East Windsor Township Mayor Janice S. Mironov and Township Commission on Aging presented to Barry P. Clark the 2014 “Sylvia Weiss Senior Citizen Award for Outstanding Service as a Volunteer” at the May 20 Council Meeting.

Barry P. Clark, a longtime resident of East Windsor Township, has been involved in the life of East Windsor for some 40 years. Mr. Clark began his decades of volunteerism in 1973 as a Member and Chairperson of the East Windsor Municipal Utilities Authority, and thereafter served in many positions including Chairperson of the 1986 Charter Study Commission, Chairperson and Member of the East Windsor Economic Development Committee, Chairperson of the Township CATV Contract Renewal Committee, Chairperson and Member of the East Windsor Historic Preservation Commission, and a Member of the Township Shade Tree Commission. Since 2002, he has been a member of the East Windsor Planning Board.

Mr. Clark also serves as a Township representative to the Hightstown East Windsor Memorial Day Parade Committee and the Civil War Cannons History Committee. He has served the Township on many Mayor-appointed ad hoc committees over the past couple decades including the Route 33 Corridor Study Committee and the Township-wide Transportation Study Committee.

Mayor Mironov praised the honoree stating, “Barry is a ‘can do’ type of person, always willing to step up and help out, and is an invaluable resource for his knowledge of local history. Barry Clark, a true gentleman with a demonstrable love of East Windsor and long-term dedication to volunteerism in our community, is a shining example of how local residents can assist with municipal operations and actively support community programs and activities.”

The Sylvia Weiss Senior Citizen Award for Outstanding Service as a Volunteer, presented annually by East Windsor Township, recognizes a senior citizen who has exhibited outstanding service through volunteerism to the community by way of schools, religious institutions, service organizations or directly to the public. Sylvia Weiss is a former East Windsor Township Council Member, past Council senior citizen advisor and chairperson of the Commission on Aging and was instrumental in the original formation of the senior citizen program.
