Jessica Nickel '98 accepts the award from Monica Barbaris-Young, Exec. Dir. of Friends in Action.

ALUMNI, TAKE NOTE -- Jessica Nickel '98 garners award as the "Volunteer of the Year" for the Princeton Club of Washington in a special regional ceremony held annually by Interfaith Works in Bethesda, MD.

JESSICA's COMMUNITY SERVICE TEAM DRAWS PRAISE for 10-YEAR-OLD INITIATIVE launched by her on behalf of the Princeton Club of Washington. Congratulations to all those supporting Jessica's team. Please consider joining this fine team and supporting the project in 2010.

Interfaithworks is a 13-year-old coalition of non-profit
service groups in Montgomery Maryland. The group is
now led by Executive Director Rebecca Wagner,
and the group serves 35,000 low-income families and
children in Montgomery County, Maryland.

At a Friday, March 12 ceremony, the group recognized
Jessica Nickel '98, PCW's Community Service Chair,
and her team for leading our Adopt-a-Family program
during the past decade. Jessica's project works with
Friends in Action, and provides food and clothing for
that group's many clients throughout the year -- but
especially at Thanksgiving and the holiday season in
December.

Each year, Jessica's team raises $2000 or more in
funding for low-income programs, feeds around 50
families and clothes over 70 children.  it's a truly
heroic effort that deserves our congratulations.

Our partner group at Interfaith Works is Friends in
Action, led by Ms. Monica Barberis-Young.

Attending the ceremony were Jessica Nickel '98 and
husband David Nickel '99, Joyce Rechtschaffen '75
(Princeton's Director of Government Affairs in DC),
and Lee Dudka *77, Princeton Club President.

Ms. Monica Barberis-Young, Executive Director
of Friends in Action (pictured above) presented
the award to Jessica and PCW.
