Today, I’d like to share a special story about one of our hipcil members. It’s a powerful reminder to slow down, stay aware, and lend a helping hand whenever we can.

If Hector and David hadn’t been there at the right moment, this story could have had a very different outcome. Hector, along with his son David, stepped in without hesitation. Their quick thinking and compassion made all the difference.

Hector and David are true good Samaritans, and their actions saved the life of someone in need. We’re proud to have them as part of our community.

A heartfelt thank you to bergenPAC (Bergen Performing Arts Center) for generously providing free tickets so that two of our families could enjoy the Curious George show together. Your kindness created a wonderful opportunity for fun, laughter, and special memories!
