Delta Day in Union County

The Union County Courthouse is an Elizabeth landmark.

Plainfield members of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority (the 'Deltas') will be spending a day on Thursday familiarizing themselves with the operations of Union County and its Freeholder Board, as well as attending a Freeholder meeting to raise concerns about the members' communities.

The day, which gets under way at 3:00 PM Thursday at the Union County Administration Building, brings together members of two of the sorority's chapters in this area -- Central Jersey Alumnae Chapter and North Jersey Alumnae Chapter -- in a series of meetings with Union County officials, including the County Manager, top County officials, the Prosecutor's Office, the Public Safety Office, and Health and Human Services.

After a dinner break, the day will conclude with members attending a public meeting of the Board of Chosen Freeholders. Although the day's sessions are closed to the public, all are invited to attend the Freeholder meeting.

The Union County Administration Complex is at 10 Elizabethtown Plaza in Elizabeth. The program begins at 3:00 PM and the Freeholder meeting is scheduled for 7:00 PM.
