It is with much sadness that I let you all know that Steven Potterton passed away on January 29th, 2020, after fighting a brave fight against Cancer.   Steven was one of a kind and he will be greatly missed by all that loved him.  He meant so much to so many and his dedication to the youth of Closter and his love for the town was unmatched.  We must strive to remember him and his great work forever and use his life as example of a truly great friend and a person who gave his all to the town and people he cared so much about.   Please say a prayer for his family...  JimO

Folks, please take the few minutes it will take to watch this amazing uplifting video.  :)

On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving at the annual YMCA Awards dinner at the Venetian in Garfield- Closter’s own Wayne Sabo was recognized for his years of volunteerism with various organizations in Closter.
​
Wayne has been a long time member of the Closter Recreation Commission and it is an honor to call him a friend. :)
​
Being there and witnessing his speech sent chills down people’s spines.  The night was filled with countless speeches by very deserving individuals, with many of the people in attendance talking through and over the speakers.  Wayne quieted the room with his speech that resonated with everyone and for all of the volunteers out there.  I am sure you will agree with his sentiments!! 

At this special time of year it was a heartwarming, and heartfelt speech that drew a standing ovation from the hundreds of people in attendance when he was finished.

I hope you enjoy the video, wishing everyone Happy Holidays and I thank everyone for their giving to the community and a special THANK YOU to Wayne for his years of service.
