A special thanks to: Elaine McGrath, Karen Bertucci, Bob Cardaneo, Mike Murphy, Vince from Chartwells and the entire South Brunswick High School staff for being so patient, supportive and accommodating. From the planning, to the setting up, to the breaking down after, you were there for us and we truly appreciate your efforts.
