WEST MILFORD The entire Cytowicz family has dedicated their lives to helping and serving others. Walter Cytowicz was a police officer who served 22 years on the NYPD before retiring several years ago, and his wife, Maria, has always been a caring, giving, and loving person. She has dedicated more than 15 years to helping others and is well known to many organizations for her volunteer efforts. Recently, Walter lost his two-and -half-year battle with cancer. Maria is now the single parent of three and friends of the family are asking the community to help them. On Saturday, March 3, a benefit dinner for the Cytowicz family will hopefully raise enough money to make a difference. The dinner will be held at the Elks Lodge on Union Valley Road and there will be three seatings, 4:30, 6 and 7:30 p.m. It will be buffet style featuring chicken and roast beef. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased by calling Karen Ponzo at 973-853-7311 or Maryanne LaFleur at 973-728-0967. Tickets must be purchased by February 19.
