Nominations for 2023 Hackettstown Area Senior Hall of Fame now being accepted

NORTHWEST, NJ – Nominations for the 2023 Hackettstown Area Senior Hall of Fame are now being accepted.

The Hackettstown Area Senior Hall of Fame was established in 1997 to recognize senior citizens in the Northwest New Jersey region who have made a significant impact on the lives of others in the community.

The Senior Hall of Fame honorees are recognized during a celebration luncheon and ceremony in May, which is Older Americans Month. This year’s luncheon will be held on Wednesday, May 10 at David’s Country Inn in Hackettstown.

The Hackettstown Area Senior Hall of Fame has inducted 246 members since its inception. This roster includes individuals from Warren County and adjacent parts of Hunterdon, Morris and Sussex counties.

“We believe senior citizens are a vital group who contribute a great deal to their communities and society, and we are honored to recognize those that have gone above and beyond in service to others,” the committee said.
