a 2014 graduate of Cranford High School. True Thabo is a registered 501(c) 3 non-profit organization that provides clean drinking water programs and sanitation lessons to schools and communities in Eastern Africa s they work toward making clean water a right, not a privilege. All donations are 100% tax deductible. Tickets for the fundraiser may be purchased at https://truethabo.org/cocktail-party/ or email [email protected].

Over 60 million people worldwide have fallen in love with the characters, the story and the music that make Mamma Mia! the ultimate feel-good show! ABBA’s hits tell the hilarious story of a young woman’s search for her birth father. This sunny and funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago.

The Garwood Knights of Columbus welcome friends and our local communities to donate and help save lives in Honor of Michael Sot. We like to thank Michael’s parents and family for allowing us to Honor Michael.

Michael Thomas Sot was a loving, smart, responsible and always caring son, brother, cousin, nephew, grandson and friend to all who knew him! Michael was a 2017 Arthur L. Johnson HS Honors graduate and lifelong Clark resident. At 20 yo he was a college sophomore at The College of New Jersey majoring in Math. He joined the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity. Early December 2, 2018, he was a designated driver for an off-campus frat event when tragedy struck. He, three frat brothers, a sorority sister, and another college student were hit by an alleged impaired driver. Two days later, Michael died. During his hospitalization and the other victims care, they needed multiple life-sustaining blood transfusions. Volunteering your blood could help so many like Michael. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Did you know 1 in 7 people entering the hospital need blood? Only 10% of the eligible population donates blood.
When you donate blood, it doesn’t just help people during disasters. From surgery to fighting cancer to giving birth, blood donations are used to save around 12,000 lives a day. A lot of the medical care we take for granted wouldn’t exist without blood donations.

Blood Drive held at St. Anne’s Garwood. Park in the lot and follow signs to Bethlehem Room.
