Picatinny ASMC Family Member in Need...Please help
Sharon Wien has been an ASMC member for 12 years. Her daughter, Karen is battling cancer for the sixth time (Hodgkin's Disease, 2 Mastectomies, and now her third bout of Ovarian cancer). Unfortunately, the traditional Chemo has not stopped re-occurrences of the cancer. She is currently participating in a clinical study/trial at Sloan Kettering in NYC.
One of her sisters is sponsoring a combined Sensaria (natural body products) and Lia Sophia Jewelry party as a benefit for Karen. All proceeds will be donated to Karen to help with medical and travel expenses to and from Sloan Kettering. This includes gas, tolls and parking, which can run from $40-$50 a day.
The date/time of this event is April 17th from 1:00pm-5:00pm in Newton, NJ. Anyone interested in attending, please contact Kelly at 973-300-1576 or kmarks2@embarqmail.com to RSVP and for address/directions.
If you are unable to attend and would like to purchase these products, please go to the following websites: www.liasophia.com/kellymarks or www.sensaria.com/colleenm. To place an order, choose Karen Morgan as the hostess. All parties booked from this event will have a portion of the proceeds donated to Karen as well.
The ASMC Community Service Committee will also be collecting monetary donations for those of you who would like to contribute. The POC's for this event are Charlene Aemisegeo x2093, Bldg 1, 4th Floor, Michele Andersen x7120, Bldg 162, Basement and Donna Catapano x2224, Bldg 151, 1st Floor.

Hemophilia Association of New Jersey
Team Nicholas Says Thanks!
ASMC Community,
Silvana and I would like to thank everyone who helped make this day a little brighter. With the help of ASMC we were able to collect 14 cases of water and almost $250 in cash and checks. The weather held out for us on Sunday and all the participants had a wonderful time. The Hemophilia Association of New Jersey was able to reach and beat their goal of $25,000, with almost 2/3 of the funds coming from Team Nicholas!
Thanks again and God bless,
Ryan and Silvana Salvi
