Dear Friends and Neighbors, |
|
This newsletter shares many upcoming events for Plainfield residents to enjoy! Over the past year most of these events were virtual so we could safely distance in our homes. As the vaccine program expands and we begin to safely co-mingle in person, we will continue to apprise you of events taking place locally and elsewhere.
We look forward to a full return to normalcy in the near future but until then please enjoy some of the events outlined in this week's issue.

Memorial Day Program | May 31, 2021 |
|
On Monday, May 31st, the City of Plainfield came together for the Annual Memorial Day Program to honor those who have fallen in service. We paid tribute to those brave men and women, who selflessly gave up their lives in order to preserve the freedom we enjoy today. We observed a moment of silence before the monument and had tributes from Mayor Adrian O. Mapp, Vice Commander Frank Coit, and other elected officials including Assemblywoman Linda Carter, Commissioner Rebecca Williams, and Council Vice President Barry Goode. Other elected officials, members of the administration, and other residents also came to show their respect and honor their memory. Reverend Paul Dean gave a heartfelt invocation, and there were musical performances by Johnny Jones on the keyboard, Ruben Salazar on guitar, and Evelin Melger singing the National Anthem. |
