JOSEPH J. FALLON,
JR.
BOROUGH COUNCIL
When people ask Joe Fallon what he feels is
most important for Gibbsboro, he replies "our children"
because they are our future. When he and his wife Mary Ann moved
to Gibbsboro, they made a commitment not just to live here, but
to give their best to the community. Joe and MaryAnn live on
Ridgewood Road with daughter Sara, and son Brett, both Eastern
High School graduates and now college students.
The philosophy Joe lived by during his nine
years on Borough Council was keeping an open mind and keeping
taxes down so Gibbsboro remains affordable for all its residents.
He believes open communication between elected officials and
citizens is the key to good local government. Having a bi-partisan
council allows for open communication and greater examination
of all proposed projects by Borough Council. "When people
have problems or questions, they need answers right away.'
A former Co-President of Project Graduation,
this worthwhile project found Joe spending many hours helping
to raise funds for its alcohol free graduation party for students.
Joe is proud that many of Gibbboro's parents have also been
involved as volunteer supporters as graduates celebrate Graduation
night at an all night get together down the shore.
With his commitment to education and our families,
he served on the Gibbsboro Board of Education and has been involved
in organizing activities for children. Many of you may remember
when he and other volunteers put a new roof on the portables
at the Gibbsboro School to save taxpayers money, the summer
arts and crafts program at the school, the summer basketball
games on the courts, or devoting his time supervising the "Monday
Night Basketball Players' at Eastern High School.
A small business owner, he has first hand
knowledge of the economic impact of taxes and dealing with state
and municipal codes. Joe knows the cost of repairs and was instrumental
in assisting with the Mr. Fix-It Program that has helped seniors
with small home projects to help save them money.
Joe has unselfishly dedicated his life to
his family and Gibbsboro.
Do the right thing for Borough
Council by electing him and his running mate Ellie to Council,
November 7, 2000
