Brick, NJ – Mayor Stephen Acropolis and the Brick Township Housing Authority are hosting safety luncheons for the residents of the Housing Authority’s apartment complexes.  The luncheons will be held on Tuesday, May 5 and Wednesday, May 6 and will feature speakers on topics relating to safety for senior citizens.

“These safety luncheons are the outgrowth of the tragedies on Chambers Bridge Road,” said Mayor Acropolis.  “I felt that it would be beneficial to the residents of the Housing Authority to have experts speak to them about safety and share their knowledge with them.”

Mayor Acropolis cites multiple fatal accidents involving pedestrians on Chambers Bridge Road in recent years as the catalyst for the luncheons.

Speakers for the luncheon include Mayor Acropolis, Brick Township Safety Inspector Joseph Gilsenan, Ocean County Consumer Affairs Director Stephen Scaturro, Ocean County Office of Senior Services Director Jane Maloney (Wednesday) and Rich Orlando of the Brick Township Board of Fire Commissioners.  Topics for the luncheon include pedestrian safety, consumer safety, etc.

The luncheon is free to attend for residents of the Housing Authority.  The May 5 luncheon will be held at the Conway Apartment Building and the May 6 luncheon will be held at the Forge Pond Apartment Building.
