  • The Historic New Bridge Landing State Park Commission Annual
    The Historic New Bridge Landing State Park Commission Annual Report for 2016 A young visitor peers into an open window to see what is happening at the Steuben House at Historic New Bridge Landing State Park, for Calico Frolic 2016. 1 Respectfully submitted to the Governor and Legislature of New Jersey December 2016 B. Spencer Newman’s painting depicts the darkest hour of the American Revolution, when General George Washington led the outnumbered Continental garrison of Fort Lee across the Hackensack River at New Bridge on November 20, 1776. Doubtful to the last moment, this crossing preserved American hopes in the face of invasion by an army of Europe’s finest troops. Eyewitness-to-history Thomas Paine stands in the left foreground. Literally occupying the Crossroads of the American Revolution, the Zabriskie- Steuben House—the only extant house along the route of the retreat in Bergen County—went on to survive more of the war than any other home in America. The State of NJ acquired this landmark dwelling in 1928 as a perpetual memorial to the “times that try men’s souls.” 2 Dear Governor Chris Christie and Legislators: Pursuant to our responsibilities under Public Law 2009, chapter 45, the Historic New Bridge Landing Park Commission submits this annual report for 2016. 2016 has been another banner year for Historic New Bridge Landing. The key to our success is consistently exciting and innovative programming that not only attracts new audiences, but repeat visitors as well. We succeed because we understand quality programming depends not only upon having an interesting and engaging story to tell, but also on coordinating the talents of highly motivated and well educated volunteers from a variety of professions, who generously share their enthusiasm with guests, and, most importantly, who create a pervasive culture of hospitality, respect for the lessons of our history and a commitment to stewardship over a significant American Revolutionary War battleground, which gave life to our nation.

  • 2009 Annual Report
    2009 Annual Report ABOUT THE COVER PORTRAIT Eunice Kennedy Shriver’s portrait was made by artist David Lenz and is on display at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. It represents the first time the museum commissioned a portrait of an individual who has not served as either a president or first lady. The portrait’s prominent location, adjacent to the Smithsonian’s much-loved Hall of Presidents, pays homage not only to Mrs. Shriver, but to people like David’s son, Sam, who has an intellectual disability. “Mrs. Shriver made the world a better place for Sam, and by celebrating her life,” says David Lenz, “I’m shining a spotlight on the remarkable work she’s done.” In Lenz’s painting, Eunice Kennedy Shriver is at her Cape Cod, Massachusetts, home surrounded by four Special Olympics athletes and a Best Buddies Ambassador —(from left to right) Airika Straka of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin; Katie Meade of Des Moines, Iowa; Andy Leonard of Reynoldsburg, Ohio; Loretta Claiborne of York, Pennsylvania; and Marty Sheets of Greensboro, North Carolina. With a broad smile on her face and her arm draped over Sheets’ shoulder, she is clearly enjoying being with him. “The very act of inviting people with intellectual disabilities into the painting mirrors the essence of Eunice Kennedy Shriver’s work: understanding and inclusion,” says Lenz. This portrait debuted at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery on May 9, 2009. 3 4 Leadership Letter 5 A Tribute to Eunice Kennedy Shriver 6 Growing a Movement 7 Building Awareness One Fan and ‘Click’ at a Time 8 Establishing a Foundation of Sports 10 Engaging the Passion and Energy of Youth 11 Providing Athletes Equal Access to Good Health 12 Tapping into Research and Innovation 13 Where Are We in the World? 20 Corporate Supporters 22 Global Supporters 24 2009 Financials 26 Board of Directors 27 Leadership Staff & Mission 4 LETTER FROM..
