To the Editor:

VolunteerConnect honored Marge Smith, The Boys & Girls Club of Mercer County and Hill Wallack, LLP for their dedication to volunteerism in greater Mercer County. The three recipients were recognized at a cocktail reception, The Nature of Volunteering, Wednesday, October 1 at the D&R Greenway Land Trust in Princeton. It is with great appreciation that I would like to thank the award winners for allowing VolunteerConnect to publicly recognize their efforts. The winners also received a State Joint Resolution by Senator [Shirley] Turner, Assemblyman [Reed] Gusciora and Assemblywoman [Bonnie] Watson Coleman acknowledging their efforts in support of volunteerism in New Jersey.
