SPARTA — A Memorial Day Dinner fundraiser will be held at the Sussex County Technical School on Friday, May 21 at 6 p.m. The dinner will benefit the Sussex County Democratic Committee, as well as sick and wounded members of the Armed Forces and their families. The students of the school’s Culinary Department will prepare and serve dinner. Young area musicians will provide the entertainment. John Wisniewski, State Assemblyman and Chairman of the New Jersey State Democratic Committee, will be guest speaker, and will discuss issues that have recently impacted Sussex County’s schools and homeowners.
