NAMI Mercer News for January 21, 2004

Night Out With NAMI a big success!

NAMI Mercer friends and supporters enjoyed a sparkling NIGHT OUT WITH NAMI on January 11, at The College of New Jersey.

Pianist and psychiatrist Richard Kogan brought back all our memories of George Gershwin’s incomparable music with great zest and a profound understanding of this “bad kid” musician who found his way into the hearts of music lovers worldwide.

It was a lovely evening, made even more special by the sumptuous festival of American food that followed the performance. Guests wandered from one decorative food station to another, helping themselves to carved beef, shrimp, pecan chicken, chocolate mousse and créme brulée and other delicacies in no special order, and without the constraints of one seat, one plate and one set of dinner companions.

We made something close to $50,000 all told, and we are truly grateful to all of our supporters for their generosity. NAMI Mercer will use the money wisely to continue and improve our service to the families of the mentally ill in Mercer county.
