Project Graduation, a decades old tradi-
tion, takes a lot of planning, work and
funding. The fruits of the West Morris
Centrals 2015 Project Graduation
Committee are about to emerge. The
Committee, made up of parents of graduat-ing seniors, has been meeting since March
2014 to prepare for their June 2015 Event.
Their mission is to provide a safe celebrato-
ry environment for graduating seniors The
Committee, like the ones before, will pro-
vide an all-night celebration for every grad-
uating senior. Every senior who walks in
graduation is invited to attend. The under-
taking comes with a heavy price tag, so the
fundraising has begun. The group is sensi-
tive to all the fundraising necessary in
todays environment, so they have carefully
selected events that serve the community
and add value.The group is selling Vendor Discount
Cards containing discount offers from over
40 local businesses that offer foods and serv-
ices. The Discount Card is popular and
looked for year after year by residents. A
complete listing of vendor offers can be
found at the Groups website:

ing a Town Wide Garage Sale on October 25
and a Used Clothing Drive on October 18.
Details of upcoming fundraisers are posted
to the groups website and updated frequent-
ly.
Project Graduation is an idea that has
been around for a decades. It grew out of a
need and desire to keep celebrating seniorssafe on one of the most meaningful nights of
their lives, a night where celebrations can
lead to parties and drug and alcohol dangers.
