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
