RE: Audubon Mutual Housing Issue

Dear Residents:

It has come to our attention that many individuals are posting information to Facebook and unofficial Audubon Park websites that are completely inaccurate and libelous. Many of these posts are malicious and the Mayor & Borough Council may take legal action against such fictitious and defamatory postings. Although we sympathize with the financial plight of the Corporation and its’ contract holders, we would like to remind everyone that the Mayor & Borough Council are the governing body of the Borough of Audubon Park. The Audubon Mutual Housing Corporation is a private housing authority. The two are separate and distinct entities. Please be reminded that the governing body and its’ office staff are completely separate from the Corporation. The Corporation does not answer to the Borough and the Borough does not answer to the Corporation. Rest assured that all financial transactions in the Borough Office are conducted in a professional way stipulated by both Ordinance and State Law. Like all of you, we look forward to hearing from the Corporation at a future date as to how they plan to remedy their problem.

As always, I am proud to serve as a Mayor under a governing body that emphasizes complete transparency to its residents.

Sincerely,

Larry Pennock
Mayor

RE: 4th of July 2018

Dear Friends and Neighbors:

Like many of you, I was extremely disappointed that there wasn’t a 4th of July Celebration this year in Audubon Park. As Mayor, I feel an obligation to start the ball rolling for next year’s celebration. If you are interested in serving on the 4th of July Committee for 2018, please join me on July 31st at 7 PM at the Annex Building. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt thanks to those individuals that have served over the past years. Those of you that have served understand that this is a yearlong process.

For those of you that have posted a lot of negative comments on both Facebook and unofficial Audubon Park news websites, this is your opportunity to step to the plate and help out. I am disappointed that those individuals would post comments and not volunteer to help out their town. Join me at this meeting and help resurrect what has always been a wonderful celebration here in Audubon Park. If you are unable to attend but are interested in participating, please reach out to my office at the number above and leave your name and phone number.

As always, I am proud to serve as your Mayor.

Sincerely,

Larry Pennock
Mayor

Welcome to Audubon Rocks!!

This movement was started in Hamilton, NJ by an awesome art teacher who wanted to inspire children to get creative! So now the Rocks are here in Audubon Park

If you see a rock, you are welcome to take that rock or you can leave it for someone else to find it! If you take a rock, consider creating your own painted rock and replace the one you kept! Don't forget to add the hashtag #Audubon Park rocks on the back.

Lots of rocks have been painted and hidden already, and everyone is playing (kids and adults)

This is a wonderful way for families and friends to get together through our community.

Rules:

1. DO NOT take or hide a rock off of anyone's personal property

2. Smooth rocks are easier to paint.. Look around and find free rocks if you can

3. You can paint with Acrylic paint, nail polish, permanent markers, or whatever you can think of that will not wash away your design

((The rocks are shown and talked about on the Audubon Park amongst website on Facebook))

The goal is to spread creativity and smiles

You can paint an image, a pattern, an array of colors, inspirational words- anything that might brighten the day of a person who finds the rock!

All art is creative and unique

Happy painting, finding, and hiding
