The South Orange Maplewood Community Coalition on Race honored two of its former leaders—Barbara Heisler and Anthony Greene—at its annual dinner fundraiser Celebrating Integration: Bringing Community Together event.
About 116 people attended the event at SOPAC Loft in South Orange on October 18, reported Coalition Executive Director Nancy Gagnier.
“In addition to great food, dancing, an auction, and good fellowship, there’s always so much good feeling in the room about the work we do. Last night that was especially true as we honored Barbara—the founding Executive Director, and Anthony Greene, a long-time trustee and former chair,” said Gagnier.
