Please go to our website at Kenilworthborough.com for other events and useful info. THANK YOU to all the Kenilworthians who have volunteered throughout the year. I understand it’s hard sometimes with the busy schedules to make some events or to participate, but I know all your hearts are in it. This Community is second to none in that aspect. That is what makes Kenilworth and its people great…You the people. Our Nation can learn a lesson by seeing how we all come together to make Kenilworth what it is, one of the best communities to live and work in.
Please make sure to stop by our wonderful businesses and shops and visit often their success is Kenilworth’s success!
A final thought, I hear how at this time of year people feel overwhelmed even disheartened. Don’t let obstacles and fear consume you and take hold of your hearts. Be kind to others, be respectful, carry a message of positive encouragement, not only to others but to yourself. Have Faith and Believe in the good things that can happen. Live Christmas not just one day but all year around (A little Charles Dickens for you) the positive karma you project will come back tenfold.
God Bless you all and God Bless America
Mayor Anthony DuLuca
