Morris Mayor Issues Municipal Messenger Monthly For May

Press release from the Township of Morris:

May 1, 2020

Municipal Messenger Monthly / May

Dear Residents,

As we end the month of April and look forward to the month of May, I encourage each of us to reflect on what we have learned during this past month of extraordinary challenge for all. Please consider heeding the call of our Library’s History and Genealogical Center to submit stories of our personal experiences of what it’s like to go through this pandemic. It’s hard to think of a better way to connect with the deeper meanings of our present struggles than to intentionally share our reflections with future generations.

While the hardships we all experienced this past month were real and unforgettable, so too were the unmistakable signs of silver linings that have emerged so clearly as well: from residents who have made all sorts of donations (food, masks, money, time); to staff members who have worked around the clock to ensure that the full range of municipal services are maintained; to the heroic efforts of our front-line healthcare workers, first responders, grocery store workers and others; to the outpouring of gratitude and admiration that continues to this day… how lucky we are to live in a community so filled with people who are ready, willing, and able to help and encourage each other in our shared time of need!

As the weather warms, let us carry into May all that we have learned in this month just passed. That is how we continue this journey and emerge stronger on the other side.

With gratitude and best wishes to all,
Mayor Cathy Wilson
