Elmora Youth League
In one simple word, phenomenal. No one could have imagined back in 1974 when Elmora Youth league was inaugurated that we would still be here and thriving. For the past 50 seasons Elmora Youth League (EYL) has taken pride in serving the surrounding communities which include Eizabeth, Roselle, Roselle Park, Hillside, Union, Linden, and Rahway.
Looking back, In 1974, a group of parents set out to provide recreation activities for the youth in the City of Elizabeth. Eugene Ahearn is credited as the league founder. First to join him in his venture to start the organization were Jim Dembeck and Tony Saluccio. By distributing flyers and holding the first meeting for Elmora Youth League in School 21, they recruited more parents to come out and volunteer. The first executive board was formed with Gen Ahearn as the League President and 13 other parents.
