The Jamaica Rotary Club and police officers from the 113^th, 102^nd and 103^rd Precincts provided a delicious BBQ luncheon for the consumers and staff at Queens Centers for Progress’ Day Treatment Center located at The Daniel Wieder Campus, 249-16 Grand Central Parkway in Bellerose, New York.

The consumers ate a delicious BBQ lunch of hot dogs, hamburgers, sausages and the works to go with it all generously donated and served by the Rotary Club. The consumers also danced up a storm with Janet Ingber as the D.J. and resident music therapist. Cool white imprinted Rotary t-shirts were distributed for all to wear on the hot summer afternoon we shared together.

The Jamaica Rotary also celebrated COP OF THE MONTH day and plaques were awarded to officers who showed valor and exceptional skill. All the top brass were there to honor them. (see pictures) Executive Director Charles Houston and Maryann McAleer, Director of Development also presented the Rotary Club and Police Dept. plaques for their efforts. Gerri Feretic, Director of Day Treatment, also presented a beautiful artistic plaque which was made by the consumers to the Jamaica Rotary Club’s president.

As we shared our BBQ, landscapers were putting flowers all over the campus which were generously donated by The Home Depot.

There was a drawing for a 2005 Land Rover 3 Year lease which was won by the son of one of our board members and an active contributor to QCP. Congratulations!
