EAST WINDSOR, NJ — Mayor Janice S. Mironov recently recognized volunteers from the East Windsor Senior Center for their service during National Volunteer Week and presented Certificates of Appreciation for their contributions to the operations of the Senior Center.

“Each year in East Windsor Township we observe National Volunteer Week because we are very blessed to have a great number of citizens who volunteer their time, skills and talents to participate in our government, and during this time we recognize individuals who have embodied the spirit of volunteerism and have particularly contributed to the programs and activities in the Township,” Mironov said.

The Mayoral Proclamation, noted: "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."
