Pictured in the presentation photo are: (from L to R) Commander Zoltan Horvath; Trustee and Poppy Program Co Chair George De Rosa; Doris Neibart, Chief Executive Officer of the Paramus Veteran's Home; VC Mike Gela; Rudy Pachner; VC and Poppy Co Chair Doug Frank; Roy Meyer; VC Jack Mertz; Nat Lucarello; Trustee Phil Langner; and VC Larry Loeffler.Vice Commander Doug Frank in a special report to the Post Officers said, "Currently many of the activities that are held for the Vets at the Paramus home are done in the cafeteria. With the construction of the new multi-purpose room there will soon be a modern facility with the latest in Audio Visual equipment where community activities such as regular Bingo games can be easily held. Post 162 is proud to be able to contribute to this facility for our vets."
