The Mayor and Council presented awards to Kelly and Rebecca, inscribed "Thank You . . . . For truly special service, by creating a warm and engaging environment for all our senior citizens" Mayor Mironov stated, that while the elected officials constructed and expanded the Township senior center to provide a great modern facility, it is Kelly and Rebecca that have done such an amazing job in making the center operational for all of our seniors and creating a vibrant, interesting and welcoming home with a wide array of wonderful activities, programs, entertainment, social events and trips. Seniors have a place to learn, engage in discussions, exercise, obtain information on financial and health related matters, have fun, make new friends, and just hang out to read a book or watch television. We are all so proud and grateful for the exceptional good work by Kelly and Rebecca on behalf of our Township, complimented by our many super volunteers, and boast the East Windsor Senior Center as one of the best in the entire state.
