HANDLIN TO HOST CITIZENS RESOURCE MARKETPLACE

-RESCHEDULED FROM SNOW CANCELLATION ON JANUARY 10, 2009-

Free "Green" Light Bulbs!


Assemblywoman Amy Handlin (LD-13) to host a Citizens Resource Marketplace co-sponsored by Brookdale Community College and The Breeze Radio. The program will take place on Saturday, January 31st from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Brookdale Community College in the Navesink Room at the Warner Student Life Center at 765 Newman Springs Road, Lincroft, New Jersey.

“The purpose of this free event is to provide citizens with information about the many state resources and programs that are available to the public,” said Handlin.

Handlin created the Citizens Resource Marketplace to help the many constituents who have contacted her office with worries about the current economy. Many were asking for information about how state government could assist them with their financial challenges and were unaware of the many programs available to them free as taxpaying citizens of New Jersey.

“Government always asks for your resources, now it’s your turn,” said Handlin. “Hundreds of state programs are paid for by your tax dollars – come learn what those programs can do for you.”

Program participants include the Department of Community Affairs, the Board of Public Utilities, the Green Resource Team who will hand out free energy efficient light bulbs, the Department of Labor, the Department of Banking and Insurance, New Jersey Natural Gas, Department of Veterans Affairs and Brookdale Community College.

“I am excited to bring together many of our state agencies to explain the resources they offer citizens. I think many people are surprised to learn that there are state programs for just about every household on every income level. This is a one-stop shop for government resources that can help families throughout New Jersey.”

Any member of the public who would like more information about this program can call (732) 787-1170. In the event of snow predictions on Saturday please call (732) 787-1170 for cancellation information.
