On Thursday, December 19, 2019, Mayor Alberto Santos joined Kearny Recreation Commission Chairwoman Lyla De Castro Lawdanski and Vice-Chairman Lewis Battista, Recreation Director Ralph Cattafi and Nick Machado, Assistant Wrestling Program Coordinator along with youth participants and parents at Lincoln School Gym to roll out the new wrestling mat which will be used during practices and matches. The Kearny Recreation Wrestling Program, now in existence over 40 years through the efforts of community volunteers, will benefit from the donation which was possible by volunteers involved in the program. The Town of Kearny extends gratitude to everyone that made acquisition of the new mat possible and to all the children that continue to enjoy and benefit from the program.
