The Adopt-a-Soldier Platoon Pasta Dinner at the American Legion Wednesday night was a Who's Who of Fair Lawn dignitaries and servicemen and women past and present.
The event was put on by Deputy Mayor Joe Tedeschi (Cook), American Legion Commander Albee Palmieri (Cook) and Councilman-Elect John Cosgrove (Master of Ceremonies) who teamed up to offer a pasta dinner and raise funds for the Adopt-a-Soldier Platoon Program.
The Adopt-a-Soldier Platoon Program was founded in 2003 by Fair Lawn resident Alan Krutchkoff and his wife, Mary-Edna, as a way to provide support and boost morale for military units overseas and their families back home.
The program collects non-perishable food items, toiletries, small electronics and other items for the soldiers stationed overseas.

Zak,
As much as I'm flattered that you title me "Master Chef Julia Enerson" (and thank you for not calling me 'June'), the title of Master Chef is not one to be given out lightly. There are only 50+ certified Master Chefs in the United States and the title is earned after long and detailed training with the ACF and a series of titles, too.
