Through its two free concert series, Summer Concerts on the Hudson and the UBS Atrium Series, HRPAC has developed an excellent track record for bringing fine and diverse programming to our region and for sharing its programs with the area’s youth through arts education outreach. Over its thirteen year history, HRPAC has presented over a thousand performing artists to many thousands of fans, and even had the honor of featuring many Grammy and Tony Award-winning artists. It has also brought educational programs, free of charge, to thousands of students in eight of Hudson County’s school districts.

The Honorable Marie L. Garibaldi

Marie was a remarkable person, well-known for her

groundbreaking accomplishments in the legal field. She was the first woman Supreme Court justice of the State of New Jersey and the first woman President of the New Jersey Bar Association. She was a generous spirit, unwavering in her beliefs, and extremely loyal to her friends and family. Marie believed in the importance of philanthropy and practiced what she preached. She was active on several boards, including the Hackensack University Medical Center. She was a founder of our organization and one of its driving forces, devoting a tremendous amount of time, energy, and financial resources over the years. Marie was truly proud of her Italian heritage and very active in Italian-American organizations and causes. She will be greatly missed by so many, both on a personal and professional level.

A special ‘note’ of appreciation to the

Hudson Riverfront Performing Arts Center My best wishes for continued success. C. Marie Mangin

To all our friends in the HRPAC community: My profound greetings for this year’s gala. It is fitting, but with deep sorrow and regret to reflect on the loss of a great lady, our dear Marie Garibaldi, the Honorable former Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court. This exquisite and remarkable woman spent her gracious and graceful life among us, exemplifying the high order of civility, kindness, love and community responsibility. For those of us who knew her personally, it is hard to comprehend the future without her, but we know she left her mark on all of us in such gentle but unforgettable ways. Always a lady, gushing with unquenchable spirit and an inner glow that penetrated all around her, marking her uniqueness as this dear friend whom we all love and whose memory we will cherish and whose unique life presence we will miss forever into the future.

Honor

Sincerely, Arthur E. Imperatore Founder and President Port Imperial Ferry Corp.
