NJCAR President, Christie Castorino
NJCAR Senior President, Heather Smith
Happy 350th Birthday New Jersey
Christie will write,
collaborate with an illustrator and publish a children’s book to celebrate 350
years of New Jersey through the eyes of “Haddy” the New Jersey State Dinosaur
to make history fun, share pivotal moments before New Jersey became a state and
after and to promote NJCAR through literacy. This will “…promote the love of
the United States of America and its heritage among young people”, promote the
celebration of patriotic anniversaries, and teach knowledge of American
history.
Christie will raise
money to self publish a book titled “Happy Birthday New Jersey” featuring
pivotal events from the land grant to Lord Bergen and Carteret, General
Washington and the Crossroads of the American Revolution, Thomas Edison, Alice
Paul and more! Each society will receive a copy of the book to donate to a
library in their town. Voices will be sold for a Thomas Kinkaide painting
“Silent Night” or a $100 Republic Bank Mastercard to use anytime, anywhere.
