As host and coordinator of Lambertville’s Community Wellness Day held May 18, I am writing to thank all the sponsors, participants, volunteers, silent donors and guests of our lively and successful event. The contributions made will allow us to present a donation in the amount of $5,500 to our designated charity, Fisherman’s Mark. A highlight of the day was the presentation of The Community Champion Award to B.J. Petty, retired executive director of Fisherman’s Mark, in recognition of her 32 years of service and commitment to Fisherman’s Mark.
