Kenilworth Mayor’s Message

February 2019

Hello Kenilworthians, as February rolls in, it would seem like winter is finally here. On a good note we are not far off from Spring! Please remember to bundle up when going outside in inclement weather and check in on your elderly or sick neighbors.

If any residents have not received their 2019 Information Guide or may have misplaced it, one can be obtained at Borough Hall in the Clerk’s office. Also, there is a free app available for your smartphones called Recycle Coach, it has the entire Borough DPW calendar and it will even send you reminders. Not sure how to dispose of an old TV, furniture or batteries? Recycle Coach will provide an answer.

Please check in with our web site kenilworthBorough.com for events and goings on throughout the Borough ugh, as always, the month will be busy. Speaking of busy, go on the kenilworthlibray.com page and check out some of the exiting new events and happenings as well as the continued programs for young and old alike. Director Ruiz and all the people working at our Library do an outstanding job! We are lucky to have such a dedicated group, keep up the good work!

Reminder, February 14 is Valentine’s Day, and there is a wealth of shops and businesses from which to make that special someone’s day. Especially Yours Florist is on 20th street and I don’t have to tell you about the numerous places to take that someone out to a great dinner or lunch!

I want to thank everyone out there that is doing something to make this town better, every little bit helps. Also thank you to the Kenilworthians who have brought forth your comments, thoughts and ideas on multiple issues throughout the Borough. The success of any town starts with the people who work and live in it, the more you communicate and be a part of it, the stronger it will be. Many wonderful people are volunteering their valuable time and giving back to the community. The idea is to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

In conclusion, I would like to talk about the most the most important thing you can do and oddly enough for some it is the hardest. Kenilworthians, take care of ….. yourself. Health and Happiness in mind and body, with all the things you have going on in your life, the job, the bills, the activities, the rough times. Health is often overlooked. A good longtime friend recently had an issue with his heart; he is only 52, way too young. I am hoping and praying for his speedy recovery and looking forward to having a few more salads and a few less steaks with him as we grow old together and watch our children drive us crazy. Life is too damn short, cherish the moments and be grateful for what we have.

God Bless you all and God Bless America.
