About time we funded a senior center. We built this town.
ReplyDeletethe seniors built this town? huh? pretty sure my generation built this town and then the baby boomers moved in from ny, toronto, etc. to benefit from what we built. but don't worry, we are happy to keep providing for you. we like doing tzedakah and chesed.
Delete@anonymous 11:45. Firstly, that is a disgusting way to reply to someone who posted a very neutral post. Second, believe it or not, there were seniors here from way back who did not move in recently from out of town. There are people here from R' Ahron's and R' Shneur's days, who were here at least as long as you, and maybe longer. But really this is childish. The post at 8:36 was obviously posted by someone who was here a long time and did not deserve such a diserespectful response.
DeleteThank you. Yes we were juniors here in town before we became seniors.
DeleteWasn't there a campaign for this senior center already
ReplyDeletehttps://www.rayze.it/thelakewoodsquare
And Chris Smith said he is giving 3 million dollars in grants to build a senior center in Lakewood
Is this the same one?
Why then is LDC giving away a quarter million dollars to a particular business over everyone else in town?
Why are certain well connected people always getting the grants or ldc monies
If you can't beat the system, learn to join them. Get connected, and build a "business".
Delete. It will start at 2:09 pm and end at 4:35pm a total of 68 minutes.
ReplyDeleteDo the minutes go by faster during an eclipse? I never knew that.

ReplyDeleteAll men - so primitive. Should be revised to: All creatures that some selection of that species/gender, if so wishing to identify as such(,if they have useful connections or street demos,) & can for extended period prance around upright
DeleteWelcome to the corruption it's always the same players whose hands are in the cookie jar o
ReplyDeletef course they are only here to help the community
You tried to build a senior center and were rebuffed?
DeleteThere's hundreds of businesses in town why is LDC under weisberg giving 250k grant to the senior center and others only get small loans
ReplyDeleteWhy is there no public discussion on spending tax dollars like this
Ldc is supposed to support business development not good or even great causes.... Not ambulances or LCSW either
DeleteIt has become the askanim cookie jar using taxpayer dollars look who gets the grants
ReplyDeleteLivestream not working for the ldc meeting
ReplyDeleteWould love to see candidate for township rabbi Wenger write some articles about the LDC and who gets funding
ReplyDeleteWhy are the askanim hiding behind this Mrs Stafansky and changing the name to Lakewood Square study who are they trying to fool
ReplyDeleteThe LDC is playing dumb favoring some with grants and not doing same for others
FAA could get down to the bottom of all this funding to the senior center
