Play Ball!

Another sure sign of Spring is the annual South Orange/Maplewood Baseball Parade. This year, I was honored to join the local elected officials in leading the parade from Columbia High School, down Valley Street and ending at the baseball diamond in Memorial Park. I was so impressed with the amazing turnout and seeing how many of our kids participate in the Baseball program. Hats off to everyone who coordinated the event, as well as to everyone who participated. This is a great example of how our two communities can join together to share a community service, right down to the throwing of the first pitch by both Mayor Pettis and Village President Newman. Let's hope this is the start of much more cooperation and sharing of services to come!
