Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
One of the things I love about this town is how we routinely step up to the
\nplate when our neighbors are in need. I am humbled to be the bearer of such
\nnews, and hope to balance the need to respect someone’s privacy along with
\nthe desire to gain support for anybody who needs it. Hence, the following
\ne-mail.<\/p>\n
In 2006, 30-something year old Hanover resident Julie Porzio was diagnosed
\nwith breast cancer. That news alone was devastating. She went through
\ntreatment, and was declared cancer-free within the year. Then, in 2008,
\nJulie received the unfortunate awful news that not only was her cancer back,
\nbut it had metastasized to her liver.<\/p>\n
Julie is the proud mom of 8 year old Cammie and dear wife of Mark. Cammie
\nplays softball for HYAA.a program near and dear to my heart. Julie and Mark
\nbecame ATOTW readers in September of 2008. They were HHS-Yes supporters.
\nThey are our neighbors. I am pleased to tell you that some of Mark and
\nJulie’s friends have gathered their resources and are putting together a
\nfundraiser in honor of Julie next month. Further details will surely
\nfollow.<\/p>\n
For now, mark your calendars for an event called "Friends of Julie" on
\nSaturday, March 27th at 7:00 p.m. at the Harmon Club in Rockland. Your
\nentry ticket donation of $50 per person will automatically enter you in to a
\nraffle for a 7 day cruise to Bermuda. Details regarding how to purchase
\ntickets for the event will be forthcoming; for now, save the date. If you
\ncannot make the event, but still want to support "Friends of Julie", you can
\ninstead purchase a $100 raffle ticket to be entered in a different drawing
\nthat has a Grand Prize of $10,000. Details regarding how to purchase the
\nraffle tickets may be found at www.friendsofjulie.org . There will be
\nadditional auction items; those interested in donating an item can contacted
\none of the organizers (listed in the aforementioned website).<\/p>\n
