Council Members to Host 2nd Annual North Ward Valentine’s Day Luncheon

NEWARK – February has long been the month of romance with candy, flowers, and gifts exchanged between loved ones across the country including Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Italy, France and Australia. It is the world’s “holiday of love” and it will be shared with eleven (11) North Ward senior facilities along with Municipal Council Members Anibal Ramos, Jr., Council President Mildred C. Crump, Council Vice President Luis A. Quintana, Council At-Large Donald M. Payne, Jr. and Senator M. Teresa Ruiz.

The 2nd Annual Valentine’s Day Luncheon will be presented at El Flamboyan Manor located at 147 Verona Avenue, Newark, NJ. This year’s luncheon will feature food, music and prizes for all the seniors in attendance. “Who better to share the spirit of love than with those who have helped raise so many Newarkers by their example and commitment to their families and community?” Councilman Ramos said.

“It is wonderful how we can come together and share the spirit of love that literally touches everyone’s heart,” stated Council President Crump.

The respected poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote, “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” Everyone looks forward to enjoying a day where love's greatest gift is its ability to make everything it touches a moment to remember.
