East Windsor Accepting Nominations For Senior Citizen Award

EAST WINDSOR, NJ — Mayor Janice Mironov and the Township Council are accepting nominations for the annual Sylvia Weiss Senior Citizen Award for Outstanding Service as a Volunteer.

The Award is given to a senior citizen who has exhibited outstanding service through community volunteerism in schools, religious institutions, service organizations or directly to the public.

The award is named after Sylvia Weiss, a former East Windsor Township Council Member, past Council senior citizen advisor and chairperson of the Commission on Aging, who was instrumental in the original formation of the senior citizen program.

Mironov said the award was a “wonderful vehicle to recognize an outstanding senior in the community and to honor Weiss.”

The award will be presented at a township ceremony in May, as part of older Americans Month.

Nominees must be at least 60 years old and residents of East Windsor. They should be people who are outstanding volunteers in the community. Such service may be on behalf of senior citizens, the schools, churches, service organizations and/or the general public. This service may be in leadership or in direct service.

Local residents and organizations are encouraged to support a senior citizen for this honor. The deadline to submit a nomination is Friday, April 16.

A form is available for submission of nominees, and must be sent to:
Sylvia Weiss Senior Volunteer Award Attn:
Mayor Janice Mironov and Council Members,
