Just a short note to thank you for your most welcome—and generous—contribution which helped to make the American Cancer Society’s Crimson Ball a success this year.
Your help—and support—are greatly appreciated. Many thanks to you and all of the members of the NJ Ad Club. I am proud and privileged to a part of an organization such as this.

Gianettino & Meredith To the Editor:
Several weeks ago I contacted the Ad Club in response to a “Wake-Up Call Workshop” promotional piece that was misleading because it entertained the presenter as “Jim Wardell of NJ Biz Magazine.”
Later I received an e-mail regarding the event and again it presented the speaker as from “NJ Biz Magazine.” He is employed by NJ Biz Newspaper.
I’m appalled that the members of the Ad Club received this note and perceive NJ Biz to be New Jersey Business Magazine. NJ Biz is a weekly “newspaper” not to be confused with New Jersey Business Magazine.
Sincerely,
Phillip Battista, Associate Publisher
