MANCHESTER – Mayor Joseph Hankins recently met and honored a number of seniors from Cedar Glen Lakes who noted a milestone anniversary of life.
The mayor, accompanied by his confidential aide Judy Noonan, attended the annual 90+ Luncheon to honor more than 30 residents who have reached the milestone age of 90 years or older.
The celebration, hosted at the Cedar Glen Lakes Clubhouse, brought together community members, township officials, and honored guests for a heartfelt afternoon recognizing the wisdom, resilience, and contributions of some of Manchester’s most senior residents.
“It is an honor to have these remarkable individuals as part of our community. Their lives are filled with experiences and lessons that have shaped not only their families but our township as a whole. May your days continue to be filled with good health, happiness, and the knowledge that your lives have made an enduring difference,” Mayor Hankins remarked.
The afternoon began with a warm welcome from Cedar Glen Lakes Vice President Cathy Gillissie, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Vinnie Galluccio, and a thoughtful Time of Reflection delivered by Alan Czaplinski.
Attendees then enjoyed lunch and fellowship in celebration of the honorees’ remarkable longevity.
Each of the 90+ residents was presented with a special proclamation by the mayor, formally recognizing their milestone and celebrating their lifetime of contributions to family, community, and society.
Manchester Township is home to one of the largest senior populations in the state.
The mayor noted “our older residents continue to inspire us with their strength, spirit, and stories. Today was about honoring them and letting them know just how deeply valued they are.”
The Township Council and Mayor Hankins extended their sincere appreciation to the Cedar Glen Lakes community for hosting this meaningful event and to all those who contributed to its success.
