Serve with Senator Singleton

Cleaning Up Riverside Baseball Fields


April is National Volunteer Month, a time when we can show our appreciation to our volunteers and encourage volunteerism. It is in this spirit that we are using this as an opportunity to help our friends in Riverside get ready for the spring and summer baseball season.
For our April “Serve with Senator Singleton” event, we will partner with the Riverside Youth Athletic Association to help prepare and clean their baseball fields for the upcoming season. Volunteers will be asked to help clean the fields of weeds, leaves and debris, as well as help set-up the concession stands. This event will be held on Saturday, April 6, 2019 at Whomsley Field on American Legion Drive in Riverside and we are asking volunteers to help from 10am-12pm.
The Riverside Youth Athletic Association runs recreational sports activities for Riverside youth. It believes that youth sports should prove to be fun and exciting for all players, families, and friends alike. It encourages all involved to play competitively, but at all times maintain the integrity of the Riverside Youth Athletic Association's Charter which simply stated is, "a place for parents and children to work and play together."
We are seeking 20 volunteers, so please RSVP today.
WHEN: April 06, 2019 at 10am - 12pm
WHERE: Whomsley Field
American Legion Dr
Riverside, NJ 08075

2019 Military Walk of Honor

During our meeting last week we introduced the 2019 Military Walk of
Honor that the Riverside Historical Society will be coordinating in cooperation with the township!
  
Banners (like the one shown here) will be installed along Scott and
Pavillion in time for the Memorial Day Parade. Banner sponsorships are
available to our members as well as the public for $100 however spaces
are limited. If you would like to commemorate an active duty or veteran service person, please print out the form shown here (or pickup one Thursdays from 10a-12p) and submit your check to 10
Zurbrugg Way Riverside, NJ 08075. You will also need to scan a 5"x7"
or larger image and send to riversidehistoricalsocietynj@gmail.com (no
pictures taken from phone please). All other information is included
on sponsorship form.
 
Please note: THIS IS NOT A FUNDRAISER; all money goes to the creation
of the banner and a 11x14 framed image of the banner for the sponsor
to keep. Our organization would simply like to honor those Riverside
residents who have served and facilitate this Military Walk of Honor.

Please email Brittany Rae at riversidehistoricalsocietynj@gmail.com
with any questions or concerns. Sponsorships will be taken on a first
come, first serve basis as they are received. All sponsorships will be
due by April 15th or as spaces are available. Send your $100 check
first to reserve a sponsorship (banner and 1 framed image) and dictate
if you would like an addition framed image. Those will be sold at an additional cost once all orders are in and we will contact you again. 
Thank you in advance to those who would like to sponsor and we look forward to seeing these on display!"
