What a wonderful day celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Glen Rock Pride at Pride in the Park! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
As the Borough Council liaison to Glen Rock Pride, I could not be prouder of our Glen Rock Pride committee and volunteers who put together another outstanding event. Their hard work, passion, and commitment made today’s celebration truly special.
I am also thankful to my fellow elected officials who showed up to demonstrate their support. I am grateful to serve alongside Councilmembers Jill Orlich and Jon Hendl, whose commitment to inclusion helps make Glen Rock such a special place. It is always a pleasure to see Assemblymembers Lisa Swain and Chris Tully, who have long been great friends to Glen Rock. Thank you as well to Congressman Josh Gottheimer’s office for joining us and presenting Glen Rock Pride with a Certificate of Recognition.
We heard powerful and moving remarks from Mayor Morieko, Jane Clementi, and two incredible student speakers. Their messages about living authentically, being proud of who you are, and the importance of being an upstander and an ally resonated deeply and reminded us why Pride matters.
While a brief thunderstorm interrupted the outdoor festivities, it certainly did not dampen our spirits. Thank you to our first responders for their quick response and dedication to keeping everyone safe. The party moved briefly into Borough Hall, but before long, the sun was shining again and the celebration was back in full swing in what turned out to be a gorgeous afternoon,
It was wonderful to see so many local businesses, community organizations, and partners represented throughout the event. Their support helps make Glen Rock the welcoming and inclusive community we are proud to call home.
I am proud to live in a town that celebrates Pride loudly, enthusiastically, and unapologetically. The LGBTQIA+ community will always have my support.
Happy 10th Anniversary, Glen Rock Pride! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
