Tents provide a gathering place for old friends and new acquaintances, as well as to sip the Rum Punch. |
The annual Community Bbq hosted by Mayor Adrian O. Mapp and his wife Amelia will mark it's eleventh anniversary this Saturday (August 18).
The Mayor's BBQ gets under way at the Mapps home at 535 West 8th Street at 4:00 PM and lasts until Midnight --or whenever the guests finally leave.
While the BBQ is an offering to the community, attendees have always brought donations of nonperishable foods and canned goods. In recent years, at Freeholder Rebecca Williams' suggestion, donations of personal hygiene articles are also sought. Williams has noted that church groups and others aiding homeless folks have said that sanitary napkins and tampons are among the most requested items by their clients.

And of course not to be missed is the Mayor's own special recipe Rum Punch.
Mayor Mapp and Amelia invite all to bring family, friends and neighbors and have a good time!
