Two weeks ago I was confirmed by Verona's Town Manager, Mayor and Council Members as an official member of the Verona Environmental Commission. I wanted to share this wonderful news and my commitment as a volunteer. I've been involved in many projects with the VEC since I first met them back in June asking why there were no "No Idling" signs at my daughter's school. I quickly realize that constructive work is needed and if you are willing to help you are very welcomed in Verona to do so. We made a presentation about vehicle idling, and a poster contest. We exhibited the posters at the schools and at the Verona Library. The Award Ceremony took place at Town Hall and of course, we got the signs at the school. Now we organized an exhibit at the Essex County Environmental Center in Roseland. Please see the information below, I hope you can make it!
