CLARK – Recreation Director Ralph Bernardo was so grateful when the Keith W. Dolan Memorial Fund Committee told him they were making a donation to Clark Recreation for a brand new Bocce Court.

The Court was then built and installed free of charge by Clark resident Steve Paterno and his son Steven. Bernardo said “Keith would be happy to see the recreation department expanding its programs more and more each year.”

Dolan was the part-time Recreation Director for a short time before Bernardo took over after Dolan’s sudden death. The Dolan Memorial Fund Committee raises money for various youth programs and organizations each spring through a golf outing in Keith’s name.
