2. ANNUAL BRUNCH - Nov 21
The Pride Center Annual Awards Brunch
Each year, the Pride Center of New Jersey, hosts an
elegant brunch to honor their most prominent donors
and volunteers.  It’s their way of saying “Thank you”
and recognizing them for all their efforts during the
past year.  The Pride Center wants to acknowledge
their invaluable contributions to the Center in the
form of a celebration.
This year, our annual brunch is to be held at the
beautiful private home of Janet Green in the gorgeous,
rolling hills of Tewksbury, New Jersey.  Come
experience a wonderful afternoon surrounded by the
Pride Center’s most distinguished members of our
community and enjoy a fabulous, scrumptious brunch
catered by Baker’s Treat of Flemington, New Jersey. 
Baker’s Treat donates 100% of their profits to
programs for women in early recovery from alcohol and
drug addiction, so your attendance will be supporting
two great causes at the same time!
A jazz quartet will compliment the afternoon and add
serenity to the event while you gaze through the huge
glass doors, past the enormous deck and inspect the
wooded scenery and in the distance, Princeton, New
Jersey, while sipping your mimosa…
This will not be an event to miss!  The cost is $30
for members, $40.00 for non-members.  Please make your
check payable and mail to:
