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.

NJ Special Olympics Torch Run | June 11th |

On Friday, June 11th, our very own Police department participated in the NJ special Olympic Torch Run. More than three thousand officers from across the state took to the streets and ran the "Flame of Hope" throughout our Garden State. This annual Law Enforcement Fundraiser, which consisted of 26 separate routes and reached nearly 750 miles this year, is dedicated to the provision of year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities .
The handoff of the "Flame of Hope" from Scotch Plain's Police department to our officers took place at the corner of Terrill Road and Front St at approximately 12 PM.

June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month |
|
On June,1969, an uprising at Stonewall Inn ignited a liberation movement in which members from the LBTQ+ community inspired our Nation to follow through on their promise of equality, liberation, and justice for all. Pride is about being able to express oneself in both a visible jubilant communal celebration and in a personal celebration of self-worth and dignity.
"This Pride Month, we recognize the valuable contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals across America, and we reaffirm our commitment to standing in solidarity with LGBTQ+ Americans in their ongoing struggle against discrimination and injustice," as stated by President Biden.
