NEWRA Wisely Elects Cheryl Del Greco President
Any successful non-profit community organization has to be made up of dedicated and concerned membership that bans together to take on the many challenges that directly impact the community they proudly represent.
While solid membership is the heart and soul of any community-based group, leadership certainly plays a key role in the success of a community group’s ability to protect the well-being of its residents in all shapes and forms.
The North End/Waterfront Residents’ Association (NEWRA) has recently elected its current leadership that will steer the group in the right direction.
Once again, NEWRA has elected Cheryl Delgreco as President for another two-year term.
Cheryl, over the years, has paved the way for the community to be recognized and become an important influence to determine its own destiny.
Cheryl, clearly understands the pulse of the neighborhood and strives to make sure it has a direct say on any and all issues and concerns that impact the community.
NEWRA made a wise decision electing Cheryl as their leader for another term. She has become an important community leader, that can be dependent on.
Babbitt Chaired Fun-Filled Fall Festival
Chaired by Anne Babbitt, this year’s annual Friends of Christopher Columbus Park (FOCCP) FESTIVAL was the busiest and possibly the best family-fun-filled activity held at the park.
She opened the festival with a parade led through the park by local Girl Scouts, followed with many things to do for the hundreds of children that crowded craft tables all afternoon and enjoyed magic and limbo dancing that brought fun and laughs to the community events.
In addition, happy faces were painted while crafts kept little and big hands busy.
Many more events entertain those who attended FOCCP’s Fall Festival, thanks to the efforts of Babbitt who loved to see so many smiling faces and was pleased to be a part of holding a successful neighborhood event.
