Mayor David Runfeldt
April 1, 2020
Dear Lincoln Park Community,I have spent the last few weeks doing my best to keep all of Lincoln Park informed as to the myriad of recommendations, requirements, guidelines and best practices on how to be ready for the arrival and spread of the corona virus in our community. Unfortunately, I have also spent the last few days, sadly, informing you of the amount of positive cases of COVID-19 that have taken hold of us here in town.
As both Mayor and Emergency Management Coordinator, I have tried to lead and offer facts rather than react and allow rumors to run rampant. I take both my elected position and my appointed position as seriously as I take the health and safety of my own family. I hope this gives you some assurance that I, all of your town officials and employees, are doing everything within our power to keep you, and your family, safe and healthy during this very trying time.

There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
- Follow CDC’s recommendations for using a facemask.
- CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
- Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others. The use of facemasks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility).
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
- If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

A MESSAGE FROM THE RECREATION DEPARTMENT:It is unfortunate that the weather is perfect and all our our wonderful recreation events, classes and programming have to be postponed/cancelled/suspended. We hope to be back to offering great programs when COVID-19 decides to leave our community. We have not officially cancelled Summer Camp or closed the Lake for the Summer - we hope to open Camp and the Lake when our Government and Health Officials tell us we will be safe in doing so.
In anticipation of the day we can resume our recreation activities, there are some things you can do to get ready for the day when Recreation re-opens. One of them is to register you family on our new on-line program - CIVICREC.

The Lincoln Park Recreation Department is very excited to offer you the ability to easily and securely view and register for activities online. CivicRec is fast, easy to use, provides around the clock access, and your account information remains private and secure.
You can easily create a new account by following these simple steps: Click on the Create an Account link. Fill out the form for New Account Request completely, including all required fields (Birth Date, Gender, Email Address, etc.) and click submit. Please submit your request only once. Please note if you are registering a child for an activity, please use your own information when filling out the online registration account request form, NOT the information of the child you wish to register for an activity. Once you have an online registration account, you will have the opportunity to add family members.
Please use the link to connect to CivicRec: https://secure.rec1.com/NJ/lincoln-park-nj/catalog
CivicRec will allow the Recreation Department to accept credit card payments. This feature will be available mid April .
