MHS Wind Ensemble 2018 Mid-Atlantic Band Festival Selected To Perform At Rutgers University
M
By Stefanie Sears orristown High School’s Director of Bands of 17 years Michael Russo was instrumental in bringing the school’s Wind Ensemble to the 2018 Mid-Atlantic Band Festival Concert at Rutgers University mid-February for the very first time. They were one of six schools selected for this honor. “Typically the Wind Ensemble is the top Concert Band at high schools,” explains Russo, “It is the group that would represent the school in festivals and competitions. I am always looking for additional performance opportunities for the MHS Wind Ensemble. Performing and listening to other ensembles in an integral part of their music education.” The festival takes place bi-annually and this was the ensemble’s second time applying. They have been rehearsing since early January and planned to perform Samuel R. Hazo’s Sòlas Ané “Yesterday’s Joy” (2006) and Richard L.
! n e p O w o N
Saucedo’s “Persistence” (2004) at the Nicholas Music Center on the New Brunswick campus the evening of February 16. “It is a tremendous honor for the MHS Wind Ensemble being selected to perform as one of six honor bands at the Nicholas Music Center at Rutgers University,” he said. “I think MHS has had a band since the high school opened in its present location in 1918 - 100 years!” This is not the first accomplishment for the MHS Wind Ensemble. They received two Gold Ratings in the North Jersey School Music Association Region 1 Concert Band Festivals at Morristown High School in 2016 and Bergenfield High School in 2017. Based on a recommendation by New Jersey Wind Symphony Director, Dr. Christian Wilhjelm, they were selected for a Prelude Performance with the New Jersey Wind Symphony (formally known as the Ridgewood Concert Band) in March 2017. To be considered for the
festival, they included these honors along with an audio of their “Variations On A Korean Folk Dance” performance at the Ridgewood Concert Band Concert on their application they sent to the Mason Gross School of the Arts. The criteria requested a live recording with no edits. A panel led by Professor Dennis Fisher, the associate director of Bands from North Texas University, reviewed the

Dental Implants A Valuable Investment
A
s consumers, we want to be sure that when we spend our hard-earned dollar on something, we are getting value. The dictionary defines “value” with words such as importance, worth or usefulness. Dental implants truly provide a valuable service and function. The versatility of dental implants can provide value in many ways: They can replace missing teeth without damaging others like bridges and dentures, they can create gorgeous smile makeovers, they can stabilize dentures or even eliminate them, and we’ve seen time and time again how they can turn people’s lives around. The other week we performed another All-On-Four dental implant procedure. This patient had been suffering from multiple dental infections, pain and a poor smile for years. She had been talking about a smile makeover for three years with me, and she finally moved forward with treatment. In one appointment we were able to clear her of infections, place four implants, and connect teeth to them. She left the office a few hours later with a new lease on life in the form of a brand-new smile! “Value” was created for her: The smile and teeth were important, worthwhile and useful. She was
able to eat without pain. Friends and family commented on her beautiful smile. The same stories hold true whether a person requires a single tooth, denture stabilization or replacement of multiple teeth. One important factor to consider is who should take care of your implant needs. Value is absolutely created in this arena, too. Dental implants are not a specialty, and can be placed by any dentist, regardless of their training. The most common scenario is to have an oral surgeon or periodontist place the implants and the general dentist place the teeth on top of the implants. However, a big complaint I hear from patients is that they don’t like this arrangement: They want one dentist to take care of both. I have been placing and restoring implants myself for more than 22 years. Rarely do patients have to jump from one office to another: It’s all done in one location. Patients find it valuable to their personal time and peace of mind that everything is taken care of in one location. In order to help determine your level of value in dental implants, here are some questions or topics you should consider asking your dentist or surgeon: • How long have you been placing / re-
storing implants? • What kind of training have you undergone? What implant organizations are you involved with? • If more than one office is involved, how in-sync are the two offices? How long have they been working together? • Can you please show me other cases you have completed that are similar to mine? • Who will I see for maintenance and follow-up care: The dentist who placed the implants or the dentist who restored the implants? Do I have to see both? Will there be multiple charges for the maintenance visits? • What are my other options for treatment? This article was submitted by Dr. Ira Goldberg, a general dentist located in the Roxbury Mall in Succasunna. To speak with Goldberg and for a free consultation to determine the best course of action for a specific situation, give the office a call.

Adults With Asperger’s Invited To Join Social Group For Monthly Gatherings
I
By Cheryl Conway t is not always easy to connect with people socially after one graduates from college but by getting involved with a nearby social group, adults with Asperger Syndrome can make new friends and socialize. In its fifth year, The Asperger’s Adult Social Group of N.J., has grown to about 25 members who meet once monthly to participate in a planned activity. Members are seeking even more adults to get involved and join in on the fun. “Our current members have asked that we continue to grow, so I am spreading the word,” says Debra Burke of Budd Lake, founder of the The Asperger’s Adult Social Group of N.J. “It’s a good core group; hoping to get more members.” Established in October 2013, Burke and her 34 year old daughter, Jaclyn, had discussed how great it would be to have a social support group for adults with Aspergers “since we hadn’t heard of anything like that in our part of N.J.,” says Burke. “Since then connections have grown, new friendships have been made, and it’s truly a wonderful thing.” While “there’s a lot of support for children with Asperger’s, once they get out
of college there’s not enough outlets,” she says. Jaclyn, who graduated from Mt. Olive High School and attended County College of Morris in Randolph, was 31 when they began the group. “I just felt there was a need for adults with Asperger’s to have a social outlet,” says Burke. Other adults were asking for such a group as well, she says. The Burkes went to a meeting in Morristown but it turned out to be more of a support group. She and a couple of parents agreed they wanted more of a social group for their kids. Intimidated at first, she admits, to begin such a program, Burke attended a workshop held at Saint Claire’s Hospital in Denville to learn how she could start such a group. “I knew I could do that; I can throw a party,” she says. So she decided to organize an event once a month, varying days of the week held. Members meet once a month at different types of social get togethers such as dinner at an Italian restaurant, Hibachi, bowling nights, summer barbecue, swimming party, pizza and dessert party. Future events include impov nights, pottery classes, wine and painting and movie nights.

“They are good to come alone,” says Burke, “it just works.” Current members consist of men and women, 18 years old though the late 40’s from Morris, Warren, Somerset and Sussex counties as well as New Hope, Pa. Asperger Syndrome is considered a very high functioning autism. Affected children and adults can have difficulty with social interactions and exhibit a restricted range of interests and/or repetitive behaviors. Of the members, Burke says, “it’s an amazing, positive group of people. It’s grown into
a community of people; the friendships,” not only for the members but for their families, as well, “having a sense of community to share the friendships. It’s evolved so much.” The next function on the group’s calendar is to attend a Paint and Wine event on March 11. Events usually last for two hours, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on weeknights; 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends. For more information, email Burke at aspergers.socialgroup@yahoo.com or call her at 201-230-4725 to join.

Explorer Post Clues Teens In On Law Careers
T
By Julie Ross eenagers from towns throughout Morris County are getting a close-up look at the legal profession thanks to Law Explorer Post 22, offered as part of the Exploring career education program sponsored by Boy Scouts of America subsidiary Learning for Life. Geared toward young men and women ages 14 to 21 years old, the Exploring program is intended to provide experiences that help its participants mature and prepare them to become responsible, caring adults. Explorer Posts typically focus on a single career field, such as law, police work, fire/ rescue, healthcare, aviation, or the like, and may be sponsored by a government or business entity. Law Explorer Post 22 was founded in 2012 and is char-
tered to the Morris County Bar Foundation. Foundation trustees Andrew Jacobs, attorney at the Law Offices of Andrew R. Jacobs, Cedar Knolls, and Linda Mainenti-Walsh, attorney at Ceconi & Cheifetz, LLC, in Summit lead monthly Saturday morning meetings and invite guest speakers, including judges, prosecutors and attorneys practicing in a wide variety of fields, including criminal, family, environmental and intellectual property law. Other activities and off-site visits to destinations of interest, such as courts, may be added this year as participants’ interest dictates, said Al Thomas, senior district executive at Boy Scouts of America. Seven youngsters signed up to participate in Law Explorer Post 22 in 2018. At the first meeting of the year, held on February 3, featured guest

speaker Carolyn F. O’Connor, discussed the environment and culture of a large law firm. O’Connor is a regional managing partner of Wilson Elser, LLP, a national law firm, and a member of the firm’s equity committee. She is also a member of the firm’s equity committee, and serves as its equity partnership chairperson and chairperson of the women’s initiative committee. Jacobs and Mainenti-Walsh also addressed the group, describing their work. Jacobs’ firm specializes in personal injury law, and Mainenti-Walsh’s firm handles matrimonial matters. Explorer Post 22 member Doug Carter, of Parsippany, said he anticipates that attending Law Explorer Post 22
meetings and participating in any activities that may be part of this year’s agenda will prove valuable in offering true perspective on pursuing a law career. Describing his experience at the February 3 event, he noted, “The meeting gave me a very good insight into what being a lawyer actually means. The talented attorneys told us the opportunities there are to be a lawyer. They talked about different fields within law and added several of their own experiences.” Thomas said new members are welcome to join Law Explorer Post 22 at any time during the year. Interested teens or their parents can contact him at (973) 765-9322, ext. 229, or email al.thomas@scouting.org.

Annual Charity B-Ball Tournie Aims For Higher Contribution To Cancer Research
W
By Cheryl Conway ith a larger venue, a local non-profit is shooting to raise $30K this year for cancer research and clinical trials. Former Roxbury resident and 2004 Roxbury High School graduate, Dan Exter, has been on the move to growing and expanding his non-profit organization, Layups 4 Life. Since he began his charity in 2014, Exter has raised more than $50K with contributions to leukemia, pediatric and bone marrow research departments within Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). His fourth annual 3 on 3 charity basketball tournament is set for Saturday, April 28, at the Parsippany PAL Youth Center in Parsippany. Doors open at 10 a.m., with opening ceremonies beginning at 10:30 a.m. and competition lasting until 6 p.m. Sign up now through April 9 for $32 per person; registration cost will increase to $40 after April 9 through April 24, the last day to register. Each team can have up to four players, allowing for one sub. Open to males and females, players must be at least 13 years old. Teams are guaranteed to play five games each within divisions of other teams that are of similar age and skill set. Within these divisional rounds, games will go to eight points or whoever is winning after 12 minutes of play. Teams that have the best record within their division will move on to a single elimination tournament, explains Exter, founder and CEO for Layups 4 Life. With more gym space at the new venue this year, Exter is expecting a good turnout. Previously held at Roxbury High School, Exter decided to move locations this year as he needed more gym space. Last
year, Layups 4 Life attracted 45 teams, “an all-time high,” says Exter, with about 180 participants. With just one gym at RHS, five games were held at one time. Although he says he loved playing at his former RHS gym, he says, “We came into a good problem where we outgrew it.” The Jersey City resident played in a men’s league at the Parsippany PAL. He figured, “Wouldn’t it be nice to have my tournament here.” So “after pitching the idea to the PAL management, this year we are at a new gym,” says Exter. “They have two gyms available.” With more teams, more money can be raised. Last year, Exter’s Layups 4 Life raised $23K in the 2017 fundraising season; his new goal is $30K. “This year we’ve been fundraising since Jan. 1, 2018,” says Exter. “We have some great donors & sponsors which consist of both local and national businesses.” Besides raising monies from players, Exter says funds will be raised from raffles, a silent auction and vendors selling food at the event. There will also be a DJ playing music for entertainment and contests. “It’s a family-driven event,” says Exter. “You bring your kids, you play basketball. What can be better than that? Basketball, music and food, all supporting a great cause.” Exter also improved his website and received 501(C)(3) status for his organization in September. By having this nonprofit status, Exter is now allowed to direct his proceeds to help in other areas. Before receiving this status, Layups 4 Life was considered a third party fundraising organization through Sloan Kettering, he explains. “Now we have that flexibility on where we can help people,”

he says. “Sloan Kettering will always be a focal point; they saved my life, but there are other areas we can help so we like to try to do so.” As a former cancer patient, Exter was treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center after diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (A.L.L.) in the summer of 2013 at the age of 27. He received a treatment plan consisting of full body radiation, chemotherapy and a T-Cell depleted Stem Cell transplant, as described on the website. His younger and only brother, Jason Exter, was a perfect match and became Exter’s donor. During his recovery, Exter made a promise to himself to be an advocate in the fight against cancer. With his love for basketball- a sport he played since he
was 10 years old and as a power-forward on RHS boys’ varsity basketball team his senior yearLayups 4 Life was created. Layups 4 Life is founded on the principles of making a difference in the fight against cancer. Its mission to help raise vital funds for cancer research and clinical trials at MSKCC. “We are growing” says Exter, and are continuing to raise awareness. “That is the year over year goal, to raise funds to fight this disease and make a difference.” Go to layups4life.org for more information, to register and donate. Spectators are welcome! Interested in sponsorship and donations opportunities, contact Exter at layups4life@ gmail.com. Follow Layups 4 Life on all social media platforms using @layups4life.

A Fun Club On Nearby Lake Hopatcong Opens Memberships
or the fun-loving members of the Garden State Yacht Club, a private social and boating club on beautiful Lake Hopatcong, 2018 is shaping up as an outstanding year. The facilities are better than ever and the entertainment scheduled for this summer will be sure to please. The newly installed fire pit, which offers an incredible view of the Lake, will prove to be a favorite. Sitting around in the glow of the fire on a clear evening, enjoying the company of good friends, eating campfire s’mores, will undoubtedly add to the enjoyment of the participants. Of course, everyone enjoys the heated pool, which is open daily in season. All summer long, every Friday and Saturday evenings, are events that include dinner and entertainment. Highlights of upcoming entertainment include Beatlemania, the B Street Band and Epic Soul. Sunday afternoon features poolside music with live entertainers, DJ’s and bar service. Holiday weekends feature a fully catered picnic and barbeque. While the club offers a complete schedule of daily activities during the summer season, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, it has many events throughout the year, such as trips to mu-
seums, local points of interest, foreign film festival, road rally and dinner/dances. For more than 60 years, area residents have been members of the Garden State Yacht Club. Member owned- and operated, club members enjoy swimming, boating, tennis, dining, dancing and more. While some members live on the lake, the vast majority of members come from nearby towns in Essex, Morris, and Sussex counties, and as distant as Bergen county. To satisfy outdoor interests, the Garden State Yacht Club has excellent facilities and offers lessons for swimming and tennis; boating with dock space for 55 boats such as power, sail, or kayaking; and shuffleboard with the kids, or just relaxing. Boat ownership is not required for membership. 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 takes members from the rear of the clubhouse to lakeside. The men’s and women’s locker rooms, with showers and well-appointed dressing areas, make it easy to spend a full day at the club. Kids enjoy a playground with swings and climbing apparatus, tether ball, ping
pong and foosball. Children of all ages are permitted in the heated pool, which has a special, roped-off toddler’s area, with easy step access and shallow depth. Non toilet-trained infants are permitted, provided they wear “waterproof” diapers. On Tuesday afternoons, the Ladies’ Club has luncheons with a variety of programs, ranging from book reviews to cards.

Homeless Solutions Honors Organizers Of Cycling Event
F
By R.E. Wagner or the past seven years, Marty Epstein and Bill Ruddick have collaborated to host a fundraising experience known as the Gran Fondo: NJ. Held in Morristown annually, Epstein describes it as an event dedicated to the ideas of sustainability, safe bicycle riding and support for local non-profit organizations through charitable donations. “I’ve always been involved in the community,” said Epstein, owner of Marty’s Reliable Cycle. “I learned about it in a cycling article and thought it would be a great idea for Morristown.” Ruddick is director of Gran Fondo NJ (GFNJ), and since 2011, cyclists from all over the world have been drawn in, generating more than one million dollars in charitable contributions for local beneficiaries. “We directly donate the money we raise,” Epstein said. “We work very hard, I’m very proud of what we’ve done.” But it wasn’t always smooth sailing. Epstein explained that during their very first year the event experienced a few hiccups before getting off the ground. “We had about 600 people signed up,”
Epstein recalled. “That was the year that Hurricane Irene showed up. A few days before the race, the governor declared a state of emergency and we had to postpone for three weeks! It worked out though in the end because we ended up having 800 people.” Of the many nonprofits who have benefited, one organization, Homeless Solutions Inc., will be recognizing Epstein’s and Ruddick’s efforts. On March 2, Homeless Solutions Inc., will bestowing upon the two men the prestigious Dream Builder Award at their annual Dream Builders’ Bash at the Westin Governor Morris. “It wasn’t something that we were expecting,” Epstein shared, “but Bill and I are both very honored by it. I chose Homeless Solutions because of how they serve their communities, they do a great job.” Epstein fondly recalls an instance after donating $12,500 to Homeless Solutions Inc., to help one of their local shelters. “The shelter had a broken stove and no money to replace it,” he explained. “After our donation, they were able to buy a new stove and even had a ribbon cutting ceremony for it!”
Pictured, from left, is Marty Epstein and Bill Ruddick.
As for future plans and goals for the Gran Fondo, Epstein and his team are very optimistic. For the past three years in a row, the Gran Fondo Guide has been ranked as one of the top events in the nation by the Gran Fondo Guide. Epstein precontinued on page 11

ruising can be an ideal vacation for people of any age, but particularly for seniors. Cruises combine all-inclusive meal packages with accommodations, breathtaking ports of call and pre-arranged activities, so vacationers do not have to lift a finger for days on end. Cruising also can be a social activity, meaning singletons can meet up with other like-minded people and enjoy the cruising experience together. Cruise Lines International Association, a global organization advocating for the cruising community, found that 25.8 million passengers expected to take a cruise in 2017, and various cruise companies invested more than $6.8 billion in new ocean vessels.

For water lovers and more active types, a visit to the seashore may be just the ticket.

Cruising Tips And Tricks
great deals or enjoy the experience even further. Consider these tips and tricks, courtesy of Royal Caribbean, The Cruise Critic, the Travel Channel, and other vacationing experts. • Research the ships, and not just the cruise lines. Cruise lines each offer their own amenities and are known for certain features. One cruise line may be a better match for young singles, while others may cater to families. In addition, certain ships may have their own special features such as water slides, athletic events, casinos, and more. Choose a ship that meets your needs. • Arrive the night before. There’s no need to rush to the port to board the ship. Extend the vacation a little further by arriving a night or two before and checking into a nearby hotel. Some hotels may offer free parking or shuttle service to the ship.
• Choose a close port. Select a port within driving distance to avoid airline costs and the extra hassles of coordinating luggage and travel to the port. • Book dining ahead of time. Cruise ships often have a main dining room and then specialty restaurants. If you want a particular meal, make reservations before leaving port. Certain restaurants may offer discounts or perks, such as a free bottle of wine or premiere seating. • Understand what’s included. Cruise ships have many foods and drinks that are included in the packaged price. Certain branded items, such as specialty coffees or ice creams, may be available at an additional charge, as are premium drinks. But chances are you can find a free, similar version elsewhere on the ship. • Explore special discounts. When shopping for a cruise, see if there are discounts avail-
water. For example, Galveston Island’s cruise ports offer an array of activities that appeal to travelers in transition, such as harbor tours and an amusement park pier, along with the island’s ample supply of art galleries, entertainment and architecture. For more ideas and inspiration to start planning your spring break trip, explore TravelTexas.com. able for seniors, teachers, people in the military, or those who belong to certain clubs. Cruises often love to incentivize, so it pays to ask about discount pricing. • Make a list of activities. It can be easy to get overwhelmed by all of the offerings on a cruise ship, so much so that there’s some stress over trying to fit it all in. Recognize that you can’t see or hear it all, and prioritize what’s important to you. Make sure you have plenty of time to relax. • Book at the right time. Cruises may be more available after Labor Day when kids go back to school and the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas when others are too busy to travel. Cruising can be an ideal vacation for travelers who are savvy enough to do their research.

Non Profit Bike Camp Turns Riders With Challenges Into Confident Bicyclists
W
By Cheryl Conway heels are in motion for a local bike camp to teach individuals with disabilities the skills to ride a two-wheel bicycle. iCan Bike–Randolph, N.J. is set to be held this summer, August 6-10, at the County College of Morris gymnasium in Randolph. The camp is being run under the auspices of iCan Shine, an international charitable nonprofit 501 (C) (3) organization; as well as support from the Morris Area Freewheelers Foundation, Marty’s Reliable Cycle and AAA. Held throughout the country, with five camps offered in New Jersey, iCan Bike-Randolph, N.J., brings this great opportunity closer to area residents to learn the best techniques in this popular sport. From learning how to put on a helmet, to wrapping a leg around the bike, to pedaling, balancing and foot motion, individuals can learn the skills required to a successful bike ride. “Sometimes such little steps can mean a lot,” says Judy Lauber of Belmar, co-host for the upcoming Randolph camp along with Diane Doherty of Bloomfield. “They say 80 percent by the end of the class will be able to get out on their own without assistance.” Using adapted custom-built bike equipment with guidance from trained professionals and volunteers, participants in the
five-day iCan Bike program receive 75 minutes of daily instruction. The riders will have two to three volunteer spotters to encourage them and provide physical support if needed while riding. The goal is for each rider to graduate to their own bicycle by the end of the week. “It’s a specialized bike,” explains Lauber. Instead of training wheels used with new riders, “this is a roller that is modified,” to allow the rider to “ease into balancing the bike.” On the back, is a handle so a volunteer can hold the back to support the rider. On Tuesday, known as Tandem Tuesday at the camp, riders will each take a turn to ride on a tandem bicycle with the instructor. “They are in front pseudo-steering but the instructor is really steering from the rear,” says Lauber, which will allow the instructor to see the riders’ struggles and take measures to overcome. The “instructor can see whether they are shaking in the back or if they are wobbling,” says Lauber. “They get to see what’s going on with the participant.” Cost is $200 to attend the camp. Fundraisers are being held to help this nonprofit offset its cost for using the gym, paid professionals to teach the riders, t-shirts and trophies. Riders must be at least 8
years old, weigh below 220 pounds, and be faced with a disability. The camp is “for people with disabilities; it can be a physical disability; it can be a mental disability,” says Lauber. Participants include children and adults, “as long as they can step in and over a bike,” says Lauber. Each registrant fills out a form to specify any restrictions as well as interests so volunteers can engage in conversation during the day, adds Lauber. Each rider will have two to three volunteers assisting them at the camp. Volunteers to help at the camp must be at least 15 years old. Due to space limitation, eight riders are accepted per session. There are five sessions per day, with riders attending
the same session time every day. With eight riders per session, the camp is able to work with a total of 40 riders. Parents or caregivers are required to stay at the camp session, which can beneficial. They get to see their child having fun riding a bike and learn techniques if practice is still required at home; they learn how to hold the seat if practice is still required, explains Lauber. An avid bike rider for more than 20 years as a participant in bike trips throughout the United States, Canada and parts of Europe, Lauber first volunteered last year with Doherty as spotters at the iCan Bike in Lincroft held August 2017 at Brookdale Community College. Lauber and Doherty first met through a bike club 30 continued on page 15

years ago and are currently members of the bike club through Marty’s Reliable Cycle with shops in Randolph, Morristown and Hackettstown. The two ladies were contacted through their bike club to volunteer at the iCan Bike in Lincroft. With such great feedback from riders and parents, and a need for more camps, Doherty got the wheels rolling to start a camp in this area, explains Lauber. “For the campers, it improved self-esteem, confidence and physical fitness,” as stated in a press release. “Biking has the potential for being a family activity since everyone can ride together. Biking proved to be a monumental accomplishment. Everyone from campers
to parents and volunteers were thrilled with the iCan Bike experience!” Lauber explains, “Cost is getting a gym. Three of the days they are in a gym. If you can get a college gym, you need space; there’s eight people riding bikes” at one time. CCM donated the use of their gym for the week.” With Marty’s Reliable Cycle right down the road, “he will be the bike support,” says Lauber. “He will be there talking about bikes, and fitting.” To make the camp a success, organizers are recruiting participants, volunteers and donors.

Rabbi David Nesson To Spotlight ‘Rebel With A Cause’
abbi David Nesson, spiritual leader of Morristown Jewish Center–Beit Yisrael, plans to present a lively three-part series, titled “Rebel with a Cause: The Life, Times and Philosophy of the Excommunicated Heretic Baruch Spinoza—the Man Who Changed Everything.” Nesson’s series, sponsored by National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), West Morris Section, is free and open to the public. The series will take place at noon on Tuesdays, March 6 and 13; and 1 p.m. on Tuesday, March 20, at the Morris County Library, in Whippany. Says Nesson, “In this series we will take a telescopic look at Spinoza’s life and what influenced his philosophy, as well as a microscopic look at some of his most important writings, in-
cluding selections from “Tractatus Theologico: Politicus and Ethics.” We will see how his philosophy impacted the history and practice of religious life ever since.” A renowned speaker and community leader, Nesson serves on the Advisory Board of Directors of Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ. He was a founder and first chair of the MetroWest Rabbinic Cabinet and serves on the Religious Pluralism Committee. He served on the Board of the Hebrew Academy of Morris County (now the Gottesman Academy) as well as the Rabbinic Council of the Golda Och Academy. Preregistration is required for Nesson’s series.

Girl Scouts Cookie Season Kicks Off
A
fter last year’s 100th anniversary of Girl Scouts selling cookies, troops in northern New Jersey are kicking off this season with the return of Girl Scout S’mores, the most popular flavor to launch in the 101 years of Girl Scouts selling cookies. Consumers can fuel transformative leadership experiences and build the next generation of entrepreneurs in northern New Jersey by purchasing Girl Scout S’mores and classic favorites like Thin Mints and Samoas. Girl Scouts will began taking orders for cookies in January. During Girl Scout Cookie season, each G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader) sets out to sell delicious cookies while also building entrepreneurial and business skills that are imperative for

leadership and future success. Almost one million Girl Scouts participate in the cookie program each year. All of the net revenue raised — 100 percent — stays within the community. Girl Scout councils use cookie earnings to power amazing experiences for girls through their program, while girls and their troops decide how to invest in impactful community projects, personal enrichment opportunities, and more. Further, skills girls learn in the cookie program also influence later success: Data shows that more than half (57 percent) of Girl Scout alumnae in business say the cookie program was beneficial to developing skills they possess today, such as money management, goal-setting and public speaking.
