Annual Fundraiser - A great success! Thank you!

The fundraising for the Wafa House on Wednesday April 29th was a great event.

The success is due to the collective work of all board members and fundraising committee.

Also, it would not have been possible without all the contributors and the generous donors. The community’s support is of paramount importance.

From North H
aledon, Mayor Randy George, Chief of Police Robert Brocco and Councilman Mike De Marco honored us with their presence.

From Paterson, Councilman Andre Sayegh and Fahim Abdrabbo from Congressman Pascrell office attended, and they both lightened up the evening.

Bergen County Sheriff Leo McGuire joined us for the evening and
supported our community as usual with his presence.The highlight of the evening was the arrival of Governor John Corzine. He was gracious enough to briefly attend the event even though he was not feeling well.

He promised to help as best he can to have the Wafa house succeed.

The two honorees, Mrs Barbara
Morris Price and Mr. Hany Mawla truly deserve to be honored. They give their time and efforts to the organization and we are truly grateful.


Senator John Girgenti could not attend but sent a Citation to each of our honorees. We thank him and his office for this gesture of support.


Judge Michael Diamond was our key note speaker. He was very clear about all the problems that he sees as a judge and how we can all help eradicate them from our community.
