Book Club
Our December meeting will be December 14, 2021 at 7 pm in Town Hall to discuss:
it was recommended everyone read a Mary Higgins Clarke holiday book. There are many to choose from “Silent Night”, “Deck The Halls”, “All through the Night”, “Santa Cruise” or “The Magical Christmas Horse”.
It’ll be a quick discussion so we can have our Holiday party.
Remember to bring a slightly used or new book that you liked wrapped and we will have a Present Swap/Steal if you want to join in.
Also you can bring light refreshments or small munchies for all to enjoy if you are comfortable with that also.

A Message From the Boonton Township Police Department
BTPD WISHES ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS A HAPPY AND SAFE THANKSGIVING
With Thanksgiving typically marking the unofficial beginning of the holiday season, it is important to consider that family conflicts are an unfortunate component often associated with this time of the year. The holidays are usually a time of joy and community, but for some people, the holidays can be stressful and dangerous.
Spending time with family and friends, dealing with financial stress and traveling can make safely planning for the holidays a challenge. Family and friends may also have a difficult time finding ways to help or be supportive of those struggling with the numerous challenges of the holiday season. According to national statistics, domestic violence rates increase over the holidays for a number of possible reasons: stress, finances, and alcohol consumption all play a role in the increased risk of conflict during the holidays.
BTPD is here to ensure that all of our residents are able to celebrate the holidays safely, happily, and without issue. As always, our officers will be working around the clock keeping Boonton Twp safe this holiday season.
If you or anyone you know may need assistance or resources pertaining to family conflicts, please visit our website at www.btpolice.org or www.thehotline.org.
