Letter from Mayor:
​
The New Jersey State League of Municipalities and I have an excellent scholarship opportunity for the high school juniors and seniors from (your municipality). We have teamed up to offer three $1,000.00 scholarships through the Louis Bay 2nd Future Municipal Leaders Scholarship Competition. This statewide scholarship competition centers on the theme "What I Like About My Hometown" and seeks to advance the virtues of elected and volunteer members of the municipal government.
Many of the elected officials and appointed board members serve (your municipality) with little or no compensation. It is their altruistic desire to serve their community which compels them to public service. These officials, along with a cadre of dedicated professionals, are guardians of our hometown comforts and security. They give of their time and talents to help plan our community and preserve our way of life.
They serve us year-round, every day and yet are hardly noticed. This scholarship competition will help rectify that while encouraging our future municipal leaders.
Full details on the application process and contest are enclosed. I hope to see many of our young adults representing (your municipality) in the Louis Bay 2d Future Municipal Leaders Scholarship Competition.
