Case’s remarks centered on seniors being vigilant for holiday scammers and keeping their cars locked. The Fanwood Police Department is urging all citizens not to leave cars idling unlocked in convenience store parking lots since this is a prime target for car thieves. They also urge everyone to always lock their car, even if parked in their own driveway.

The luncheon was attended by about 60 members of the Seniors Club, along with Fanwood Councilwoman Trisha Walsh, Senior Coordinator Dianne Howarth, Borough Administrator Rayna Harris, Borough Clerk Kathleen Holmes, and Tax Collector Colleen Huehn.
