News and Announcements

Let's Send Bryson To Switzerland!

Bryson McLeod, a junior at Wood-Ridge High School, was born with the birth defect,
spina bifida. This prevents him from using his legs and he is confined to a wheelchair.
Despite this disability, Bryson is an accomplished athlete and competes in Track & Field,
Ice Hockey and Basketball.

In July 2008 Bryson was selected to join TEAM USA in the National Wheelchair Sports
at Rutgers University. His success in this competition resulted in his being asked to join
TEAM USA in the World Championship being held in July 2009 in Switzerland.
It is up to his family to raise the $6600.00 needed to cover his expenses in Switzerland.

Mayor Sarlo has appealed to the residents of Wood-Ridge to contribute to this cause.
Checks can be made payable to: WHEELCHAIR SPORTS. USA with Bryson McLeod
and #026067 on it. They can be sent to Mrs. Angela McLeod, 545 Anderson Avenue,
Wood-Ridge, NJ 07075.

Angela would like the checks mailed to her home so she can keep track of donations and send a thank you. She will then send them to WHEELCHAIR SPORTS, USA in St. Peters, MO. There will also be cans placed in various businesses in town.

Wood-Ridge is only a small town but if every resident gives just $1.00 Bryson will be on
his way to bring pride not only to Wood-Ridge but to the USA as well.

Let's SEND BRYSON TO SWITZERLAND!!

PROJECT “KEEP WOOD-RIDGE BEAUTIFUL”

a great success

On behalf of the Keep Wood-Ridge Beautiful Committee and the Mayor and Council, I would like to thank all the volunteers who came out on Sunday, June 7th for our tenth annual clean up day.  The purpose of this event is to raise awareness of our environment and the impact of litter.  Hackensack Street, Valley Blvd. and the ramps on Moonachie Ave. were cleaned while flowers were freshly planted at the Library, Civic Center, Senior Center, Triangle Park and Veterans Park on Valley Blvd.

A special thank you to Shop-Rite Supermarket of Lodi, the Inserra family and Lyndhurst Pastry Shop for their generous donations of all food items, Tullo Ice of Hasbrouck Heights for donating ice, AAA of North Jersey for the use of their vests and the Bergen County Department of Health for the use of their cleaning utensils.

It was gratifying to see the collaborative efforts of many organizations in town including the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Knights of Columbus Adopt-A-Highway crew, WRHS students, Police Department Auxiliary, Fire / EMS Department, DPW, and individual families, all working together with enthusiasm and cooperation for the betterment of Wood-Ridge.

Wood-Ridge is a special place to live and it was certainly evident that friends and neighbors take pride in our community.  I would like to encourage all residents and business owners to do their part to "Keep Wood-Ridge Beautiful" all year round by picking up litter and recycling.  Set an example for all to follow!

Ezio Altamura, KWB Chairman and Council President
Borough of Wood-Ridge
