It is difficult to encapsu-

late the work of Family

Promise.Its mission statement ex-

plains it best; “FamilyPromise of Morris County

is a non-sectarian, not-for-

profit organization dedi-cated to ending the crisis of

homelessness faced by

Morris County families by

partnering with other public

and private agencies, reli-

gious congregations andcommunity volunteers to

provide shelter, case man-

agement and mentoring

services leading to self-suf-

ficiency.”One of the main ways

that Family Promise has

served the homeless com-

munity in Morris County

has been through its inter-

faith network. More than 70area congregations open

their homes of worship on arotating basis, to provide

temporary food and shelter

for those without housing.Many volunteers through-

out the county make this

Emergency Shelter and

food available to those in

need.

The new Our Promisedrop in center does not pro-

vide nighttime shelter, but is

meeting many other press-

ing needs for the homeless

community in Morristown.“We have two main fo-

cuses at the center,” said

Family Promise Opens New Drop In Center, Our PromiseJoann Bjornson, executive

director of Family Promise

Morris County “providing

for basic needs and casemanagement.”

When people who arenot living in a homeless sit-

uation think of basic needs,

there are many things thatmay not come to mind.

Bjornson noted how impor-

tant access to bathrooms

and hygiene items are for

those living without safe

housing.“Even just the dignity

and respect of being able to

have access to clean, safe

restrooms,” she said. “And

things like underwear, socksand feminine hygiene

items.”

Bjornson mentioned that

the homeless population

often doesn’t have access tolaundry facilities either.

“Their socks get wet and

they have no way to wash

them, so instead of carryingaround dirty socks, they

throw them away.”In order to help people

clean and maintain their be-

longings, the drop in shelter

provides laundry cards.

There are so many other

things that people may not

identify as needs such asrain ponchos, sunscreen,

deodorant, lip balm and lo-

tions.

“When you think aboutit, if you are spending mostof your time outside, you

need sunscreen.”

It is also important that

during hot or cold weather,

people have access to thecenters heating/cooling sta-

tion, just to be able to get

out of the elements.

Try to imagine living life

without a home to provideshelter and a safe place for

taking care of general health

and hygiene issues. Any

woman who has been

camping during her period

can understand the diffi-culty of feminine hygiene

issues without access to

running water and toilets.

Even the costs of hygiene

products can be prohibitive.Meeting these kinds of

basic human needs and re-

specting the dignity of thehomeless population is a

large part of what the dropin center has to offer.

The second part of the

mission is case manage-

ment. This is the opportu-

nity to work with clientsand understand their current

situation and how it is af-

fecting them. It also means

finding services that they

are eligible for and connect-ing them up with agencies

or organizations that can

meet these needs.

Things like providing a

legal address for people, so

they can send and receivecorrespondence and pay-

ments. They also have ac-

cess to telephones,

computers and a knowl-

edgeable clinical staff thatcan not only listen to their

story, but also connect them

up with other organizationsthat can help.

“People say that theyshould pull themselves up

by their bootstraps, and

hard work, but that isn’tcontinued on on page 2

enough anymore” points out Bjornson.

“Minimum wage jobs are often the most

physically exhausting, but how do you get

to the next level? You are living in poverty,

how do you even imagine that?Minimum wage jobs used to be enough

to make ends meet, when someone could

get a room for $100 a week but now it’s

$600-$800 a month for a room in Morris

county. That isn’t doable on a minimum

wage job.”

If someone gets sick, then forget it. They

will never be able to catch up. That is whyeducation is needed, so people can have ac-

cess to higher paying jobs which would en-

able them to afford housing.

New Drop In Center...

Some people may see a homeless person

with a cell phone and think that if they can’t

afford housing they shouldn’t have a cell

phone. Once again, if someone imagines

himself living without safe housing, theneed for a cell phone becomes instantly ap-

parent. It is also nearly impossible to secure

employment without a phone number. The

drop in center provides charging stations for

cell phones as well.Family Promise is also working with

local health care professionals to provide

health care options.

“People can use the ER for their medical

care,” says Bjornson. “They have no timefor prevention; there is no time for that, so

it’s more reactive.”Helping people find avenues of care be-

fore there is a crisis can keep them out of

the ER.

When the center first opened in July, itwas having mostly clients picking up their

mail and leaving. About 10-15 people a day

dropped in, but didn't really take advantage

of the services being offered. Now, there are

between 25-45 people a day with about 125unduplicated clients a week, with many

people staying to use the center, and speak

with the staff and volunteers.

“The clinical staff is really helping peo-

ple,” reflects Bjornson.

The mission of Our Promise is not com-pletely set as Family Promise continues to

figure out what the actual needs are and

how to best address them. For 2016, the

center is considering the needs of people re-

leased from prison and hospitals, and con-sidering how they can help these people

find their place in society.

The center is able to do all this through

the use of government funding, and the

charity of various business, organizationsand individuals. They have trained staff on

site as well as the valuable donations of their time by volunteers. They are currently

looking for a volunteer to help at the drop

in center.

Anyone interested in getting involved ei-ther as a volunteer or through donations can

contact Our Promise at 973-644-0100 or

[email protected].

The drop in center is located at The First

Baptist Church of Morristown and is openMon. thru Fri. 1 p.m.-4:30 p.m.

Atradition that has lit up Florham Park for more than

two decades raised $3,000 this year, as the Florham

Park Memorial First Aid Squad held its annual

Tree of Light Program fundraiser.The large pine tree was lit Nov.8 and taken down on

Valentine’s Day.

The color of each light has special significance, with red

lights symbolizing the living, white in remembrance of de-

ceased loved ones and blue in honor of those in the military.Vice President of the squad Edward Franko told the

Florham Park New that about 100 lights were requested by

approximately 45 residents, some of which donated $75 to

$100 for three or four lights.

Tree of Light Program Raises $3,000 To Support First Aid Squad The tree is held to remember those who have touched

people’s lives, with each light on the tree representing an

individual being honored by a donor. While donations for

lights on the tree are no longer being accepted, Franko said

it is always accepting financial contributions.“Our organization survives on contributions and dona-

tions,” said Franko, who is a driver with the squad. “A lot

of people went by and said it (the tree) was beautiful, the

red, white and blue especially.”

The money raised will go towards purchasing equip-ment. He added that the squad is always looking for new

members as well as donations. Its next fundraiser is on Me-

morial Day.

The first aid squad depends on donations to provide

emergency medical services without charging people. Ac-

cording to Marko, it answers 1,000 calls each year and op-erates three ambulances staffed with emergency medical

technicians 24 hours a day.

Donations to the nonprofit first aid squad are tax-de-

ductible, and may be sent to: Florham Park First Aid Squad,

60 Felch Rd., Florham Park, NJ, 07932. For information,call 973- 377-4226.

Ayear has come and gone since Ihave taken the reins as editor of

New View Media Group Newspa-

pers and what a positive journey it has been.

Being part of a company that has dou-

bled in size, from eight monthly papers to

17, has been so exciting but the greatest joyfor me has been being on the forefront of so

many wonderful stories that surround us

every day. Most other newspapers will fill

their pages with police stories, obituaries,

car accidents, suicides, murders, disasters,law suits, political battles and controversial

issues that busy municipal governments and

school boards.

While every journalist craves that news

breaking story or that shocking incident for

that hard-nose reporter to capture all thosedetails whether gory or devastating, there is

nothing quite refreshing or satisfying than

covering a feel good story that tugs at heart

strings and puts a smile on one’s face.

My days this past year have surroundedme with stories about the kindest people

who have given their time, mind and spirit

to help others in need; who have gone aboveand beyond in their endeavors or jobs; who

have put other people’s lives before theirs;

or about events that bring joy to the commu-

nity or raise needed funds or supplies for a

particular issue or charity; and even about

communities and school districts that con-tinue to work together to improve their sur-

roundings through new programs and

resources; as well as busianesses that con-

tinue to keep hard workers employed while

providing the best services to customers.While New View Media Group is an un-

affiliated paper, meaning it remains untied

to any particular religion or political group,

it upholds similar virtues and ethics like

being kind to others, helping thy neighbor,

giving tzedaka or charity, doing a mitzvahor kind deed, volunteering time and sharing

generously and unselfishly with those in

need.

Looking back through the twelve months

of 2015, so many stories of genuine kind-ness fill my mind that it would be wrongful

of me to not reminisce before jumping in to

share the positive moments unfolding for2016.

For East Hanover and Florham Park

News readers, the stories that took center

stage since the first issue came out in April

2015, include a new superintendent hired in

Florham Park School District; the AmericanLegion Auxiliary Unit 43 post in Florham

Park hosted a pinwheel sale to raise aware-

ness and funds against child abuse as well

as a Pick a Poppy sale to aid veterans and

those serving in active duty; three FlorhamPark teenagers host Bark For Life event to

raise money for American Cancer Society;

residents of Chesire Home in Florham Park

made quilts for kids; Florham Park Library

recognized its local heroes; Whippany Ro-

tary provided drive safe signs; softball tour-nament was held at East Hanover Lurker

Park and raised $8,000 for bone marrow

charity; Florham Park police began neigh-

borhood watch program; First Presbyterian

Church in East Hanover hosted its firstblessing for animals; Florham Park Police

welcomed a new police chief and grew fa-

cial hair to raise funds and awareness forcancer research.

The positive stories are endless and con-

tagious really. Shared each month to inspire,

motivate, reflect and channel others to get

involved, donate, give back, participate or

even just turn negative energy into one filledwith optimism and hope, each community

stands stronger and united knowing that

there are people out there who do care and

are making a difference every day.

Nothing wrong with being humble, butdo not let that stop you from contacting New

View Media Group to share your contribu-

tion of how you helped to make the world a

brighter place. There is nothing wrong with

shining and patting yourself on the back for

some well-deserved recognition.Send your press releases and story ideas

to me at [email protected]. I look

forward to hearing from you in 2016…until

then happy, healthy New Year to all readers.

T

wo couples from Florham Park have

joined the fight against childhood

cancer. Chris and Denise Adesso andAndro and Jennifer Buneta host the second

annual “Stems and Steins” craft beer and

wine and food pairing and silent auction

Sat., Feb. 20, at the Park Avenue Club in

Florham Park.All proceeds of the evening's profits will

go directly to pediatric cancer research

through Bike with Mike's Cycle for Survival

team. Cycle for Survival is a nation-wide,

high-energy indoor team cycling event ded-

icated to raising money for rare cancer re-

search. Team "Bike with Mike," started byDr. Michael La Quaglia, chief of the Pedi-

atric Surgical Service at Memorial Sloan

Kettering, directly funds pediatric cancer re-

search.All pediatric cancers are considered rare

cancers and therefore receive less than four

percent of the National Cancer Institute’s

funding for research and treatment. Chil-

dren fighting cancer need private organiza-

tions and private fundraising to fight for

them. Unfortunately, the reality is, research

on rare cancers is drastically underfunded,often leaving patients with limited or no

treatment options.

One hundred percent of the money raised

will go directly to Memorial Sloan Kettering

Cancer Center for research for new treat-ments.

“The four of us have been riding with

Cycle for Survival for the past several

years,” they say. “After our 2014 ride, we

started talking about how we could raise

more money for Dr. Mike’s team and ‘Stems

& Steins’ was born. Our first event last yearraised over $11k and was such a fun and ex-

citing evening! We know it is our responsi-

bility to continue the fight as each of us has

lost family and friends to cancer. In theirhonor we ride for awareness, for research,

for treatments and for a cure.”

For the past 60 years, area residentshave been members of the Garden

State Yacht Club, a member owned-

and operated- club, in Hopatcong, where

they enjoy swimming, boating, tennis, din-

ing, dancing and more. While some mem-

bers live on the lake, the vast majority of members come from nearby towns, includ-

ing Livingston, Rockaway and RoxburyTownships.

Located on the west shore of beautiful

Lake Hopatcong, The GSYC is a private

club for all ages, offering a range of outdoor

and social activities for family and single

members with Equity and Associate Mem-berships. While it hosts many events

Garden State Yacht Club Enhances Recreation On Lake Hopatcong throughout the year, the club offers a com-

plete schedule of daily activities during thesummer season, from Memorial Day to

Labor Day.

Equity Members enjoy the whole com-

plement of club events and facilities, taking

full advantage of the club’s recreational andsocial activities. These include the newly

redecorated clubhouse, heated swimming

pool, tennis courts, children’s playground

and dock space for 55 boats. Social activi-

ties include dinner and dancing, parties,deck dining, entertainment, lectures, and

trips and other events throughout the year.

ship is a non-ownership and value-priced

alternative. Associate Members are enti-

tled to the use of the pool, locker rooms,tennis courts, playground and optional dock

slips, and enjoy weekend poolside food

service and the frequent weekend poolside

entertainment.

Whether outdoor interests run to tennis,boating (power, sail, or kayaking), card

games, shuffleboard with the kids, or just

relaxing, the Garden State Yacht Club has

activities for everyone. In season, the pool

is open daily.

A boat is not needed to be a member of the club. Members with boats are more

than happy to take others out on the lake.

The marina hours are unlimited, with ample

lighting for evening boating. A convenient

tram provides transportation from the rearof the clubhouse to lakeside. The men’s and

women’s locker rooms, with showers and

well-appointed dressing areas, make it easy

to spend the entire day and evening at the

club.Children are, of course, welcomed!

L

ights on the evergreen tree on the

front lawn of the Florham Park Me-

morial First Aid Squad are still flick-ering and will continue to do so through

Feb. 14.

What a symbolic way to remember

loved ones and honor special people in thelives of local residents during the winter

holidays and through Valentine’s Day, the

celebration of love and affection.

The first aid squad dedicated the new ad-

dition of its facility during its twenty-first

annual Tree of Lights Ceremony last Nov.8. The addition was largely made possible

by a donation of the Ely Sun Family inmemory of deceased family members

Gladys Sze Sun and Anna Chao Sun. This

expansion now allows all three of thesquad’s ambulances to be secured indoors

and provides much-needed space for equip-

ment and supplies.

Lights on the evergreen tree on the front

lawn were turned on during the ceremonyand the names of additional people being

remembered were read. Residents were in-

vited to donate $25 to designate a light on

the tree in honor of the person of theirchoice, with red lights recognizing the liv-

ing, white lights in remembrance of de-

ceased loved ones, and blue lights in honor

of those currently in service to our nation.Participants were asked to submit the name

of the person being remembered and the

color of the light to the squad. Lights will

be turned on each evening through Febru-

ary 14.

The volunteer first aid squad dependsupon donations to provide emergency med-

ical services without charging patients. Thesquad answers approximately 1,100 calls

for medical assistance each year, and oper-

ates three ambulances staffed with emer-gency medical technicians 24 hours a day.

The squad often provides fully-staffed

crews to be on site for major events within

the town. Donations to the non-profit first

aid squad are tax deductible. For further in-formation, call 973-377-4226.
