Always so many great things that keep me happy, and seeing how excited local people are getting over the Knights of Columbus and the borough celebrating the borough’s 125th anniversary at the Twin Lights is just one of them . Great to see the enthusiasm of the committee putting together the October 12 celebrations at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Borough Hall and the Twin Lights and hearing all the ideas coming out of a committee that represents just about every club, organization and historic and beautification group in the borough.
Cheers to Mike Napalotino for the idea and inviting everyone to join in and celebrate. It will be great to see the flag the Knights designed and are presenting to the borough to honor its’125th anniversary.
Great thinking on the part of Mayor Broullon to arrange for a shuttle so folks who don’t want to, or can’t drive or get to the Highlands Day events going on this weekend at the Community Center. The Shuttle is making several stops through town and offering the service both to and from the Community Center several times throughout the 5:30 to 10:30 p.m.event. Sounds like the Community Center is going to be filled with lots of great music, great food, and happy people celebrating, and thanks to the mayor’s advance planning so many seniors who otherwise would not be able to get there can now participate. It’s an annual even but this year’s sounds better than ever!
Also great to see a hard working Public Works Department. Spence Carpenter had his team out early posting signs and beginning to paint striping and parking places along Shore Drive from Miller to Bay, Avenues. To those of us who remember that was all once the Jersey Central railroad tracks it’s especially great to see how well kept the road is. Nice to see how the borough also sweeps all its roads on a regular basis, including Bay Avenue which, as a county road, the county should certainly be doing. Thank a Public Works employee next time you see one.
Also thrilled to see the heightened interest in the history in and around the borough of Highlands, not only in anticipation of the 250th anniversary net year but also because of the borough’s 125th. Jo-anne Olszewski and her hardworking and very enthusiastic team are putting together a smashing musical which is bound to garner attention far beyond Highlands. Hear Cranston Dean has lots more talent in music besides the rock and classic music his band is known for.
If it sounds like there are a lot of things about Highlands that make me happy, then you get the message! Though not a native myself, I certainly knew a good thing when I got married and my husband introduced me to all the great things about his hometown. These are memories never to be forgotten…. best place in the world to raise our family!
