=====================================================
Lincoln Park
was recently

Campaign as
the
thirteenth
community in
the state to
receive
designation

Jersey
Healthy Town."

active
participation

Mayors
Wellness
Campaign.
I am proud
that
Lincoln Park
has been
honored with
the
distinction
of being a Mayors Wellness
Campaign
Healthy
Town.
Only
2% of all
the towns in New Jersey have been able to achieve this
superior
ranking.
Since
2007, our
community
has been
very active
in promoting
wellness for
all
residents,
and it is a
credit to
our
citizens'
hard work
that we now
receive this
recognition.
There
are many
organizations
and
individuals
who can take
great
satisfaction
in knowing
they helped
us achieve
this lofty
goal.
Janet
Cassidy of
the Parks &
Recreation
Department
and Kathy
Skrobala
from the
Health
Department
along with
Administration,
DPW, Police,
Fire, First
Aid, CERT
and nearly
every
borough
employee
have played
a part in
the programs
and events
that we have
run and the
facilities
which we
maintain.
I
would like
to
especially
thank all of
the
residents
who have
helped so
much.

& Triathlon
Committees

spent many
hours

manned the
