Mayor Dalina Thanks Monroe Residents for Cooperation During Snowstorm

Dear Residents of Monroe Township,



On behalf of our entire municipal team, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each of you for your cooperation, patience, and incredible neighborly spirit during last week's snowstorm - the most significant we've experienced in decades.

While the snow was challenging, it revealed once again the true character our community. Throughout the storm and its aftermath, neighbors stepped up to help neighbors.

From clearing driveways and sidewalks, to checking in on each other, sharing equipment, and offering a helping hand whenever it was needed, you demonstrated what makes Monroe Township such a special place to call home.

I also want to recognize and thank our first responders, Office of Emergency Management (OEM), public works crews, and all essential personnel who worked around the clock to keep our community safe and restore normal operations as quickly as possible. Their dedication, along with your understanding and cooperation, made a meaningful difference for our entire

community.

Storms of this magnitude are rare, but your commitment to our community is constant. We are stronger when we work together and you have proven that time and time again. I am proud to serve as your Mayor and I'm deeply grateful for the way our community came together during this significant weather event. Please continue to look out for one another, and do not hesitate

to reach out if you need assistance.

With gratitude,

Stephen Dalina
