Dear Neighbor:
Although I am writing this letter and the temperature reads 90 degrees, school has begun
which means that fall and then winter is right around the corner. I hope you were able to
get to the Recreation Summer Concert Series for some great music and fantastic fireworks.
We just celebrated Marlboro Day with a 30-plus year tradition of family fun for thousands of
attendees. It is truly my favorite event of the year. Regardless of the season, our
Recreation Department never stops working to ensure that there is a wide variety of
programs available to residents. I am pleased to present the Department of Recreation
program brochure for Fall/Winter 2015/2016 complete with returning favorites and new
programs for all ages.
To access these great offerings, take advantage of on-line program registration which gives
residents a convenient way to register for recreation programs right from home at any time.
The e-brochure is easily accessible on the home page of the Township website throughout
the year. Of course, if you prefer, please visit the Recreation Center to register in person or
to pick up a printed brochure.
Updates regarding recreation events and issues of interest can be obtained through Email
Notices, Reverse 911, Facebook and Twitter. Please visit our website at www.marlboronj.gov and click the blue "Communications for Residents" button on our home page. These
paperless options are a convenient and cost effective way to quickly disseminate important
information to residents, even when power outages and weather emergencies affect us.
Thanks to Recreation Department Head, Ted Ernst, and the entire recreation staff for their
commitment to making Marlboro’s Recreation program outstanding. The Department is
guided by the Recreation and Swim Advisory Committee headed by Eric Cohen, who, along
with the other Committee members, selflessly dedicates countless hours, time and energy
to make Recreation more successful year after year.
I encourage everyone to take advantage of the wonderful recreation opportunities offered in
our Town and enjoy the programs which help make Marlboro a great community to live,
work and raise a family.
Sincerely,
Jonathan L. Hornik
Mayor

PARENT WORKSHOPS
My Children or My Career – Do I really have to choose?
Speaker: Dr. Judy Kramer
Do you worry that a successful career means you won’t have enough time for your family? Or do you worry
that devoting time to being the best parent you can be means your career will suffer? All this worrying can
lead to stress. The more stressed you are the greater the likelihood that you might be impatient or perhaps
even insensitive to your children.
Join us at this interactive workshop and learn how to create balance in your life and how to keep your cool
even when under pressure.
Date: Wednesday, October 28, 2015 Time: 7:00PM
Place: Marlboro Recreation Building
Please call 732-617-0186 to reserve a seat or e-mail drugalliance@marlboro-nj.gov
Refreshments will be served.
When Children Push Our Buttons
Speaker: Dr. Judy Kramer
Let’s face it, we’ve all been there. Whether you are the parent of an eighteen month old or an eighteen
year old there are those days when your child “pushes your buttons”. As a parent it is easy to lose your
temper. Sometimes you may even wonder what happened to your child. Is it a phase, a bad attitude or
perhaps you think it’s something you said or did?
Join us at this interactive workshop as we discuss how to react in a way that you will not later regret.
Learn how to gain control over your emotions and react calmly and effectively.
Date: Wednesday, December 2, 2015
Time: 10:00AM
Place: Marlboro Recreation Building
Please call 732-617-0186 to reserve a seat or e-mail drugalliance@marlboro-nj.gov
Parent Forums
Parents and caregivers please join us for an open forum.
Sometimes it’s nice to get advice from an expert and sometimes you just need to hear what another parent has done that
has worked. The goal of our parent forums is to openly discuss parenting issues by sharing our thoughts, successes, and
the challenges of caring for ourselves and our children. By sharing experiences, both positive and negative we can
support each other and achieve the desired outcomes we want.
Please check the Alliance website and Facebook page for dates and times or call 732-617-0186.

TOWNSHIP
YOUTH
EXCHANGE
The Marlboro Township Youth Exchange Program was founded in 1991 when our
town forged a partnership with Nanto City in Japan. In 2011 it expanded to include a
partnership with Wujiang, China.
As part of the program, Marlboro students welcome their peers from these
countries into their homes for a fun-filled week of activities. Host children then have the
opportunity to travel to the country of the students that they hosted for a one week
homestay in our sister city as well as additional travel to further learn and understand
the country and culture.
This program has provided meaningful multicultural and educational experiences
for hundreds of students and their families who have participated from our town and
abroad and has enabled people in the community to act as responsible global citizens,
working for peace and understanding in a diverse world.
Marlboro Township is now accepting applications for host families to participate in
this cultural exchange as well as seeking committee members and volunteers.
For information, visit
http://www.marlboro-nj.gov/Youth_Exchange.html
Or email Marlboro Township Youth Exchange
YouthExchange@marlboro-nj.gov
In your email, please provide a phone number where you can be reached
and indicate if you are interested participating in both Sister Cities
programs or preference for one.
