A Thank You to the Membership
Dear:NJBOA Members
It's been said that "A friend in need, is a friend indeed." No words could better describe what your friendship has meant to me over the years
My family and I appreciate your taking time out of your schedule on Tuesday to come out and support me during this difficult time. It's wonderful to have friends like you, who are always there for us when we needed you most.
Maureen and I want you to know that we cherish your friendship. Should you ever need us in any way, please don't hesitate to call.
If you were prepared to speak on my behalf and still have those thoughts kindly put them down in writing and send them to Mayor Glover and the Scotch Plains Council Members.
Hoping you had the Merriest of Christmas' and a Happy and Healthy New Year, I'll never forget Tuesday December 23rd and your support for the rest of my life.
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart
President Robert LaCosta
