The Mayoral Proclamation, noting that, “volunteerism is one of the basic traits in the American character, National Volunteer Week was established in 1974 to recognize and honor the generous people who volunteer their time and services to an organization or cause to help better our communities,” recognizes that, “the Senior Center Volunteers help in the development, coordination and integration of the various programs and services available to senior citizens.” The Proclamation continues, “the East Windsor Township Senior Center Volunteers realize the important part of giving back to their senior community by volunteering to assist in classes, games, arts and crafts, reading, exercise programs, special events and many other activities, in addition to the Mercer County Nutrition Project, which serves lunch to more than 70 seniors daily,” and “expresses appreciation to our volunteers for their excellent and dedicated efforts to the East Windsor community.” Mayor Mironov continued, “The East Windsor Senior Center Volunteers help to oversee senior center operations, including office needs, coordinating and assisting with senior programs and events, and offering direct volunteering to other seniors. The Senior Center volunteers are indispensable to the ability of the Township to operate the Center and offer the broad array of services and activities for our senior community. We treasure and appreciate all of our wonderful caring volunteers and their tremendous contributions to our Township.”
