Honoring Former NCC President Art Wilson's Legacy |
|
Art Wilson wore many hats—principal, father-figure, disciplinarian and boss.
But in each of his roles, Wilson preferred not to be heavy-handed. He made himself endlessly available to the staff of New Community while he served as NCC's board president for 38 years.
As principal of St. Rose of Lima School in Newark, Wilson disciplined his most rambunctious students by sternly lecturing them or keeping a watchful eye over their every move during Saturday detention. His stance was firm, but his motive was always love, according to those who knew Wilson at NCC. |

Bringing Joy To Her World: NCC Resident Hosts Party, Helps Neighbors |
Gwen Williams keeps a watchful eye on the goings on at New Community Sussex Gardens. She's the type of resident who knows her neighbors by name and stops to ask about the welfare of their loved ones.
Williams goes the extra mile.
"It's in her heart. It's who she is," said Nakesha Dunn, who lives at Sussex Gardens with her four children. "She doesn't even have to know you."
A longtime resident of Sussex Gardens, a New Community residential complex for families located at 78 North Sixth St. in Newark, Williams recently played host to a building-wide Christmas party, all financed through the generosity of her heart. |
