Council is requesting that all local non-profits provide financial statements as a prerequisite of consideration for borough funding.
Non-profits that receive borough funding will be subject to greater financial scrutiny next year. At the request of Deputy Mayor Ed Trawinski, council has agreed that beginning next year the disbursement of borough money to non-profits should be contingent on the submission of an IRS 990 and a basic financial statement. “Do we get a justification for what these funds are used for?” Trawinski asked at the March budget meeting while going over the approximately $63,000 allotted for local non-profits. “Do we get financial statements, or if these are non-profits, their 990s?"

Fair Lawn's 9U Travel Baseball Team is headed to Delaware after winning the NJYB Summer Bash
“When you put the ball in play, good things happen.” Never did that old baseball maxim ring more true than in this July’s North Jersey Youth Baseball 9U Summer Bash championship game at Foschini Park in Hackensack. After clawing back from a 6-0 deficit, the Fair Lawn Grey Cutters 9U Travel Team trailed by two runs heading into their final at-bat. Sparked by timely hitting and aggressive base running, the Cutters staged a miraculous comeback, putting up three scores in the bottom of the 6th to upend 9U state champion Wyckoff, 9-8, for a walk-off victory. “We were down to our last strike in the bottom of the 6th,” said Rick Puerto, who coaches the team with Jorge Reyes. “To come back and win it, this team’s strength has definitely got to be …
