Dear Residents,

Spring is just around the corner here in Mount Arlington, bringing with it renewed energy, activity, and a great deal to be proud of as a community.

Healthy Town Designation – A Milestone Achievement

I am proud to share that Mount Arlington has been recognized as a 2025 “Healthy Town Up and Coming” by the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute. This is a significant accomplishment for our community and reflects our commitment to not only fiscal responsibility, but also to the physical and emotional well-being of our residents.

This designation represents a true team effort. I would like to thank our Mayor’s Wellness Committee Chair, Laura O’Reilly Stanzilis, Acting Clerk Ashley Todd, and all of the volunteers and staff who help bring these programs to life.

From Zumba, Chair Yoga, Beach Yoga, and Kayaking to Mindfulness Training and Healthy Bones classes, we are building a culture of wellness that is accessible, inclusive, and community-driven. This is just the beginning, and we will continue to expand these efforts in the months ahead.

Mayor’s Wellness Programs – Stay Active, Stay Connected
Our Mayor’s Wellness Committee continues to offer outstanding programs for residents of all ages:

• Chair Yoga – Fridays at 10:00 AM at the Civic Center
• Zumba Classes – Mondays at 1:30 PM and Wednesdays at 10:30 AM
