Local senior is ’empowering women’ throughout New Jersey

As part of our "Salute to Seniors" feature, we at NJ 101.5 along with our Sponsorship Partner, American Senior Magazine, asked listeners to nominate a very special senior who is giving back to the New Jersey "community" at large — seniors who have gone above and beyond to serve their communities.

This week's nominee is Dr. Susan Halsey, also known as Dr. Dune. She's' a retired coastal geologist who has given more time to the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore than you'd believe and is a huge advocate of Girl Scouts outdoor activities and camp programs. She has given her time, energy and financial support to the organization as well as serving on the Board of Directors.

According to JoAnn McCann, who nominated her, she's an amazing woman whose support of the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore is invaluable.

It's seniors like Susan Halsey who help make New Jersey such a great place to live! We salute you, Dr. Dune!

Tell us about your senior below. Submissions will be accepted through Nov. 21. Individual seniors will be selected by our staff and featured on-air and online once a week starting Sept. 4.

If your senior is chosen, he or she will be invited to New Jersey 101.5 for an upcoming commercial and invited to a luncheon at the the station.
