Mayor's Greetings! | ¡Saludos del Alcalde!

Dear Jazz,


During the month of May, we celebrate Mother’s Day, and with that in mind, we’d like to place focus on our mothers this month. We thank every mom in our city for the love, support, and guidance that they give not only to their household but also to their community. Raising our children is a full-time job that requires patience, love, and nurturing. As they prepare the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and doers, they need our support and unwavering respect. Motherhood is a position that does not take vacations or sick time but puts aside personal aches and pains to ensure that all is well within the home before laying down to rest. To all our moms, we revere you and thank you for all you do!

 

As we welcome May, the flowers are blooming once again, the weather is getting warmer, and families are ready to put aside the memories of another winter and enjoy the community activities planned for the Queen City. Children and adults are back for tennis lessons; families are eagerly planning their Mother’s Day celebrations, and cyclists from all over the world will soon meet on Watchung Avenue to participate in the NJ State Cycling Championship. Plainfield is bustling with the energy that only Spring can bring, and there are fun and exciting opportunities to get in community spirit and enjoy all that Plainfield has to offer. Read this newsletter to get details and dates of planned events and activities and find the resources you may need.

Mayor Adrian O. Mapp


Durante el mes de mayo, celebramos el Día de la Madre y, con eso en mente, nos gustaría centrarnos en nuestras madres este mes. Agradecemos a todas las mamás de nuestra ciudad por el amor, el apoyo y la orientación que brindan no solo a su hogar sino también a su comunidad. Criar a nuestros hijos es un trabajo de tiempo completo que requiere paciencia, amor y cariño. Mientras preparan a la próxima generación de líderes, pensadores y emprendedores, necesitan nuestro apoyo y respeto inquebrantable. La maternidad es una posición que no toma vacaciones ni tiempo por enfermedad, sino que deja de lado los dolores y molestias personales para asegurarse de que todo esté bien dentro del hogar antes de acostarse a descansar. ¡A todas nuestras mamás, las reverenciamos y les agradecemos por todo lo que hacen!



Mientras damos la bienvenida a mayo, las flores florecen una vez más, el clima se vuelve más cálido y las familias están listas para dejar de lado los recuerdos de otro invierno y disfrutar de las actividades comunitarias planificadas para Queen City. Niños y adultos están de vuelta para las clases de tenis; las familias están planeando ansiosamente sus celebraciones del Día de la Madre, y ciclistas de todo el mundo pronto se reunirán en Watchung Avenue para participar en el Campeonato de Ciclismo del Estado de NJ. Plainfield está lleno de la energía que solo la primavera puede traer, y hay oportunidades divertidas y emocionantes para entrar en el espíritu comunitario y disfrutar de todo lo que Plainfield tiene para ofrecer. Lea este boletín para obtener detalles y fechas de eventos y actividades planeados y encontrar los recursos que pueda necesitar.
