MORRIS COUNTY —The 200 Club of Morris County announced that it welcomed 45 new members at a recent recruitment event at Jersey Girl Brewing in Mount Olive.

The nonprofit continues to support local and state police, fire, and EMS personnel who protect the families in Morris County. Since 1971, The 200 Club has given more than $5 million to first responder families, either in the form of death benefits and dependent awards when a first responder dies in the line of duty, as well as college scholarships to high school seniors of Morris County first responders, or seniors who are Morris County first responders themselves.

“Our members help us keep our promise to the first responders who protect and care for our families,” said Jim Rizzo, who is the president of The 200 Club of Morris County. “We will continue to grow our community so we can give back to all the police officers, firefighters, and EMS personnel that sacrifice themselves for us.”

The recruitment event included a tour of the 10,000 square-foot brewery where all members enjoyed specialty craft beers generously provided by Jersey Girl Brewing owner Chuck Aaron, who is also a board member of The 200 Club, along with abundant appetizers and light fare, courtesy of Enzo’s Ristorante & Pizzeria of Mt. Olive. As an event-planning destination, Jersey Girl Brewing Co. provided the perfect venue for the evening’s event, boasting a sample room with high-top tables and an outdoor beer garden.

Rizzo thanked the well-deserved efforts of Vice President Rob D’Emidio, Membership Committee Chair V.P. Joe Jannarone, Chairman of the Board Bill Lockwood, board and club members, and supporters for a successful event.

MADISON — Madison is waiting for Morris County to certify the borough’s tax rate, announced Madison Council President Maureen Byrne who was filling in for Astri Baillie who did not attend the recent council meeting.

If the county does certify the tax rate this week, the Madison Tax Collector’s Office will mail out bills to residents this week, said Byrne.

Payments are due August 1, 2021, but a grace period will be allowed and no penalties will be assessed if payment is received by August 10. Council President Byrne stressed that payments must be received by August 10.

Residents who may be away and don’t want to incur penalties and late fees have two options for their August tax bill, said Byrne. Residents can pay their taxes online with a checking account or they can mail in a check with last quarter’s amount.

As always, residents are encouraged to check www.rosenet.org for updates.

MADISON — Madison Area YMCA’s 20th LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA class graduated on Thursday, July 1. The LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA program supports cancer survivors and their families through a no-fee, 12-week, research-based program that engages them in physical and social activities to strengthen the whole person.

Bringing those affected by cancer a significant step forward toward sustained healthy living beyond cancer diagnosis and recovery, survivors are encouraged to come as they are, no matter what stage of wellness they are in. The 12-week program brings together cancer survivors and YMCA staff trained in cancer care to achieve goals such as building muscle mass and strength; increasing flexibility and endurance; improving confidence and self-esteem; and ultimately practicing a healthy lifestyle, not only as a part of recovery but as a way of life.

In existence since 2013, the no-fee program which also offers complimentary Y services to survivors’ family members, receives support from our community through donations and sponsorships.

To learn more about LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA, please contact Health & Wellness Director Christian Esola by email at [email protected] or call the Madison Area YMCA at 973-822-YMCA (9622).

The Madison Area YMCA is a mission-driven charitable organization dedicated to strengthening the community through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Generous donations make it possible for everyone in the community to be enriched by the Y, regardless of ability to pay, to develop a healthy spirit, mind, and body at any age.
