On the City’s 1st Annual Volunteer Appreciation Day breakfast that was held to recognize the many residents who volunteer their time on the various Committees/Boards/Commissions, Cathy Elliott-Shaw was voted “Volunteer of the Year” by her peers. Cathy has dedicated many years to the oversight of the environment and sustainability of the City putting in many, many hours planning the Annual Green Fairs, working hard to maintain the City’s Silver Certification under the Sustainable Jersey Program, and attending the many events held in the City throughout the year providing educational materials to the public on how each and everyone can do their part to help sustain our environment. Cathy has helped to bring many innovative ideas to the City and worked hard to have them implemented successfully, pizza box recycling, collecting used pumpkins during the fall for recycling, supporting the Girl Scouts initiative for reusable shopping bags, etc.
