D e c e m b e r 2 0 1 7 Dear Seniors:
On behalf of the Recreation Department and my Administration, I am pleased to present
the winter/spring edition of the "Best of Times". My administration, along with the
Recreation and Swim Utility, work hard to ensure a good quality of life for Marlboro
Township Residents. In fact, senior programming has increased by over 26% since I
took office in 2008. There are additional Township programs that are available and
open to all ages and I urge you to take part in those, as well. There are many new
activities and events that can be found in this guide, the Recreation newsletters, and
the Township emails. I hope everyone takes advantage of these innovative additions
to our programming.
We have enjoyed a very mild fall but winter and the possibility for severe weather is
around the corner. Extreme weather emergencies have become much more frequent
in recent years disrupting our quality of life, leaving many seniors housebound, causing
damage to our properties and roads and affecting our municipal budget. As our weather
becomes more unpredictable, we place even more focus on making sure our emergency
preparedness will be ready when needed. Communication is a vital part of being prepared.
With options such as email notifications, reverse 911 calls, Facebook and Twitter,
residents can quickly be contacted in times of emergency. You may visit the
"Communications for Residents" section of our website and register for any and all
of our communication options.
Seniors face additional challenges as well as generally having less access to computers,
social media and smartphones. Therefore, it is even more important that you register
your home and cell phone for reverse 911 calls. Simply call (732) 536-0100 ext. 1412
and Matt Price will register your phones. Please remember that the police and Town
Hall are always here to provide assistance and information.
Our Teen Advisory Committee (TAC) is here to help, as well. If you would like
assistance adding your email and phone to the call lists, or registering for Facebook
so you can follow Facebook page updates, please contact Denise Barry at
(732) 617-0100 and she will arrange for a member of TAC to come to your home and
assist you.
Thank you to Ted Ernst, Recreation Director and Denise Barry, Senior Citizen
Director, who, along with Linda Dugan and Rosemary Pascale, do a wonderful job
ensuring that our senior programs are the best around. I look forward to seeing you
at the many future events planned .
Very truly yours,
Jonathan L. Hornik , Mayor
