Bill Jennings is Treasurer of the board and one of the newer members.  "After hearing Phyllis' presentation to the board about what she hoped to accomplish as Benefit Co-chair,  I believed that with her infectious enthusiasm ERASE would have a very successful fund raiser and I wanted to help her accomplish that goal," said Bill.  "We are fortunate to have volunteers with the drive and ability of Phyllis."

"It's great to have a working committee that is as full of excitement and enthusiasm as this group," says Rosemarie Walker, the ERASE Racism staff person working with the committee.  "Committee members are drawing on diverse ideas and talents such as public relations to reach out to business associates and community organizations.  Others will negotiate, plan and organize for an exciting Silent Auction with fantastic items such as field level box tickets to a New York Mets game, wine tasting in a beautiful Northport home, a day in the country - featuring a round of golf at the Garden City Country Club, restaurant gift certificates, a signed copy of "No Easy Burdan" by Andrew Young, beautiful gift baskets among other great items.  The event's Marketplace will showcase and sell exquisite scarf and jewelry designs by Bernie Rohe of Bernie of New York and Joyce Williams of Must Have Accessories as well as CAMBA's unique quality stone sculptures by renowned Shona artists of Zimbabwe.  Bring your checkbooks and get ready for an amazing event!"
