When Irish Eyes Are Smiling.....

....and they were indeed smiling at the 2013 Grand Marshal Sister Mary Trinity Kenny's Dinner & Celebration of Irish Culture in Northern New Jersey.

World of Wings....

...in Teaneck was a wonderful venue to host a luncheon with representatives of the National GOP, the Korean American business community and elected officials to speak with the press about a variety of topical issues.

Doing it for the kids!!

A Groundbreaking Ceremony for the future Bergen County Special Services Education Center

Respect for our elders...

...was reinforced today as Sheriff Saudino and I visited senior centers in Palisades Park and Ridgefield. My special musical request of Danny Boy was a bit of a stretch, but we were entertained nonetheless.

The college student minds of today....

....are knowledgeable, inquisitive and tough. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the students at Ramapo College in Mahwah. A special thanks goes out to Chris Gabbett for setting it up and for his generous introduction!

Talking Turkey....

.....Along with our Turkish-American friends, Bergen County celebrated the 90th anniversary of the declaration of the independence of Turkey with a flag raising and proclamation. It is called Cumhuriyet Bayramı, the Republic Day. Turkish food was served after the ceremony that simply capped off a wonderful celebration!!

This is what government should be doing!

An Evening of Elegance

Congratulations once again to all the honorees!!

Two great ladies of Bergen County...

...were honored at Fairleigh Dickinson University for what they have done to promote diversity. First was Theodora Lacey who was and continues to be a great leader in the struggle for civil rights and second Joy Kurland, for her leadership in the interfaith community. Both women are good friends of mine and I can attest that their recognition was unquestionably well deserved. 

Learning never ends....

....Enjoyed a wonderful morning at the Fort Lee Senior Center. Several of the Seniors stated that they, of course, heard about the Freeholders but never really knew what we did nor how the title of Freeholder came about. Now they do.

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs...

....This was the message Sheriff Saudino and I brought to our hard working union supporters.
