Dear Seeing Eye Supporter, 

The Seeing Eye has paired up with Gran Fondo New Jersey (GFNJ), a bike tour and weekend of activities that are centered around Morristown. Gran Fondo means \”big ride\” or \”big endurance\” in Italian. There are three routes – the 103-mile Gran Fondo, the 63-mile Medio Fondo and the 43-mile Piccolo F ondo. GFNJ is an exciting fundraiser and ride — not a race — that will feature timed hill climbs with all the carnival-like culture of European tour mountain climbs. 

The bike tour and other GFNJ festivities will take place August 26-28, 2011. The ride itself will take place on Sunday, August 28. The event will benefit three charities, including The Seeing Eye. In

WASHINGTON – As members of Congress rush from one news conference to another to tell us why we have to cut the spending and raise the debt ceiling, we wondered…What is Congress willing to sacrifice? Especially when it comes to how they transport themselves to all those news conferences. FOX 5 has found Congress is rolling high-end SUVs, some leased from luxury companies like Lexus and Cadillac, all paid for by you – the taxpayer. Our investigation uncovered at least 90 members of the U.S. House of Representatives use federal money to pay for automobile leases.

The U.S. Senate outlawed using government money to pay for personal cars.

But in the House, we found a diverse variety of Republicans and Democrats, high-ranking veterans and Tea Party freshmen taking advantage of a perk that can cost as much as $1,400 a month per vehicle.

I want to express my admiration for Police Captain Steve Saymon, the Brooklawn American Legion Post 72, and others involved in the construction of our 9/11 Memorial. The I-beam is up now and there are two flags flying from its top, an American flag and the \”93\” flag to commemorate Flight 93.

Thanks to Coriell Steel for bringing the I-beam here from New York City. I say a little prayer whenever I see it. It will be really spectacular when it is done and dedicated on September 11.

Doris Pulaski, Brooklawn
