Township Council Vice President Vince Calcagno presided over the final meeting of his remarkable 20+ year career in public service Thursday and received a "Key to the City," a Council Resolution and a Proclamation from Mayor Dave Fried.
More fitting, the Robbinsville Senior Citizen Center, built in 1991 due in large part to the enormous efforts of Mr. Calcagno and countless others, has been re-named the Vincent J. Calcagno Senior Center!

The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program collected the toys from the fire station that were donated over the past month for children in need during the holiday season. The response from the community was overwhelming, and the RTFD thanks everyone for helping to make the holiday season special for others. It would also like to thank the Men's Club @ Renaissance/Cranbury Crossing for collecting toys and delivering them. Unfortunately, the RTFD can no longer accept additional toys and they will not be collected. If anyone still wishes to donate, please reach out to a local charity.
Again, thank you to all who donated!

RTPD Chief Chris Nitti, who is retiring on December 31, received a well-deserved "Key to the City" and a Proclamation for his 28 years of exemplary service to our Township from Mayor Dave Fried and Administrator Joy Tozzi Thursday.
Chief Nitti began his law enforcement career as a dispatcher for then-Washington Township at the age of 18 and has become one of the most trusted and widely respected employees the Township has ever known. All of us in Robbinsville wish Chris, his wife Kelly and their two boys nothing but health, happiness and memories!

The "C.A.R.E. Car" officially became part of the Community Addiction Recovery Effort Thursday thanks to the work of a slew of people, including East Coast Emergency Lighting's Michael Minucci, Rizwan Afzal of MAACO Auto Body in Windsor and Darlene Barnes of Cranbury Custom Lettering. Each helped expertly outfit the Dodge Charger, which was about to be decommissioned. It will now be used to raise more awareness for C.A.R.E. and the fight against opiate/opioid addiction.

FOOD FOR PHOTOS GIVING BACK |

Jen Davis, center, once again donated the proceeds ($500) from the recent "Food for Photos" event to Robbinsville Meals on Wheels, a program near and dear to her.

AND THE NUMBER IS ... 8,225
