NEW JERSEY CAMEO CLUB MEMBERS EXPERIENCE EMOTIONAL HIGHS AND LOWS

 

New Jersey Cameo Club members mourned the loss of Roe Piccoli, and attended her funeral Mass at St. Maximilian Church in Toms River. 

As the title infers, Tuesday, July 16th was an unforgettable day of emotional experiences for the NEW JERSEY CAMEO CLUB ladies, as they came out in full force to pay their final respects to their dear sister Roe, who  finally succumbed after a long battle with cancer.  

A resident of Toms River, Roe entered the MS NEW JERSEY SENIOR AMERICA PAGEANT in 2023, and won 2nd Runner Up.  She will always be remembered for her elegance and grace, and lovely singing voice.

 

            After the funeral, the ladies drove to Manahawkin to attend the 4th quarterly meeting. 

Prior to the meeting, the ladies enjoyed a sumptuous luncheon that included vegetarian and non-vegetarian foods.  Birthdays are always celebrated at meetings with a birthday cake, followed by a rousing chorus  of "Happy Birthday."

The meeting was as usual, informative, lively and vigorous.  Denise Mechan, Director of Communications, read the state of affairs of the organization, and committee chairwomen thanked their members for their cooperation and help during the year.  Terry Meade, MS NEW JERSEY SENIOR AMERICA STATE PAGEANT DIRECTOR, revealed most of her vision and theme for next year's Pageant.

Since her coronation, QUEEN Lenore has been busy, and her report was especially interesting.  She has received certificates and plaques of accommodations and congratulatory letters from local, county and State legislators.

 

QUEEN Lenore was embraced by Mayor O'brien of Sayreville, when she attended the St.Stan Carnival in June.

Here's hoping that, in the year ahead, the fabulous ladies of the NEW JERSEY CAMEO CLUB will maintain their good health and unique talents, so that they can continue to spread their special brand of cheer, love and laughter to all they meet.
