NEW JERSEY STATE COUNCIL COLUMBIETTES
62nd Annual State Convention
​June 22-24, 2018

Our Sixty-Second Annual Convention will be held on June 22-24, 2018 at the Embassy Suites-Piscataway/Somerset. The convention is the perfect time for Sister Columbiettes to unite in celebrating the realizations of our many successes. Our Committee hopes you will be able to join us.

​Click here for reservation packet.

CAN TABS

Please continue to save can tabs.  They will be collected at each meeting and brought to Past President Pat Keegan's house to be stored for convention.   We did an excellent job last year and want to do better for the 2018 convention in June.  Remember that these tabs are given to the Ronald McDonald House Program to help support accommodations for family members whose children are in the hospital.   A Ronald McDonald House is that “home-away-from-home” for families so they can stay close by their hospitalized child at little or no cost.

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR DONATIONS!
