Bound Brook Community Day Celebration 2007 To Be Held October 7.

Volunteer helpers during and after the April flood in Bound Brook to be honored.

This year Bound Brook once again suffered through the effects of Mother Nature, experiencing another flood in April. The Somerset County Cultural Diversity Coalition (SCCDC), in collaboration with the Borough of Bound Brook, Chamber and Rotary Club and many other non-profit organizations and businesses, in celebration of this community and all it has to offer, will be holding its annual Bound Brook Community Day Celebration on Sunday, October 7, 2007 from 11:30 am to 5:00 pm.

The annual community day will not only highlight the diversity of cultures in Central Jersey and Bound Brook it will also be a celebration of our community spirit in Bound Brook, honoring those who make a difference. As part of our event we will be highlighting all the organizations and individuals that helped those affected by the flood with a special ceremony. Irish, Hispanic, Polish, Jewish Musicians and others will perform live music. A 50’s rock band will also be on hand. Cultural dance groups will perform as well. There will be various activities for children such as face painting, a karate demonstration, dunk tank, carnival games, and more. Home Depot of Bridgewater will be helping kids make mini fire trucks. Along with the music and children’s activities will be space for food, crafters, non-profits and other vendors.

Other Sponsors of the celebration include: Somerset County Freeholder’s office, Raritan Valley Community College, Valley National Bank. Community sponsors are Bound Brook Public Schools, Bound Brook Police Department, Somerset County Young Professionals Association, Stone Crest Church, Aqua Viva, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and J & S Multi-Service.
