LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, July 10

Cottage Club’s open dates
To the editor:
   
In all of the discussion about the Cottage Club’s tax exemption, I have seen no mention of exactly when the club is open to the public. I therefore called the club’s business office, and was informed that it will be open on July 13 and August 17, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
   I hope you will all join me there.

Big success for bike race
To the editor:
   
On behalf of the adolescents, young adults, and families we serve at our agency, we would like to acknowledge the hard work and broad community support that resulted in the very successful 2nd Annual Corner House Grand Prix bike race on Saturday June 23rd. Two-hundred-fifty bike racers came out to contest a challenging 2.5 mile circuit in the Mt. Lucas neighborhood. The morning races were followed by a number of children’ races for aspiring cyclists ages six through fourteen. The event, hosted by the law firm Mason, Griffin & Pierson, PC, raised close to $10,000 for much-needed accessible, and affordable substance abuse prevention and treatment services for students and families in the greater Princeton area.
   In addition to our Title Sponsor Mason, Griffin & Pierson, PC, our Peleton Sponsors were Kim Pimley & Family; Stark and Stark; and Van Dessel Sports. Club Sponsors were Andrew Sheldon Architect; Fennelly & Associates; Knapp’s Cyclery; Lucy’s Ravioli Kitchen & Market; Momentum Fitness; N.C. Jefferson Plumbing, Heating & A/C; Panera Bread; Pinnacle Therapy Services; Pinneo Construction; and Princeton Orthopedic Associates. Event sponsors were Lou Damelio; Hamilton Jewelers; Jack Morrison Group; Howard Kaufman; The Lerner Family; On-Call International; and Paul Papier Photography. In Kind Donations were provided by Ace Hardware; Bagel Barn; Bent Spoon; Fast Signs; Kopps Cycle; Larabar; LIV Natural; Nick Hilton Studio; Pizza Star; Princeton Fitness & Wellness Center; Sgt. Tom Murray and the Princeton Township Police Department; Sakura Express; Small World Coffee; Terra Momo; Town Topics; The Yedlin Company; Volvo of Princeton; and Zen Palate.
   Funds raised help provide essential services at Corner House Counseling Center, located at 369 Witherspoon Street, Princeton. For over 35 years, Corner House has been giving hope to individuals and families facing a myriad of problems, and helping young people turn the challenges of adolescence into opportunities for growth as they "build toward a future of promise." We thank everyone who attended for their outstanding commitment to young people.
