Ridgewood NJ, amazingly Harwin supporters led of with another round of Jamboree bashing . In case you are unfamiliar ,since 1947, Jamboree has presented an original musical revue to raise need-based scholarship funds for college bound Ridgewood High School seniors.Every year the Jamboree organization coaxes parents who still have dreams of stardom to put on a great show and raise a whole bunch of money college bound Ridgewood High School seniors.
The latest accusations claim the Mayor is profiting from taking and selling pictures of the event .
A reader retorted What part of “Like many other volunteers, Susan Knudsen has devoted countless hours to Jamboree. She is not paid for her services. The Board of Trustees of the Jamboree Scholarship Fund” don’t you understand? The photos are SOLD AS A FUNDRAISING EFFORT FOR JAMBOREE!

Desperate candidates and their supporters = desperate attempts to sway voters.
more lies from the arohnson playbook.
From the Jamboree Scholarship Board President:
. .
Dear Susan,
At the outset, it is important to note that, as a 501(c)(3) organization, Jamboree Scholarship Fund does not engage in political activity and as such we do not endorse candidates for elected office at any level.
Like hundreds of people, you have devoted countless volunteer hours to Jamboree. Jamboree does not pay you for your photography services. With regard to the candid photos we are aware of the fact that in the past you have donated the proceeds back to Jamboree.
Thank you for your many years of volunteer service to Jamboree.
Well, the lastest statement from the Jamboree boards is pretty clear….Susan Knudsen does not profit from Jamboree. End of story.
All those political strategists sitting around plotting what they can accuse her of next and all they can find are things that were never there. This actually says a lot for the mayor!
it’s also pretty clear that while the organization doesn’t engage in political activity or endorse candidates, it just did.
