WOODBRIDGE – Woodbridge Township hopes a look at the past will keep the community’s eyes fully focused on the future.
As part of its worldwide centenary celebration, Rotary International is encouraging local Rotary Clubs to make a permanent improvement to their community. The Rotary Club of Woodbridge-Perth Amboy has erected a vintage, early 20 th-century Town Clock in front of the Municipal Building on Main Street in Woodbridge, Mayor Frank G. Pelzman has announced.
The clock is 10 feet high, tall enough to be seen from the nearby train station and other downtown vantage points. Yet it will represent more than another aesthetic addition to the town’s vibrant Main Street corridor.
“We wanted this gift of the clock to generate publicity for Rotary’s global drive to eradicate polio from the Earth by the end of 2005,” says Rotary Club of Woodbridge-Perth Amboy President Tom Cornell.
“We welcome the Rotary’s generous gift of a Town Clock,” says Mayor Pelzman. “Besides the link to the Township’s historical heritage, it will stand as a visible reminder of our present-day public health efforts.”
The Woodbridge Health and Human Services Department’s regular outreach programs include child health conferences for mothers, infants and babies, STD clinics, i mmunization clinics and a wide range of year-round public health education activities such as the Mayor’s Health Expo set for Oct. 15, 2005 at The Club at Woodbridge.
