Lacey Township Honors Local Author and Dementia Awareness Advocate
Mayor Peter Curatolo and the Township Committee recently presented a Proclamation recognizing the impact of dementia on individuals, families, and caregivers. The recognition highlights the importance of raising awareness about neurocognitive disorders, especially in our senior community.
"We are honored to have one of our own write about such an important topic, particularly here at home, where many of our seniors are affected by neurocognitive disorders," said Mayor Curatolo.
Local author Andra Napoleon shared her personal experience of caring for her mother, shedding light on the challenges faced by families and caregivers. In her book, Andra offers a valuable list of resources for those seeking help and support.
"Well done, Andra. Lacey Township is proud of you!" Mayor Curatolo added.

Lacey Township Honors Meals on Wheels of Ocean County
for Exceptional Service
Lacey Mayor Peter Curatolo and the Township Committee recently presented a Proclamation to Heather deJong of Meals on Wheels of Ocean County
in recognition of their outstanding service to Lacey residents. In 2024, Meals on Wheels delivered 5,857 hot, nutritious meals and provided essential nutrition
education and social services to the community.
Mayor Curatolo, who worked closely with Meals on Wheels in his capacity as Coordinator of Community Health Services at the Ocean County Health
Department, praised the organization for its unwavering commitment. He noted that Meals on Wheels never missed a day of service throughout the entire
county, even during the height of the pandemic.
"Senior isolation is a significant issue, and Meals on Wheels plays a crucial role in addressing this by providing much-needed companionship when they
visit families in need," Mayor Curatolo stated.
Mayor Curatolo also shared his excitement about an upcoming ride-along as Mayor to deliver food to families in need on April 14, encouraging other
Ocean County mayors to participate. "This personal outreach really makes their day special," he added.
"Bravo Meals on Wheels! Much more than food!"
