acting.
One of the visions from their
mission statement reads: “To give
back to the community through
four main charitable events per
year (e.g. fall backpack drive, winter toy drive, etc.) as well as to participate in town events such as
Hammonton Town Cleanup days,
Third Thursdays, and through dif-
ferent charitable organizations
throughout the Hammonton area.”
“We want the group to be appealing to people. When new people move to town, I want them to
think about civic groups like ours
that they can get involved in,”
Travia said.
“I’m a student at Stockton University studying social work, so I
know how important it is to get in-
volved in the community. I want to
continue giving back and doing
more charity work,” Grasso said.
The commission offered their
full support and told the women to
come to them with any requests
they may need, specifically for use
of facilities throughout the town.

Jerome Barberio said that although
there may be some small details
that need to be worked out regarding insurance policies, the group
should be able to begin involving
themselves in any town events
they see fit.
The newly-renovated bathrooms
at Hammonton Lake Park are expected to be completed and
opened sometime within the next
number of weeks. Barberio provided a brief update on a number
of ongoing tasks throughout town.
“We’ll start cleaning up the
parks this week. We needed to get
through bulky and brush week.
We’re going to be doing the landscaping and the mowing ourselves
this year with a couple of seasonal
employees. All the equipment has
been serviced and is ready to go.
There is a request for an additional
mower that we will discuss,” Barberio said.
Barberio continued by presenting a number of applications for
the use of facilities throughout
town during the next few months
