Donations
We, of course, owe much to the many UACNJ and member club amateurs who have dedicated their time and often money to the many projects that we always have ongoing. We could not survive without this continual cooperation. However, there are some people we would like to recognize for their special contributions.
This is a small way of saying "Thanks" to those individuals, organizations and corporations who have shown us their generosity in support of our work, facility and programs over the past few years.
