Mayor: Beavertown David Runfeldt Editor: Borough Clerk Journal Volume 14 Issue 9 From the Desk of Mayor David Runfeldt , 2008 The summer of 2008 is rapidly drawing to a close. The last few months have been filled with talk of decreased state funding, taxes, budget cuts and property revaluations. I’d like to take this time to discuss what a great summer we have had around Lincoln Park, including many programs and events that we have never had before. The following is a sort of

“What I did (or could have been doing) On My .” I hope that many of you were able to participate in some of these great programs. For those that didn’t, please keep them in mind for next year. INSIDE THIS ISSUE: P.A.L. kicked off the summer (actually it was spring, but it was so good it’s worth mentioning again) with their Baseball Library Corner…………………….2 and Softball Opening Day festivities. This event gets better and better each year. Great seasons of soccer, and now cheerleading and football followed. Police News Health Dept. Clinic Dates………….3

Free Rabies Clinic Once again, the Lincoln Park American Legion Post 279 sponsored a wonderful Parade and ceremony to honor and remember those in our Armed Forces. Bd. Of Education News Mayors 5K Run Our Police Department ran the most successful “Junior Police Academy” yet. There were a record number of 11-15 LP Seniors year old “cadets” that participated this year. Due to the success of the program, there is talk of running two different September Calendar...……………..4 sessions next year. Also keep in mind the upcoming Academies for High School and adult participants. CROP Walk ……………………….5 Troop 76 Notes The Fire Department held the first “Career Day” for its younger members.

Of course, our Parks and Recreation Department was very busy this summer enhancing the usual programs and adding Town-Wide Garage Sale………18-19 new ones. The Elm Street Park was totally replaced with new equipment and available this summer. A multi-sport Pending Legislation………………..20 camp was held to increase interest in various sports. The Lake was opened earlier this year than ever before and an- other “Summer Blast” party was held there for the whole family. We also had our first adult night at the lake and our first family movie night. Each of these first time programs were a tremendous success, and if you missed them make sure that you get there next year! Coming up this month will be Lincoln Park’s first ever town-wide yard sale. LINCOLN PARK DAY The Mayor’s Wellness Campaign has received a gift from a borough resident to completely refurbish our tennis courts and lighting. Next summer, we will now be able to expand our tennis program in an effort to combat childhood obe- sity. The Second Annual Beavertown Fall 5K Run will be held November 1st. This year, proceeds from the run will be SEPTEMBER given to the Parent Teacher Organizations of the Lincoln Park Elementary and Middle schools. 27TH!!!
