• The Rutherford Democratic Club’s hot dog cart has been a familiar sight for 30 years at the borough’s Labor Day Street Fair, but it won’t be there this year. At the request of council candidates George Fecanin and Jack Boyle, the club will not be competing with local community groups who work hard to raise funds at the fair through the sale of food. Both men know from experience the struggle it is to raise money for worthy local volunteer organizations. “We know it takes a lot of hard work and a lot of volunteers to raise money at the fair and there is a lot of competition. In these tough economic times we just thought it best not to make it any harder,” said Fecanin. According to Boyle, “We’ll be at the Labor Day Street Fair and wish all of the local non-profit community groups the best of luck in their fund-raising efforts.”
• Be a “Day Caller” one day a month. Do you have a phone? We will provide the notebook and pens. Young children? Bad weather? No problem. Work from home in your pajamas. One day a month, call our answering service and pass the requests for rides to other “day callers.” On their day they will refer calls to you for your assigned driver. We can also use volunteer drivers, to be sure the clients get to their necessary appointments. Be a part of an organization that just celebrated its 30th anniversary, seeing to it our Rutherford neighbors get to their doctor appointments. Give back to the community that you chose to live in. Call 201-438-3406 for more information. Ask for Francine Lindenberg or Alice Helble.
• The Republican Club booth at Rutherford’s Labor Day Street Fair will feature Philly pretzels and refreshing drinks for sale. A variety of these popular treats as well as cold lemonade will replace the burger menu of past years at the Park Avenue side of Lincoln Park.
