Weekend Update

Dear resident,

Thank you to the hundreds of residents that came out to enjoy our Winter Holiday Lighting.  Santa and friends rode into town on a firetruck much to the delight of children and parents.  Music was provided by the Marlboro High School band and chorus led by Conductor Dalton and local Clergy shared the story of the holidays lending meaning to our celebration.  We lit the Christmas Tree and Menorah and families took pictures with Santa, Dreidel and enjoyed the ‘Selfie with the Elfie’ booth. This Winter Lighting celebrates our diversity as a community and I thank all the employees who made this the magical event it was. 

A reminder that our annual Toy Drive is ongoing until December 16.  We again partner with Charity Kings to provide toys for those in need.  New, unwrapped toys may be brought to Town Hall lobby Monday to Friday during normal business hours. Thank you to the many residents who have already dropped off gifts.
