1. "Sylvia Weiss Senior Citizen Award for Outstanding Service as a Volunteer" for 2024 Awarded to Terry Goldstein by Mayor Janice S. Mironov and Council Members. Terry Goldstein, a longtime Township resident, has been a dedicated and valued volunteer for many years in the Senior Center and beyond. He is a well-recognized figure among the seniors, due to his extensive involvement in so many of the Center's programs and operations, including hosting the Trivia activities, moderating (sometimes "refereeing") the Current Events Club, as a member and performer with the newly formed Senior Center Magic Club, helps set up and oversee Center party events, and assists with early morning sign-ups for the popular Center trips. Terry always makes himself available to lend a hand to anyone who needs assistance. Beyond the Senior Center, for many years, Terry has been a member of the Wheaton Pointe Senior Development Board of Trustees, Vice President of the Friends of the Twin River Library, member of the Juvenile Conference Committee Mercer Vicinage, East Windsor Community Garden participant, volunteer with The Watershed Institute and participant in the annual stream clean-ups at Etra Lake Park, and has been involved for ten years with the Trenton Art All Night Program. 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 was 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. Congratulations to Terry Goldstein on his outstanding well-deserved recognition!

8. East Windsor Holds "All About Joel" Concert on Sunday, July 21 at 6 P.M. at Etra Lake Park. "All About Joel" is a musical tribute conceived and presented with a tremendous amount of detail by Long Island veteran singer/piano player David Clark. He continues to gain attention and popularity across the country with stunningly accurate piano playing, lead vocals, and an eerily similar stage look to the Piano Man himself while engaging the audience with wit and humor. Having been a part of the Long Island & NY area music scene since 1985, he has carved out a solid reputation as a piano player, singer, and performer at countless private events and concerts around the country. In the case of inclement weather the concert will be moved to Melvin H. Kreps School.
