Former Committeewoman Pat Snell, who recently relocated to Georgia, received a heartfelt farewell ceremony at the Monday, October 18th Township Committee Meeting. Mayor Tony Perry read a proclamation highlighting the accomplishments Pat made while serving on the Township Committee from 2018 to 2021, and presented her with a Key to the Township and an engraved clock. Her colleagues also surprised her with the original rendering of the "Rise of Hope" fountain that will be installed at the WTC Memorial Gardens as part of the upgrades being made for the 20th anniversary of 9/11. As chairwoman of the WTC Memorial Gardens 20th Anniversary Committee, Pat worked tirelessly to raise funds for
this project.
During her time on the Township Committee, Pat truly connected with our community. She was a passionate advocate for our youth and elderly, a champion for our first responders and veterans, and a leading voice for Middletown's Open Space and Historic Preservation Fund.
After the ceremony, Pat spoke about her time in Middletown and thanked the people who paved her path along the way. "They say home is where your heart is," Snell said. "And my home is here."
