Welcome

On November 16th the first commemorative plaques to honor volunteers were installed in the Tribute Garden at City Hall.  Commemorative Plaques can be purchased for a $150 donation to honor a Clifton volunteer. The first plaques honored Angela Barat, former Mayor Gloria Kolodziej, Keith Oakley and Fran Warren. For more information about how to honor a volunteer click here.

On November 11th, members of the Beautification committee and Clifton DPW planted perennials in the City Hall complex.  The perennials were received from the City Green Dig In! Grant awarded to the Beautification committee and included over 45 plants. The perennials were planted in the Sculpture Park and the volunteer Tribute Garden with the help of Clifton's DPW staff.

At the November 8th City Council meeting the annual Beautification awards were presented, two Clifton businesses received an award. The Business Beautification Awards recognize businesses making an exceptional effort to beautify and enhance their business property.  This years winners were The Barrow House and Roma Cafe.

At the Beautification Committee's  August monthly meeting committee members donated school supplies to the Power of One's annual  Back2School Outreach program. The mission of the Back2School Outreach is to provide underprivileged children with a free quality backpack filled with school supplies for the new school year.  To learn more, visit the Power of One website.

On Aug 1st Beautification members participated in National Night Out in Main Memorial Park. Committee member Alessia Eramo donated milkweed plants to distribute to residents.  The milkweed plant is critical for the survival of Monarch Butterflies, currently listed as an Endangered Species.  Milkweed is native to North America, so will grow easily in Clifton.  Read more about the Monarch lifecycle here.
