CITY COUNCIL
President
D ear Neighbor:
Hoboken is a vibrant and exciting City. It is energetic
Nino Giacchi and diverse, reflecting our entire nation's fabric as a
Vice President whole. I truly believe that Hoboken is one of the pre-
Terry La Bruno mier communities in New Jersey and throughout the
• metropolitan region. As Mayor, it gives me great
Ruben Ramos, Jr. - at large pleasure to provide a dynamic choice of free outdoor
cultural and recreational opportunities to the residents of
Peter Cammarano - at large
our wonderful community.
Theresa Castellano - ist Ward
I am proud to present our 7th annual Summer Fun calendar of events, with
Beth Mason - 2nd Ward offerings that provide something for everyone. Programs such as Movies
Michael Russo - 3rd Ward Under the Stars, Art in the Park, group exercise, team sports, Shakespeare in
Dawn Zimmer - 4th Ward the Park, concerts in Sinatra Park and Church Square Park, and family fun
nights make sure Summer Fun adds a spark to everyone's summer season.
Peter Cunningham - 5th Ward
Outdoor recreation and cultural enrichment opportunities in our urban oasis
add to our quality of life. It is imperative that we provide recreational and
entertainment activities that benefit all our residents. This administration
continues to provide first class leisure opportunities for children ages
5 to 15 years old.
Summer Fun offers something for everyone. That is the goal of our free
summer program as we continually expand our recreational and cultural
opportunities to meet the needs and desires of all our residents.
