West Orange Mayor and Human Relations Commission Receives Good Neighbor Award
B
By Dawn M Chiossi eing a good neighbor. There are many different components to being one. Caring, empathy, compassion, and going out of the way for someone else are just some of them. Being a good neighbor also encompasses an awareness and recognition and inclusion of community diversity. Realizing that all people are unique, interesting and have something valuable to say and do that others can relate to. It takes tolerance and an open mind and a willingness to care and learn. Such is the spirit of the Good Neighbor Award presented by the Federated Church of Livingston. On March 24th, taking place at the church in Livingston during a special service, the church presented this award to West Orange Mayor Robert Parisi and the West
Orange Human Relations Commission. United against hate and celebrating diversity, and the things that make everyone unique and special, both Parisi and the Human Relations commission are quite honored and humbled about receiving the award, letting their good works speak for themselves. “Kindness matters,” Parisi says abashedly, “This is all about just being kind. It was so nice of the church to do that.” Established in 1992, the West Orange Human Relations Commission have been developing and implementing programs and initiatives that encourage a positive and constructive dialogue within the township regarding diversity and diversity related issues. Parisi, who has been mayor since 2010, jokes that he “fell into the role of mayor,”

in actuality he served on the township council for 12 years, before becoming mayor. A lifelong resident of West Orange, he has been helping and giving back for as long as he can remember. He enjoys going out
into the community, making a difference wherever he can. From such as going out into the community to read to the children, something he likes to do several times a year. continued on page 2
