First
Ward Residents Share Gift of Giving
In
the true spirit of Christmas, residents of the First Ward are
being asked by Commissioner Michael Fulginiti to share their good
fortunes with neighbors in need. Families or individuals who are
unable to afford their own holiday gifts should be identified
prior to Christmas, with assurances that the names of all
recipients and donors will be kept confidential.
“As
a ward, I would like to coordinate the collection and distribution
of gifts
|
to anonymous families this
holiday season,” Fulginiti announced in November. “If you know
of a family that is in need in the First Ward, please call or
email me – their names will not be released. I would also ask
anyone that would like to donate or distribute food, gifts or
other donated items to contact me as well.
“At this time of year we feel
so blessed to be with our families and celebrate the holidays, but
there are some in our own neighborhoods who do not feel this joy.
We would like to begin a tradition of helping our neighbors. We
would like to help as many families as possible, but this depends
on the support that we receive from the First Ward.”

Neumann Students Welcomed
A
group of about a dozen Neumann College journalism students were
recognized and applauded for their attendance at commissioners’
Nov.19 meeting, which was part of their studies.
“What
did you do to deserve to come to this exciting meeting?”
Commissioner President Joseph Possenti quipped. “We appreciate
your being here. If you have any questions of us that could help
you with your class, let us know,” he offered.

Help
Keep Community Center Clean
The
maintenance man at the Aston Community Center is making a simple
and earnest plea to the township residents who use the facility: Please
do not litter on the grounds. The front door area is a popular
smoking area for visitors, which
|
has
to be cleaned up by staff. Thank you for your cooperation in
keeping the Community Center beautiful.
