Glassboro honors two long-serving employees and announces Light Up Glassboro winners
Summary
Mayor Johnny Wallace read letters recognizing Dominic Mara (32 years) and Regina 'Gina' McCloskey (more than 20 years) on their retirements and presented community-holiday contest winners at the Jan. 28 meeting.
At the Jan. 28 Glassboro Mayor and Council meeting Mayor Johnny Wallace read formal letters recognizing two long-serving borough employees who are retiring and announced winners of a holiday "Light Up Glassboro" house-decoration contest.
Dominic Mara was recognized for 32 years of service to the borough, beginning in the water and sewer department and later with the highway department. Regina ("Gina") McCloskey was recognized after more than 20 years of service; the mayor said both employees had been "hardworking, dedicated, and dependable."
The mayor also described the borough's first Light Up Glassboro initiative, in which elected officials, police and administration judged decorated houses over the Christmas season. He named winners and said the program helped officials meet residents and foster community ties; council members and staff thanked those involved.
Why it matters: The recognitions mark personnel transitions in public works and administrative roles that may affect institutional knowledge; the Light Up Glassboro initiative was presented as a civic-engagement effort the borough plans to repeat.
No formal council action was required for the recognitions or contest announcements, which occurred during the ceremonial portion of the meeting.
