Retro RFH Presidential Material
Yes, it’s Presidents Day.
And while the intent of Presidents Day was originally to commemorate the birthday of the first U.S. president, George Washington, it ended up being moved from Washington’s birthday of Feb. 22 to the third Monday of February as part of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act in 1971.
The purpose for that was twofold: to create a three-day weekend for federal and state employees (and sometimes municipal and private sector employees) and to celebrate all presidents.
So, yes, we celebrate all the presidents of the United States — POTUS.
But, we figured we’d give an odd RFH twist to paying ode to presidents by honoring leaders of the presidential sort from RFH’s past.
Trailblazer: RFH’s Shannon Corsi’s Ticket to the GRAMMYs
Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) student Shannon Corsi is about to hit the red carpet, or some path close to it, at the GRAMMY Awards tonight.
It was her original song “Trailblazer,” about the plight of substance abuse, that got here there. She’s already looked in on a rehearsal.
Soon it’s show time. No, she’s not a contender, but she won her own contest that got her and a few other teens closer to being one.
In case you haven’t heard it yet, take a look and listen to her song that set her on her way.
Enjoy, Shannon! Congrats!

Fair Haven: Tiki Haven Time
The chill is in the air, signaling the time for the Tiki Haven Luau.
The tropical-themed event, designed to warm winter spirits and raise funds for future Fair Haven Days, is set for Saturday, Feb. 27 from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus hall on Fair Haven Road, Fair Haven.
It will feature island-style food (pulled pork and fixins’ as a main dish), music, games (like the limbo, an outfit contest, a 50/50 and auctions with donated prizes from local businesses) and drink (beer, wine and sodas) for $50. A bar will be open and serving drinks not included in the admission price for cash.
“It looks like we may have started yet another wonderful tradition celebrating the Borough of Fair Haven that began with our 2012 Centennial Celebration with this new event,” Fair Haven Foundation President and Councilwoman Susan Sorensen said. “With winter in full swing, we all could use a bit of summer fun!”
So, get out your Hawaiian shirt, grass skirt, coconut top and lei — not necessarily in that order or all together — and order tickets now, the committee recommends.
See you in Hawaii — on the sunny shores of Knights of Columbus.
For tickets, contact Marie Noglows at [email protected] or purchase at Fair Haven Borough Hall.
