The success of the Mayors’ “Shining Star” Gala, to benefit Better Beginnings, is critical to the continued financial stability of the organization but beyond that it is a fun-filled evening that historically has been enjoyed by those in attendance. Enclosed is a response card that details the various ways in which you can support this fundraising event. Better Beginnings’, longevity can be credited to the support it has received throughout the years from the community and governing bodies. Better Beginnings Child Development Center (BBCDC) was founded by the Hightstown/East Windsor Human Relations Council in 1967. The group was concerned some neighborhood children underachieved in school compared to other local children who had the advantage of attending nursery school, and accordingly formed a volunteer-run nursery school for fifteen children in the community. The expansion of childcare services occurred shortly thereafter as the volunteers quickly discovered that in addition to the early learning component, the children required supervision and childcare as their parents needed to work. *$2500 due at singing *Tax, tags and fees extra *Must be coming out of a Ford lease *Stock #5168 *10,500 miles per year*Quote number 73954 ¡sí! ¡nosotros hablamos español!
