Creating amazing memories during life’s celebrations is HALL OF FAME David Waterman’s business. INDUCTION CEREMONY
Originally from Queens, New York, Dave grew up on Long Island and eventually landed in high school in Rockland County, New York. After Pace University, he Friday, November 30, 2018
got involved in the entertainment business and, along with his partners, brought The Rockleigh Total Entertainment, a social and corporate events company, to Englewood in 1995. 26 Paris Avenue While the business was rooted in Englewood, Dave was living in Hoboken. It was Rockleigh, New Jersey fortuitous, to say the least. He met his future wife, Claudia, there and the two were married in 2000. “We eloped!” Dave says. “We took the wedding on the road and,
instead of people coming to us, we traveled to visit friends and family as far away as Colombia!” Sharing life’s celebration with others is the family business.
Jake, their eldest son, was born in 2005 and, while looking for a school for him, Dave met with a client and through them heard about OLMC. “I mentioned we were looking for a school for Jake in passing and my client, whose children were in Jewish schools, said, ‘My child’s most polite and best friends come from a place called Our Lady of Mount Carmel.’ My client loved the way these young kids carried themselves. It really opened my eyes, so we visited.”
“Claudia and I immediately loved the religious values and structure we found at OLMC,” Dave says. “The teachers, the principal, all had this amazing energy and it was Rose Ann Miglietta (2012 Hall of Fame Inductee) who made us feel right at home. She brought me in asking about what I did for a living and, when she found out what I did for a living, I was immediately helping.” With the help of then David Waterman Parents Guild co-presidents Helen Vafiadis (2012 Hall of Fame Inductee) and
Benedetta Watros (2014 Hall of Fame Inductee) that they started planning big things! OLMC was Dave’s family now too, and sharing life’s celebrations is Dave’s The Service Award family business. will be presented to It wasn’t a big change. Dave’s desire to serve started when he was a kid in sports Mr. David Waterman programs. He participated in volunteer programs, like park clean-ups. Now, with Parent Total Entertainment, Dave and his team have been doing free and fun parties for the Academy of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Scouts and Special Olympics, just to name a few.
Along with his wife, Claudia, and often with his sons, Dave was essential to some of the most amazing moments in the Academy’s history in the last decade. OLMC Fall Fest, The Spring Gala at Palisadium, countless Warrior Days and Service Days—so many of these events led to the ability to air condition every classroom in the building, renovate a playground, and so much more! The Service Award is awarded to those
When our beloved RJ Sy was celebrating his fourth birthday, Dave was everyone’s community members who have dedicated first call. “I was blessed. I got the company to volunteer their time, and so many their efforts in serving their fellow people rallied around him, and like so many events at OLMC, the entire building parishioners and Academy families, either was alive! I was a part of something,” Dave says. “It was more than just a school— through time, talent or treasure. OLMC is a community. It was so easy to volunteer because everyone was doing it, and the kids’ reaction to what we were doing made it fun, too!” Now it’s Dave’s turn to be the one honored, and at our Hall of Fame we’re making it OLMC’s business to do so. 7 Volume 5, Issue 42 Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time WEEKLY RUNDOWN
