The Womanʼs Club of Westwood welcomed members and friends on Wednesday, July 23, for its Third Annual Garden Party, hosted by The Contemporaries committee at the private home of a member. The evening celebrated the season, community, and the Clubʼs 2025 beneficiaries. Guests arrived in festive floral attire and contributed their favorite blooms to a DIY arrangement station, crafting personalized bouquets — one of many creative touches that underscored the eventʼs joyful spirit. Adding to the ambiance, Market House, a woman-owned business in downtown Westwood, hosted a pop-up boutique with plants, candles, jewelry, and accessories, donating 10% of the eveningʼs proceeds back to the Club in support of The Contemporariesʼ mission to uplift local businesses. First vice president and membership chair Lynda Bager shared highlights from a successful year of fundraising and

*FIRST MONTH. WITH COMMITMENT TO CONTINUE.
Residents can now drop off household recyclables at Town Hall outside of regular curbside collection times, thanks to a no-cost arrangement with Gaeta Recycling, Mayor Peter Calamari announced at the Aug. 11 meeting of the governing body. Under the agreement, Gaeta has placed two recycling Dumpsters at Town Hall for public use. Calamari said the added service is intended to give residents more flexibility in managing recyclables. An Ecology Permit sticker is required, and standard separation rules remain in effect: paper and cardboard must be sorted and flattened, and kept separate from bottles, glass, and cans. Plastic bags are not accepted. Drop-off hours align with the Department of Public Worksʼ debris disposal schedule: • Tuesdays: 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. • Saturdays: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Calamari thanked Gaeta Recycling for supporting the program at no cost to the township. Additional details are available on the DPW webpage.
