23rd annual Scotch Plains Mayor’s Gala
Last week I had the honor of recognizing the dedicated volunteers that have humbly served the Township of Scotch Plains. It's because of their activism our community has been able to create opportunities for those in need. Thank you for your service!

Ruby and Thurman Simmons
The John Shippen Memorial Golf
Foundation was established to commemorate the Shady Rest Golf and
Country club and African American golf great, John Shippen, the club’s
long time professional and greens supervisor. Through the efforts of Scholarship
Committee Chairwoman Ruby Simmons, the Foundation awarded its first
annual college scholarship in 1992. The scholarship program was
established to provide financial assistance to needy area minority youth
demonstrating academic prowess and skill in golf.
