NORTH BERGEN – Maurena Luzzi was named the North Bergen recipient of the Women’s History Month Award at the commissioners meeting on Wednesday, March 25.
Luzzi is the founder and driving force of the North Bergen Players acting troupe. “When [Mayor Sacco] asked me in 1987 to do this, I was told it’ll last a couple of months,” laughed Luzzi. Nearly 30 years later, “It’s been a wonderful, wonderful job. Most people don’t have jobs that they love as much and I’m very grateful for that.”
Luzzi has also been a member of the board of education since 1987 and will be retiring from her position as vice president at the end of her current term.
