History of the Children’s Dyslexia Center at Scotch Plains In the fall of 1995 during her outgoing year as president of the New Jersey Branch of the International Dyslexia Association (NJIDA), Nancy Hennessey mentioned to the new incoming Co-Presidents, Judy Shapiro and Carol King that the Scottish Rite Masons wanted to help children with dyslexia. Sure enough, the Scottish Rite Masons of New Jersey contacted NJIDA and not wanting to miss ‘a once in a lifetime opportunity,’ Judy, Carol and Nancy attended a March 1996 Scottish Rite Mason’s meeting to present, “Dyslexia: What Is It and How Can We Help?” Thurman C. Pace, Jr., Frank Nappo, Ken Larsen, and the rest of the Mason attendees instantly wanted to start helping struggling readers. There was only one more piece to address. How would teachers receive first-class training in research-based Orton Gillingham curriculum, so that they could in turn provide effective remediation to children? Fairleigh Dickinson University, under the direction of Dr. Mary Farrell, fortunately had a graduate certification program, “Dyslexia Specialist Certification,” in place already. In what some people refer to as a ‘marriage’ with the longest ‘honeymoon’ in history, FDU and the Scottish Rite Masons of New Jersey joined hands; the Scottish Rite Masons would provide buildings and all necessary funding to run all aspects of the Center and FDU would provide academic direction. The Scottish Rite Mason’ vision was inspirational: free remedial instruction for dyslexic students and superb training for teachers, who would deliver such instruction. And by the summer of 1996, the first New Jersey Masonic Children Center was piloted in the library of Burlington County College. It didn’t take long to declare it a roaring success. Thurman C. Pace, Jr. and Ken Larsen, not letting any grass grow under their feet, opened two centers the following year, at Tenafly and Scotch Plains. In the fall of 1997, Scotch Plains opened its doors to five teachers and ten students. Five classrooms provided areas for instruction, while the rest of the building remained a meeting site for local Scotchwood Masons Lodge. Under the direction of Thurman C. Pace, Jr., deputy for New Jersey of Scottish Rite, a branch of the Masonic Fraternity, Scotch Plains quickly grew till every inch of the building was utilized for instruction, fifteen classrooms in all, and the Masons no longer met at this site. While Scotch Plains Center primarily serves children from neighboring districts such as Scotch Plains, Westfield and Millburn, many children travel
considerable distances from Mercer, Ocean, Somerset and even Sussex Counties to receive reading remediation for their dyslexia. The Children’s Dyslexia Center, celebrates the training of over 200 teachers and 900 children. Our graduate teachers collectively touch the lives of approximately 6000 struggling readers a year at their educational settings; multiply that by ten years and the number grows exponentially. Visions are created by visionaries; execution of such dreams takes dedication, continued optimism, a love for children, the commitment to ameliorate their struggles and lots of hard work. The Masons have all these qualities. With past and present leaders like Thurman C. Pace, Jr., Pete Miller and Verdon Skipper at the helm, we could only succeed. And at the building level, through the watchful eye and ongoing support from the late George Kerr, the late Bernie Cohen, the late Jack F. Lay, Sr., Paul M. Ferreira and Kevin W. Engemann, MSA, as Scotch Plains Board Chairs, Scotch Plains Children’s Dyslexia Center has flourished! Submitted by Co-Directors, Amy Garner and Lisa Sims
Message From Our Co-Directors Amy Garner, MA, OG-TH Lisa Sims, MA, OG - TT Through the partnership of the Scottish Rite Masons and Fairleigh Dickinson University, a program was created to train teachers in Orton Gillingham with IMSLEC (International Multisensory Structured Language Education Council) Certification and for students to receive remediation in reading. The Children’s Dyslexia Center at Scotch Plains celebrates over 25 years of this remarkable collaboration. It is with grateful hearts that hundreds of teachers have been trained and many hundreds of students have received Orton Gillingham strategies at our Center. The Center presently has three Practicum Instructors, all graduates of our program: Jennifer Williams, Dena Nahas, and Lindsay Finkelstein. Additionally, another graduate, Kerri, tutors students. In total our 19 trainees and our tutor serve 38 children. The backbone of the center's office is run by our administrative assistant Carol Hutchison. We are very thankful for her dedication and diligence. A spirit of dedication runs high at our Center. Students are dedicated to learning, parents support their commitment, and trainees spend long hours lesson planning and studying in order to hone their skills and become Master Orton Gillingham Teachers. We are so very appreciative to the Scottish Rite Masons for the creation of a place where trainees can grow, learn and apply informed methodology for students with dyslexia. This could not happen without the Masons’ extraordinary support and vision. Our appreciation extends to the Scotch Plains Board of Governors, Chairman Kevin W. Engemann, DWA, and all the members committed to the service of others. Their perseverance over the years to raise funds needed to maintain an ongoing successful program is nothing short of amazing. We are most grateful. Sharing these goals and visions for enlightening trainees and children continues to inspire us.
MY TEACHER My parents brought me to this school I didn't want to come I was frightened, by myself Being me wasn't fun I've always felt defeated Never felt complete I need to learn, to read, to write To speak, to be, to make things right Dyslexic, a word I could hardly spell Dyslexic, a word my silent hell You became my constant guide Through your teachings, I felt pride Because of you, I someday see A successful person, that would be ME My dear teacher, you are the best Because of you my mind won’t rest I've learned to read, to write to speak The future ahead no longer bleak On my last day we'll say goodbye Not a day that we should cry I take you with me, inside my head, my heart, my life I move ahead Dedicated to all the gifted teachers at the Learning Center Donna Antonacci and Al Dauth All rights reserved. © Copyright 2012 Donna Antonacci

I Remember When (A Teacher’s Memory) You see me up here teaching Thinking I haven’t a care You are mistaken My heart is breaking I sat in a classroom just like you Feeling lost and troubled too I was only eight, was this my fate? To struggle in class, I can’t read fast Spelling is rough, my entire day is tough My parents were sad and worried too Took me to a school as your parents did you I studied and followed my teacher’s direction A recipe of mixed perfection All the things that held me back Soon put me on the right track Today I stand before my class And teach a child from my past I never gave up my dream to teach Even with Dyslexia it was in my reach So don’t forget this teacher’s words A student is waiting to be heard.

WHO ARE THEY? The experts say I’m dyslexic Can’t spell it, can’t think it, don’t want it The whole thing makes me nervous They correct me, they expect me, they disobey me, they frustrate me THEY ARE WORDS Days I feel I’m drowning Turning upside downing Not a private thing or a secret whim Expose me, propose me Words are talking, constant squawking No end in sight, but their might A teacher they say can help it fade away I’m strong, their right We’ll fight with all our might Tonight’s the night I speak, I’m free I’ve learned with help to be the best of me They are just WORDS Donna Antonacci ©Copyright 2022 Donna Antonacci

A MIRROR IMAGE I see myself sitting there many years ago. Lost and confused as you are, not knowing where to go. Although things weren’t easy I climbed that ladder too. Success it came my way with hard work and fortitude. Life was a battle of the words, unsure, unable, undeniably dull. The sounds, the letters, the misspelled words.My world was upside down. At times I felt like quitting but positive I stayed. Battled all the big wigs until they saw my way. I see you sitting in a chair at the Children’s Dyslexia Center growing, learning, spelling, able now to read. You have learned to stand and read.How proud I’ll be of you. Doing all the things that I found hard to do. The bottom line got bigger, because of my hard work. The endless hours behind a desk showed in my great works. Excellence surrounds you, proper skills abound you. How I wish I had that gift.Something that I sadly missed. As you climb that hill, the mountain isn’t far.You will reach the top.I’ll watch you from afar.
BECAUSE OF YOU Looking back to younger days Frightened times, could not engage A visit to the library To only find no book for me A simple chat amongst my peers Would always turn right into tears To feel so separate, so far apart Misunderstood right from the start Alone I’d read, out loud and slow I would stumble to and fro Would make believe the crowd was big I’d stand before them a big wig There had to be a place for me To fit in society To learn, to read, to spell to tell To let them know I could do it well Now an adult and looking back The “Learning Center” put me on track The confidence and love they shared Their excellence made me prepared Now I stand before my team A C.E.O., and entrepreneur’s dream I stand a man with no regrets Find it easy to not forget Who put me where I stand today? The “Learning Center” showed me the way Dedicated to all the successful graduates from the Learning Center Donna Antonacci and Al Dauth Copyright © 2014 Donna Antonacci
My Dyslexic Boy A learning disorder so they say My little boy just wants to play My little boy could catch a ball Sometimes felt ten feet tall Little did they know his world of words so small He could run a mile and melt you with his smile I would wipe his tear each time he read with fear He would ride his bike or up a trail he’d hike But try to spell or tell, he could not do this well He could paint a scene or color a rainbow theme But to write a thought, this he did for naught He’d try to sing a song, a melody so warm Remembering the words, he’d always get them wrong Frustration not a friend, trying to pretend To sometimes get it right, the will to learn to fight His teacher held his hand to guide him, take the stand With tender loving care, her brilliance helped repair With all the wrong and right I lay him down at night Kiss away his pain Try harder not in vain Children – Our Most Precious Gift – Our Future Donna Antonacci and Al Dauth Copyright © 2011 Donna Antonacci

WHAT I WANT TO BE When I grow up I want to be A teacher like you were to me A doctor, lawyer would be fine But a teacher is how I would spend my time So patient and so kind each day Makes me want to be that way A child would look up to me As I teach them all that they could be No better job could I dream of A job that’s truly filled with love So I will study hard each day My reading skills will pave the way A vision that I have for me To help a child with dyslexia feel FREE What I want to be is clear A teacher saying, “you made it dear”.

Different Twins My boys were born a perfect pair The only difference a bit less hair So I thought, but I was wrong They each sang a different song Two treasures God you gave to me To love and cherish endlessly The tiny years would shed no tears What was to come would be no fun When school began the divide would show One with ease, the other slow How could this be, my perfect pair What was happening wasn’t fair A well kept secret, until the day His teacher said come walk this way She pointed out that one would be, a struggle, daily, endlessly Dyslexic, yes I’ve heard the term This will make it tough to learn Must not compare, we’ll find a way To help him learn, we’ll even pray There is a place, it’s so divine They really care, just find the time Special teachers will take his hand Read with him to Wonderland The alphabet, numbers, colors too Learning will be a dream come true Two years gone by and all that work Accomplishment a giant perk To stand before his class and say “Let me be first to read today” The Learning Center you gave a life The love, the time, expert advice In the end all I can say My Different Twins Be on your way Dedicated to children – our most precious gift Donna Antonacci and Al Dauth © Copyright 2015 Donna Antonacci
SET ME FREE While mixing my letters When writing my words Each day is a struggle Emotions unheard I wasn’t aware This was who I became Sat on the sideline Feeling the shame Feeling so anxious Failing so much Frightened, unsure So out of touch They tell me I’m brilliant Hard to believe Believe in myself Someday take the lead Prayed for an answer So hard to foresee I cry for some meaning inside SET ME FREE!

The Board of Governors of the Children’s Dyslexia Centers of NJ - Scotch Plains Campus, is Deeply Grateful to its Sponsors and Advertisers for their Generosity We Thank All of You for Attending Our 3rd 9 Annual Lunch. th
The Stage House Tavern has been an integral part of the local community since the 18th century. The building, originally the Stage House Inn, was built in Scotch Plains in 1737 by John Sutton and served as the center of social, business, military and political circles. The Inn was a primary meeting place for troop messengers and officers during the Revolutionary War and it is said that General Lafayette spent time there. Legend also has it that when President Abraham Lincoln called in additional troops to defend the Union during the Civil War, rallies were held at the Inn. A succession of innkeepers, one with the improbable name of Recompense Stanberry, helped to build the Stage House Inn’s reputation has one of the finest and most hospitable establishments in America. For 142 years after its opening, the Inn continued its traditional service to travelers from all corners of a growing nation. As commerce in the Colonies increased, stage lines were added reaching between New York and Philadelphia and the Inn became a regular port of call on the “SwiftͲSure Stage Line.” In the 1990s, the restaurant went on to become one of the best fineͲdining restaurants in New Jersey. Purchased in 2003, the Stage House was transformed into a hotspot for quality tavern fare and fun nightlife—while maintaining its historic charm with bars from the original structure and the connecting barn. After seeing the success of the first Stage House location the owners decided to open a second and third location. In 2011, the Somerset location opened its doors and the Mountainside location opened in 2017. The spaces include large outdoor seating areas, multiple bars and are great destinations for a date night under the stars. Stage House Tavern also caters towards your party needs, with spaces for any size event. The Stage House Tavern
