New Community will debut a video commemorating its founder and 50 years of service at its 50th Anniversary Gala March 3 in East Rutherford.
The video will highlight the work of NCC Founder Monsignor William J. Linder and the corporation as a whole. There will be interviews with New Community staff members, including CEO Richard Rohrman, Director of Mission Frances Teabout and Director of Health and Social Services Veronica Onwunaka; Victoria Foundation Associate Director Craig Drinkard; people who knew Monsignor Linder before he founded New Community; and Monsignor Linder himself.
Also highlighted in the video will be a number of New Community programs and services, including the New Community Workforce Development Center, an accredited post-secondary career and technical school; Harmony House, NCC’s transitional housing facility for homeless families; day care; after-school program; and senior activities.
John Pallone, owner of Video Life Productions, is producing the piece. He visited New Community in January to film the interviews and scenes throughout the network.
