To the Editor:

On behalf of the Board of Trustees and everyone at the Princeton Senior Resource Center we would like to extend our sincere thanks to all those who helped make this year’s Brunch at Home event on April 7 such a resounding success. We met our goal of 300 baskets and had more sponsors than any other year.

First, we’d like to thank the scores of volunteers who make this unique event, now in its fifth year, possible. From the volunteers who arrive as early as 5:30 a.m. to help assemble the baskets to the drivers and their helpers who deliver the baskets by 9 a.m. There’s also our in-house team of volunteers that coordinate the orders and map out the driving routes plus the men and women who work behind the scenes sending out gift cards and soliciting donations from local area establishments.

A particular heads up goes to the Bloomberg organization which encourages employees to participate in volunteer opportunities in the community. This year 18 Bloomberg employees worked Brunch at Home. Employee’s from Bobst Center for Peace and Justice at Princeton University also volunteered to assemble baskets.

We are especially grateful for the support of our sponsors. Our annual sponsors: Acorn Glen, AARP, Princeton Windrows, and Buckingham Place. Brunch sponsors and advertisers: Wells Fargo, Brandywine Senior Living at Princeton and Pennington, Merwick Care & Rehabilitation Center, Drinker Biddle & Reath, LLP, Bear Creek Assisted Living, Avalon Assisted Living-Bridgeway Care & Rehabilitation Centers, LIFE St. Francis, Massage Envy Spa, McCaffrey’s, Dunkin Donuts Princeton, ETS/Chauncey Conference Center, IQuisine, Trader Joe’s, Bill Miller, WWFM, Olives, Memory Care Living, Green Mountain Coffee, Bagel Barn, Dave Saltzman Insurance, Robinson’s Chocolates, Wegman’s, Heidi Joseph-Fox & Roach, Roberts Florals, Alfonso’s Pizza, Main Street, Freedom Home Healthcare, and Dunkin Donuts Montgomery.

Last, but not least, we’d like to thank those who purchased a Brunch at Home basket either for themselves, a friend, or as a gift to someone in the community who otherwise would not be able to participate.
