Highlands Meet & Greet
The Mayor and Council as well as officials and employees of other organizations and committees will meet and greet borough residents and other interested guests Monday, April 8 at 6:30 p.m. at the Highlands Borough Hall on Navesink Avenue.
Mayor Carolyn Broullon plans this second annual event to give residents an opportunity to know borough employees in an informal session. Since last year’s event was so well received, it was planned once again, and this year gives residents an opportunity to visit the new borough hall as well.
Present with the Highlands mayor and council will be the administrative staff and department supervisors, along with representatives of local organizations and businesses.
“We encourage everyone to come and meet their neighbors and the people who work for them,” the mayor said, noting it is also an opportunity to visit the new borough hall and become more familiar with the offices and where to go for assistance for specific needs.
All ages are invited to attend the April 8 get together. Following the format, which was popular last year, each entity will have a ‘station’ for the evening in borough hall, with information on their specific duties or missions.
Refreshments will also be served to continue the casual atmosphere of a get-together evening. “It’s a great way to have more interaction with all involved in making Highlands a special place,” the Mayor said.
Highlands has always been a special place, Gertrude Ederle practiced under the bridge as the currents best replicated the English Channel, my Grandfather came to the United States at 16 and settled there-opening a business, our churches were beautiful and welcoming. And Bahrs restaurant was our special dining spot!
Thank you Mayor this is a wonderful idea!
