The history of Audubon Park goes back to the beginning of the second World War. The town was called Audubon Village and was part of the Borough of Audubon. Workers for the New York Shipbuilding Corp, located in Camden, NJ needed housing for their families.

For those who have sacrificed their lives
so that we may be free -

We remember you, we honor you, we love you and we humbly thank you for your service. A simple "thank you" is not enough for all that you've endured. We pray that you live on through the loving memories shared by your family and loved ones. We pray that the strife, battles and wounds of war be calmed for eternity in God's loving grace. May you find rest at last and know that those left behind cherish your spirit, honor your commitment, send their love and will never forget your sacrifice.

Memorial Day has come to mean the beginning of summer, a time for picnics and barbecues, and a holiday to gather around the family. That happiness and freedom, however, is a product of the real cause for the holiday: the sacrifice made by men and women who have fought and died for the freedoms and liberties Americans hold dear. Memorial Day is a time to remember that the American way of life is not cheap but rather has been purchased by the lives and blood of so many who have sacrificed for us to live free and happily now.

Not only have many of our residents, past and present, served in our nation's military but our small town has played a strong role in the freedoms of our country. As many of you know this town was built to provide housing to the patriots that served and worked at the shipyard. President Ronald Reagan once said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."

On behalf of the Borough Council and myself, I would like to thank everyone for taking a few moments out of their busy schedules to honor our military men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in past and present wars, to protect our freedom and help to spread democracy throughout the world. We also honor our active troops who provide for our safety here and in many countries around the world. We pray for the thousands who are still missing in the wars of our country. In the military tradition; no one is left behind on the field of battle. Our nation will always be determined to account for the missing.

America has always been the reluctant warrior, but we are a nation of character, always willing to defend the weak, assist the humbled and lead the world in the pursuit of democracy and freedom. This burden has always been shouldered by the men and women in the military.

Let's remember on this day of honor, those that protect and have protected our great country, defended our freedom and made the ultimate sacrifice so that we all can live as we do today; free.

OFFICE OF THE MAYOR

November 10, 2023

Dear Friends, Neighbors and Residents,

I would like to take a few moments to bring you up to speed on a few things that have come through my desk. First off, we have completed our 2022 Audit. I am proud to say that no recommendations for improvement were made by our Auditor and the State of New Jersey. Nothing is more important to me then being the guardian of your tax dollars. I would like to thank our financial advisor, Jack Bruno, my office staff, Dawn, Jamesen and Cyndi for their contributions. Secondly, we are close to completing the resurfacing of Pelican Drive. I would like to thank all the residents on Pelican for their patience and understanding and a special thanks to SCUCS for allowing our residents to park in their lot during this process. I realize that this is a temporary inconvenience for the residents who live on the streets we are paving, but in the end, it is worth it. Key Engineers and I are already laying the groundwork for future streets.

As we have in the past few years, you will once again receive your 2024 Municipal Calendar providing you with all the necessary information for the services supplied to you by the Borough, your governing body.

Starting on Monday, November 13, 2023, the members of Mayor, Borough Council and our office staff will be attending the New Jersey State League of Municipalities convention in Atlantic City. The Mayor, the Municipal Clerk and her Deputy will begin classes on November 13th, followed by the members of Council on Tuesday, November 14th through Thursday, November 16th. Attending these classes allows our office staff to accumulate credits towards their state required licenses. Classes attended by Mayor & Council allows us to offer you a stronger council as well as reductions in the cost of yearly insurance premiums. As Mayor, I also use this platform to build relationships with communities throughout New Jersey to provide you with up-to-date information to make our town stronger.

Finally, I’m sad to acknowledge the passing of resident and former long-term Board of Trustee President, John Monteleon this past week. John served many years as both a member of trustees and as their president. On behalf of Borough Council and the residents of Audubon Park, I wish John’s family and friends our deepest sympathies. God Bless John Monteleon.

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

Sincerely,

Mayor Pennock
