Written by Local Media NJ Staff on February 3, 2023. Posted in CRANFORD LOCAL, WESTFIELD LOCAL. Leave a Comment

The Garwood and Cranford Knights of Columbus Councils held a joint Final Four fundraiser last year to help and assist Cranford Firefighter Rob Hurewitz and his family after hearing about the end of his career as a Cranford Firefighter due to medical issues. When Ellen Ramer of Martin’s Jewelers saw what we had done for Rob, she reached out to our Council to see how we could work together to help him some more. Ellen graciously donated a beautiful pair of diamond earrings that we were able to raffle off as a fundraiser. Working together with Ellen and with the support of Caren Demyen of Downtown...

Financial Housekeeping for 2023

Written by Local Media NJ Staff on January 9, 2023. Posted in Local Finance. Leave a Comment

By Jessica Perrone Ladies, no one ever plans to be sick or disabled. Yet knowing the financial ins and outs of the household can make all the difference in an emergency. Women also live longer than men; according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the average American man will live to 76, while the average woman will live to 81. I don’t want to be a “Debbie Downer,” but imagine a scenario where your partner cannot communicate the ins and outs of your joint finances. For these reasons, women should speak to their partners about household money matters before an emergency happens. I know,...

For our hands-on activities, we try to replicate authentic foods and games to engage students and submerge them in the culture. For the Japanese culture meeting, we...
