Family Promise Opens New Drop In Center, Our Promise

By Anastasia Marchese
t is difficult to encapsulate the work of Family
Promise.
Its mission statement explains it best; Family
Promise of Morris County
is a non-sectarian, not-forprofit organization dedicated to ending the crisis of
homelessness faced by
Morris County families by
partnering with other public
and private agencies, religious congregations and
community volunteers to
provide shelter, case management and mentoring
services leading to self-sufficiency.
One of the main ways
that Family Promise has

served the homeless community in Morris County

has been through its interfaith network. More than 70
area congregations open
their homes of worship on a
rotating basis, to provide
temporary food and shelter
for those without housing.
Many volunteers throughout the county make this
Emergency Shelter and
food available to those in
need.
The new Our Promise
drop in center does not provide nighttime shelter, but is
meeting many other pressing needs for the homeless
community in Morristown.
We have two main focuses at the center, said

Joann Bjornson, executive

director of Family Promise
Morris County providing
for basic needs and case
management.
When people who are
not living in a homeless situation think of basic needs,
there are many things that
may not come to mind.
Bjornson noted how important 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, socks
and feminine hygiene
items.
Bjornson mentioned that
the homeless population
often doesnt have access to
laundry facilities either.
Their socks get wet and
they have no way to wash
them, so instead of carrying
around dirty socks, they
throw them away.
In order to help people
clean and maintain their belongings, the drop in shelter

provides laundry cards.

There are so many other
things that people may not
identify as needs such as
rain ponchos, sunscreen,
deodorant, lip balm and lotions.
When you think about
it, if you are spending most
of your time outside, you
need sunscreen.
It is also important that
during hot or cold weather,

Serving East Hanover & Florham Park

We do the
job right...

people have access to the

centers heating/cooling station, just to be able to get
out of the elements.
Try to imagine living life
without a home to provide
shelter 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 difficulty 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 respecting the dignity of the
homeless population is a
large part of what the drop
in center has to offer.
The second part of the
mission is case management. This is the opportu-

nity to work with clients

and understand their current
situation and how it is affecting them. It also means
finding services that they
are eligible for and connecting them up with agencies
or organizations that can
meet these needs.
Things like providing a
legal address for people, so
they can send and receive
correspondence and payments. They also have access
to
telephones,
computers and a knowledgeable clinical staff that
can not only listen to their
story, but also connect them
up with other organizations
that can help.
People say that they
should pull themselves up
by their bootstraps, and
hard work, but that isnt

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 its

New Drop In Center...

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

county. That isnt doable on a minimum
wage job.
If someone gets sick, then forget it. They
will never be able to catch up. That is why
education is needed, so people can have access to higher paying jobs which would enable them to afford housing.

Senior Citizens Meet Twice Monthly

t the first East Hanover Senior Citizen Club in January, Mayor Pannullo inducted Matthew Perez to
the East Hanover Seniors Management
Board. A pizza luncheon followed and was
enjoyed by 96 members. The Jan. 25 meet-

ing was canceled due to the blizzard of

2016.
Meetings are held the second and fourth
Monday of the month at the EH Senior
Center, 96 Mt. Pleasant Ave., East Hanover.

people staying to use the center, and speak

with the staff and volunteers.
The clinical staff is really helping people, reflects Bjornson.
The mission of Our Promise is not completely 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 released from prison and hospitals, and considering 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, organizations
and 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 either as a volunteer or through donations can
contact Our Promise at 973-644-0100 or
ourpromise@familypromisemorris.org.

Baptist Church of Morristown and is open

Some people may see a homeless person

with a cell phone and think that if they cant
afford housing they shouldnt have a cell
phone. Once again, if someone imagines
himself living without safe housing, the
need for a cell phone becomes instantly apparent. 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 time
for prevention; there is no time for that, so
its more reactive.
Helping people find avenues of care before there is a crisis can keep them out of
the ER.
When the center first opened in July, it
was 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 125
unduplicated clients a week, with many

Tree of Light Program Raises $3,000 To Support First Aid Squad

By Jason Cohen
tradition 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
Valentines Day.
The color of each light has special significance, with red
lights symbolizing the living, white in remembrance of deceased 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.

The tree is held to remember those who have touched

peoples 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 donations, 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 equipment. He added that the squad is always looking for new

members as well as donations. Its next fundraiser is on Memorial Day.

The first aid squad depends on donations to provide
emergency medical services without charging people. According to Marko, it answers 1,000 calls each year and operates three ambulances staffed with emergency medical
technicians 24 hours a day.
Donations to the nonprofit first aid squad are tax-deductible, and may be sent to: Florham Park First Aid Squad,
60 Felch Rd., Florham Park, NJ, 07932. For information,
call 973- 377-4226.

Editor Wraps Up Top 2015 Stories;

Welcomes More Shining Times For New Year

By Cheryl Conway
year has come and gone since I
have taken the reins as editor of
New View Media Group Newspapers and what a positive journey it has been.
Being part of a company that has doubled in size, from eight monthly papers to
17, has been so exciting but the greatest joy
for 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 those
details 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 ones face.
My days this past year have surrounded
me with stories about the kindest people

who have given their time, mind and spirit

to help others in need; who have gone above
and beyond in their endeavors or jobs; who
have put other peoples lives before theirs;
or about events that bring joy to the community or raise needed funds or supplies for a
particular issue or charity; and even about
communities and school districts that continue to work together to improve their surroundings through new programs and
resources; as well as busianesses that continue to keep hard workers employed while
providing the best services to customers.
While New View Media Group is an unaffiliated 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 mitzvah
or 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 kindness fill my mind that it would be wrongful

of me to not reminisce before jumping in to

share the positive moments unfolding for
2016.
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 American
Legion Auxiliary Unit 43 post in Florham
Park hosted a pinwheel sale to raise awareness and funds against child abuse as well
as a Pick a Poppy sale to aid veterans and
those serving in active duty; three Florham
Park 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 Rotary provided drive safe signs; softball tournament was held at East Hanover Lurker
Park and raised $8,000 for bone marrow
charity; Florham Park police began neighborhood watch program; First Presbyterian
Church in East Hanover hosted its first
blessing for animals; Florham Park Police

welcomed a new police chief and grew facial hair to raise funds and awareness for
cancer research.
The positive stories are endless and contagious 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 filled
with 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, but
do not let that stop you from contacting New
View Media Group to share your contribution 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 editor@newviewmg.com. I look
forward to hearing from you in 2016until
then happy, healthy New Year to all readers.

Two Florham Park Families Raise

Money For Pediatric Cancer Research

wo couples from Florham Park have

joined the fight against childhood
cancer. Chris and Denise Adesso and
Andro 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 dedicated to raising money for rare cancer research. Team "Bike with Mike," started by
Dr. Michael La Quaglia, chief of the Pediatric Surgical Service at Memorial Sloan
Kettering, directly funds pediatric cancer research.
All pediatric cancers are considered rare
cancers and therefore receive less than four
percent of the National Cancer Institutes
funding for research and treatment. Children 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 treatments.
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. Mikes team and Stems
& Steins was born. Our first event last year
raised over $11k and was such a fun and exciting evening! We know it is our responsibility to continue the fight as each of us has
lost family and friends to cancer. In their
honor we ride for awareness, for research,
for treatments and for a cure.

Garden State Yacht Club Enhances Recreation On Lake Hopatcong

or the past 60 years, area residents

have been members of the Garden
State Yacht Club, a member ownedand operated- club, in Hopatcong, where
they enjoy swimming, boating, tennis, dining, dancing and more. While some members live on the lake, the vast majority of
members come from nearby towns, includ-

ing Livingston, Rockaway and Roxbury

Townships.
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 Memberships. While it hosts many events

Labor Day.
Equity Members enjoy the whole complement of club events and facilities, taking

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

than happy to take others out on the lake.
The marina hours are unlimited, with ample

First Aid Squad Dedicates Building

Addition With Colorful Lights

ights on the evergreen tree on the

front lawn of the Florham Park Memorial First Aid Squad are still flickering and will continue to do so through
Feb. 14.
What a symbolic way to remember
loved ones and honor special people in the
lives of local residents during the winter
holidays and through Valentines Day, the
celebration of love and affection.
The first aid squad dedicated the new addition 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 in
memory of deceased family members
Gladys Sze Sun and Anna Chao Sun. This
expansion now allows all three of the
squads ambulances to be secured indoors
and provides much-needed space for equipment and supplies.
Lights on the evergreen tree on the front
lawn were turned on during the ceremony
and the names of additional people being

remembered were read. Residents were invited to donate $25 to designate a light on
the tree in honor of the person of their
choice, with red lights recognizing the living, white lights in remembrance of deceased 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 February 14.
The volunteer first aid squad depends
upon donations to provide emergency medical services without charging patients. The
squad answers approximately 1,100 calls
for medical assistance each year, and operates three ambulances staffed with emergency 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 information, call 973-377-4226.

Jazz Quartet To Perform Release

Concert At Caldwell University

he Eric Olsen ReVision

Jazz Group plans to perform the release concert
for its CD Sea Changes at
Caldwell University 8 p.m.
Thurs., Feb. 18, in the Alumni
Theatre.
The album combines
classic melodies with jazz
improvisations, creating an
exciting new art experience
that transcends musical
boundaries, says Olsen, a
jazz and classical pianist
and composer. It gives familiar
and
beautiful
melodies a new framework
from which listeners can
find their own deeply musical connections.
Concert series director
Laura Greenwald says
Olsen is a superb musician
whose joy of performing is
contagious. His introductions are interesting and en-

gaging, and his playing is

brilliant.
The jazz group is known
for fusing the emotion of
classic melodies with the
fun of jazz improvisation,
transforming music from
Chopin to Grieg to George
Harrison in an innovative
way.
As music director at
Union
Congregational
Church in Montclair, Olsen
has conducted and performed many staples of the

classical choral literature

and leads a jazz ensemble in
his own unique arrangements of hymns and original
works for jazz services.
The snow date is Thurs.,
Feb. 25, at 8 p.m.
General admission for
most concerts is $20; tickets
for students and seniors are
$10. Tickets will be available online, through mail
order and at the door. For
more information, contact
Greenwald at 973-618-3520.
