Phil not only loaned the McLaughlin’s a vehicle for over a month free of charge when their family SUV died, but they stepped up with the help of all of your donations to provide Karen, Bruce, Nico and Mikayla with a brand new Plymouth Voyager.

I’d also like to thank Jeannine Cimino (executive VP and chief retail officer for William Penn Bank, Hamilton). Janine has been a fixture to our Pay It Forward events since day one. There’s really no one else we’ve ever considered as our emcee. Year after year, she knocks it out of the park with her wit and charm.

She’s been an amazing advocate for both the business community and for our expanded community. No one really ever considers having a charitable event in Mercer County without including Jeannine. So to her dedication to Mercer County and the Robbinsville, we are giving her our first ever Pay it Forward award tonight and just want to thank her for everything she done.

When Janine did this the first year, we did not know how this is going to work out, and there’s a whole bunch of funny stories that we could tell about how we actually pulled the first night together. But when it ended, Janine called me the next day and she’s like, “I have no idea what you’re going to do next year, but we’re in.”

The township is attempting to acquire the former Investors Bank building for a new municipal building. The Town Center-based office and retail building was constructed in 2005 and has been occupied by Investors Bank (and its predecessor, Roma Bank). The bank sold the building in 2021 to Realty Management Systems for $20 million in a leaseback deal. Investors Bank subsequently vacated the building after being purchased by Citizens Financial Group in 2022.

I’d also like to thank my wife, Kitt, and my kids Brett and my new college
