'Suzanne Truly Embodies The Spirit Of' Patch Community Leader

SCOTCH PLAINS/FANWOOD, NJ — Without community leaders, Scotch Plains-Fanwood wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.
