Thematic areas Holy Cross teacher Miss Amy Evans "having a ball" as she volunteers In the wake of the anniversary of “Super Storm Sandy” the local community continued to remember the needs of others outside our borders. The Tawawami Children’s Project conducted a “Yard Sale” this autumn to generate funds towards their school building project in Mwanza, Tanzania. The sale was most successful due to the generosity and assistance of many individuals from the community. Mrs. Frances Raffetto provided her storm ridden vacant home in Sea Bright to store items that had been donated for the sale. Mrs. Frances Rooney provided hotdogs for the volunteers that assisted in transporting items to and from locations. Mrs. Rooney’s son Charlie Rooney transported the truck-loaded items from the storage house to the sale location at the Little Silver Women’s Club in his “C Rooney Produce” truck. In the spirit of family and providing assistance, Mrs. Marisol Rooney provided a bountiful lunch for the volunteers from her deli, Stokers, in Shrewsbury. Area families who were relocating during the summer donated a good percentage of the items sold. The Tawawami Project would like to express their appreciation to the Clarke, Murphy, Clauss, Elliot, and Vacca families for their kindness in providing many beautiful items. In addition, the Project is most appreciative to The Little Silver Boro for permitting them the use of their facility, The Women’s Center. The sale could not go on unless supported by Anthony DeMonaco, who provided the event insurance for the weekend. Most importantly, no fund raising activity is successful unless there are willing volunteers. Once again, the Holy Cross School community of teachers, students, parents, and friends volunteered their time and energy to make the sale most successful.
