The Island Park Civic Association would like to thank the community for their overwhelming support for the Love Your Troops benefit dinner; we had 315 people in attendance and unfortunately had to turn some people away.
Well over 300 pounds of goods were donated for the troops at the Soldiers Angels table, Susan Stoger from Soldiers Angels and Heidi Lippachek assisted in collecting the donations.
Island Park’s own hero Navy Petite Officer First Class Larry Balsamo, served two tours in Iraq, with Special Warfare Group Two.
The room was packed, Bridgeview did a beautiful job accommodating the event and many commented on the excellent food and service. Felicia Nicholas, our event planner did a tremendous job coordinating everything from the centerpieces, the DJ, to making sure the evening ran smooth.
Thank you again to the community for your support!
