PARSIPPANY — Recently Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany donated $6,000 to Camp Nejeda.
Presenting the check was Michael Mulhaul, Chairman of the Grand Tasting Committee to Camp Nejeda Executive Director Bill Vierbuchen. Joining Mr. Mulhaul was Joe Canal owner Nikul Patel and Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany President Frank Cahill.
This year wine selection at our annual Grand Tasting Fundraiser was provided by Joe Canal’s Discount Liquor Outlet, 799 Route 46 East. Joe Canal’s is known for sizable selection of discount wine, beer and spirits.
There is a very diverse selection of wines from all parts of the world with descriptions, recommendations and ratings available on display at Joe Canal’s. This is super helpful and takes the intimidation of selecting wine a breeze for any novice.
Grand Tasting Chairman Michael Mulhaul said “We raised over $300,000 in the past twenty one years, in which Kiwanis Club was able to donate to other non-profit organizations, including Camp Nejeda, New Jersey Sharing Network, Lake Drive Program – Mountain Lakes School District, Morristown Memorial Hospital, Eliminate and Autism.
In addition to the Camp Nejeda, Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany Foundation donated $6,000 to NJ Sharing Network.
At Camp Nejeda youth with diabetes are given the opportunity to live, if only for one or two weeks, in a world where having diabetes is the norm and where there is no need to explain blood sugar testing, finger pricks, insulin injections, ketones, ‘lows’ (insulin reactions), boluses or ‘carb’ counting because everyone here already understands.
Camp Nejeda is fully licensed by the New Jersey Department of Health and accredited by the American Camp Association. ACA accredited camps meet up to 300 standards for health, food service, safety, and program quality.
Grand Tasting Chairman Michael Mulhaul said “We are already planning our 22nd Grand Tasting which will be held on October 25, 2018.”
