The Monsignor William Linder Scholarship Committee awarded a $2,000 scholarship to Gardens Senior Resident Services Coordinator Desiree Crespo to pay for the education of her daughter, Mia Lopez. Lopez attends Harmony Christian Academy in Elizabeth.
This scholarship, named for New Community Founder Monsignor Linder, is awarded annually to New Community employees whose children attend Catholic or private schools. Monsignor Linder believed that quality education is the foundation of a successful life and the scholarship is a way of honoring his legacy.
