Jeremy Pinto My name is Jeremy Pinto and I would love the opportunity to become a board member for Tamarac Lakes. Ever since I moved here three and a half years ago, I have wanted to contribute in a positive way to this amazing community. I love spending time with my family, which includes my wife Jessica and my three daughters, Lily, Addie and Mirabel. We love enjoying all that Tamarac has to offer, especially going to the lake, where I enjoy socializing with our wonderful friends and neighbors who have also chosen Tamarac as their home. In my professional life, I am an Executive Vice President at one of the largest global pharmaceutical communication companies where I lead the Talent Acquisition team. I appreciate this opportunity and hope to be able to fill one of the open Director positions on the TLA board. Thank you!
Bruno Berenato Hey Tamarac! We have been in Tamarac for the past 7 years and most recently in our current home for the past two years. I currently work for Amazon as a senior operational leader (no I can’t get you free prime or check on packages!). My prior work experience is TD Bank for 15 years, most recently as a senior leader, leading the North American Contact Center. I am also involved as a vice-chair for the Camden County Partnership for Children, and do volunteer work for the Gibbsboro American Legion as a SAL member. We just recently adopted the most beautiful little girl, Gianna, who we love more than anything. In our spare time, we enjoy to travel, visit the Jersey Shore, spend time at the lake or in the pool or just being with family and friends. After being in the neighborhood for 7 years, we wanted to volunteer time and give back to this awesome community!
Nini Waring
Nini Waring has resided in Tamarac since March 2013. She has volunteered in many capacities, most recently running to fill a board position due to an unanticipated vacancy. In under a year, Nini moved from trustee to Vice President. She has started multiple subcommittees to solve complex problems, always with 2 goals in mind:
Continue to make Tamarac the most desired neighborhood to live
Keep costs steady
She is constantly networking with neighbors and local associations to drive these 2 values.
Prior to serving on the board, Nini ran playgroup for over 5 years. She also continues to volunteer for many of the Tamarac hosted events, both in the planning and execution.
Professionally, Nini graduated from Drexel University with her Bachelor’s of Science in Electrical Engineering. She also holds two Master’s degrees from Villanova University: one in Technology Management and one in Electrical Engineering. Some of her professional roles have included systems engineer, security architect, and security and privacy consultant. Currently, Nini is the Vice President and North American Chief Information Security Officer for the largest insurance company in the world.
Personally, Nini is married to her husband, Bob, and they have two young boys, who were born and raised in Tamarac. They actually love Tamarac so much, just last year they bought a house up the street that had their must haves and they would not have to leave! The entire family has a vested interest in the Tamarac neighborhood and being involved and active residents. Nini would like to continue to serve on the board to show her ongoing support and dedication to her favorite neighborhood.

TLA gives a huge shout out to Andy and Lauren White, owners of Good Vibes Paddle! Thanks to them, our community now has a brand new lifeguard rescue board, as well as a brand new spine board. This saved our community upwards of $1,300! Both of these items were in desperate need of replacement. We are so grateful for the Whites’ generous contribution!

TLA Beach and Trails connecting to the beach are smoke-free
REMINDER TO ALL DOG OWNERS:
In order for everyone to safely enjoy our open spaces and walking trails, Medford Township and the TLA Board of Directors would like to offer a reminder that, per Chapter 66 of the Medford Township Administrative code, dogs must be kept on a leash. Also, dog owners are required under this same ordinance to remove their pet's waste from our open space and trails. Pet waste is not only offensive, but it can pollute water as it is washed by rain into our lakes. Help keep our lakes clean by doing your part to clean-up after your dogs.
Thank you!
Did You Know???
It’s illegal to dispose of brush, trees and yard material on common grounds. We still have people throwing their brush and tree limbs in the common grounds. Please dispose of properly!
We are starting weekly pickup basketball for adults on Sundays. Games will start at 9am at the beach court. Feel free to come earlier to warm up. Text Andrew Massaro (609-828-4004) with any questions.
