 I believe that Woodbury Heights needs to maintain a two party system.  I have been prohibited from sitting on the other five standing committees but I have taken
my strengths and determination to best serve our community. To increase better communication I single-handedly have created the content for our Borough’s website. The Heights Highlight newsletter is completely formatted by me to save costs.  Our information card now has hours and email addresses to attain better service from your Borough workers. We also saved by putting the trash service schedule on the back of the card. I organized a public auction of Borough property so that we could reduce our assets not being used.

     I have a vested interest in both our schools and senior citizens needs. Our public facilities   have been improved to accommodate any physically disabled residents and our bus service has adjusted to the changing needs of our seniors. I am in contact with both public schools’ superintendents to keep an information flow open.

     I have a good rapport with our Borough clerks and as JIF Fund Commissioner meet with the department heads of Public Works, Police and Fire Departments at our safety meetings. This position also offers me a chance for discussion and exchange of ideas with other Fund Commissioners from our county.

     To address the future of our changing community I would like to have an opportunity to generate more support for the health concerns in our community. My experience in the pharmacy has raised my concerns for the costs of wellness. One of my goals would be to create a walking path in our Borough and give everyone a chance for improving the quality of their lives. My job as Councilwoman has enabled me to meet a lot of residents I would not normally have contact with. 

I would like to continue to receive your support.
