VGOO is the only nonprofit organization in NJ, and one of only a few in the country, that utilizes volunteers to serve as guardians for incapacitated adults with no one else to serve in this role. Because of our volunteers, older people with dementia and other adults with mental illness and developmental disabilities have someone that is committed to just one person and making sure that they are living their lives in a manner that reflects their wishes and values and ensures they are safe, their assets are protected, and they are not forgotten. www.VolunteerGuardianship.org.

Come Join Us for our Super Sunday Show at RC Collectibles on February 9 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm! 1060 US Highway 22, Lebanon • 908.840.4698 OUR GUEST SIGNERS (from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm) ARE: Met Legend Mookie Wilson & MMA HALL OF FAMER Don Fry!! William Hayward "Mookie" Wilson (born February 9, 1956) is an American former Major League Baseball outfielder and coach who played for the New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays over twelve major league seasons. He is best remembered as the Met who hit the ground ball that rolled through Bill Buckner's legs in the bottom of the 10th inning of game six of the 1986 World Series. A switch hitter with excellent speed, his positive attitude and hustle immediately endeared him to a Mets fan base with precious few stars to root for when he first came up in the early 1980s. He was enshrined in the New York Mets Hall of Fame in 1996. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mookie_Wilson) Donald Frye (born November 23, 1965) is an American former mixed martial artist, professional wrestler, and actor. In MMA, he was one of the sport's earliest well-rounded fighters and won the UFC 8 and Ultimate Ultimate 96 tournaments and finished as runner-up at UFC 10 in his first year of competition. He retired from MMA in 1997 to pursue a career in professional wrestling with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) and quickly became one of the company's leading heels. After spending four years as one of Japan's top gaijin wrestlers, he returned to MMA with the Pride Fighting Championships in September 2001, much more muscular and sporting an American patriot persona in response to the September 11 attacks. He fought bouts with Ken Shamrock and Yoshihiro Takayama during his two years in Pride. He departed the promotion to compete in K-1 and Hero's in 2004 but returned for the final Pride event in 2007. He was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2016. (https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Frye) RC COLLECTIBLES sells an array of sports and non-sports memorabilia.
