MORRIS COUNTY — The 200 Club of Morris County announced the kickoff of their annual canvassing drive for sponsorships for the year 2022. Unique to canvassing this year will be a change in the time frame of the sponsorships. To address and answer the COVID-19 restrictions and dilemmas of the past year and a half, The 200 Club of Morris County will be extending the term of new sponsorships to include the remainder of 2021 as well as all of 2022. This added benefit to our sponsors will give them several additional months of value without any additional outlay of investment.

To add even more benefit to your annual sponsorship commitment, The 200 Club of Morris County will be celebrating our 50th  Anniversary of serving the first responders in our county in May of 2022. Plans and preparations are now being solidified to make this celebration a memorable one. Additionally, the Board of Trustees has enlisted the services of CMA, an established marketing firm, to help expand our organization’s exposure, visibility, and awareness. This injection of public relations and energy, coupled with the 50th  Anniversary Celebration, will create a buzz for The 200 Club around Morris County and beyond. In so doing, exciting new and fantastic opportunities will be available for our sponsors. Your sponsorship in our organization and mission will expand your business’s outreach to a much greater population of residents in our communities and our increasing membership and first responder family.

Please give great thought to your sponsorship of The 200 Club of Morris County to help us sustain and grow the programs that support our first responder family. Your sponsor benefits will cover the period of September 1, 2021, through December 31, 2022. A list of benefits for each level is below for your review. Please join us and continue to honor our first responders and in so doing, receive the opportunity and benefit to bring new awareness and visibility to your business.

MORRIS COUNTY — Morris County residents interested in serving on the County College of Morris (CCM) Board of Trustees are invited to send their resumes to a special trustee search committee of the Morris County Board of County Commissioners.

Resumes must be received by the search committee by August 27, 2021. The committee will review all the applications and then submit recommendations to the Morris County Board of County Commissioners, who will make the appointments.

Morris County is seeking to fill three board seats. One appointment is to fill a vacant, unexpired term that expires on October 31, 2023.  The other two appointments are to fill two four-year terms, which terms will begin on November 1, 2021.

The two sitting trustees must reapply by the August 27 deadline if they wish to be considered for reappointment.

To qualify for consideration by the search committee, a candidate must be a resident of Morris County for at least four years, and may not hold a current elected office in Morris County or be an employee of Morris County government or CCM.

Applicants must be able to demonstrate independent judgment, distinction in their profession, knowledge of higher education, involvement in their community, and a firm commitment to serving the college. A candidate must be willing to commit at least 20-30 hours a month to his or her duties as a college trustee to be considered for appointment.

Duties of trustees include appointing, supporting, and evaluating the college president; clarifying and, if necessary, revising the college’s mission statement, ratifying long-term plans, approving the college’s educational program, ensuring fiscal viability, and maintaining the college’s physical plant.

The CCM search committee requests a resume and a background statement from each applicant outlining why he or she wishes to serve as a trustee and what specific skills the applicant would bring to the board.

The County College of Morris Board of Trustees is composed of 11 Morris County residents from business, education, law, and other professional fields, who volunteer their services in four-year terms.

By statute, eight members are appointed by the Morris County Board of County Commissioners, and two members are appointed by the governor. The Morris County Superintendent of Schools is also a member of the Board by statute. One non-voting CCM graduate member is elected for a one-year term by each year’s graduating class. In addition, the CCM President serves as an ex-officio member.

The Board of Trustees sets policy and has final authority over budgets and expenditures, and the president is responsible for internal administrative operations.

Murphy and Persichilli Strongly Recommend Masking in Indoor Settings

MORRIS COUNTY — Following the recent announcement by the Centers for Disease Control regarding masking, Governor Phil Murphy and New Jersey Department of Health Commissioner Judy Persichilli strongly recommended that both vaccinated and unvaccinated residents wear masks in indoor settings when there is increased risk.  
Examples of such situations include:
• Crowded indoor settings
• Indoor settings involving activities with close contact with others who may not be fully vaccinated
• Indoor settings where the vaccine status of other individuals in the setting is unknown
• Where an individual is immunocompromised or at increased risk for severe disease 
Governor Murphy and Commissioner Persichilli made the following statement:
“Our metrics are trending in the wrong direction, and new data suggests the Delta variant is more transmissible even among vaccinated individuals, which is why we are making this strong recommendation.  
“Fortunately, our numbers are a fraction of those in many other states, most of which have significantly lower vaccination rates. Should our numbers reach those levels, we reserve the right to take more drastic action, including a statewide mask mandate. 
“We have crushed this virus repeatedly like no other state in the nation, and we are proud to boast among the country’s highest vaccination rates. But at this point, given where our metrics are now, we feel the best course of action is to strongly encourage every New Jerseyan, and every visitor to our state, to take personal responsibility and mask up indoors when prudent. 
“And we equally encourage every unvaccinated resident or visitor to get vaccinated. The vaccines are proven safe and highly effective, and are the surest way we can end this pandemic.”

PARSIPPANY — Eighty-eight golfers hit the course at the Essex Fells Country Club on May 14 to participate in Delta Dental of New Jersey (DDNJ)’s 31st Annual Golf Classic, raising more than $82,000 for Special Olympics New Jersey (SONJ).

This was the first large-scale in-person event DDNJ held since New Jersey began lifting its COVID-19 restrictions this spring. Proceeds enable thousands of SONJ athletes across the Garden State to resume their in-person competitions for the first time since 2019.

Steve Adubato, a broadcaster/columnist/author, was the emcee, with Dennis Wilson, President, and CEO of DDNJ, Heather Andersen, President, and CEO of SONJ, and Heather Schwam, a SONJ athlete, also making remarks. Over the past 30 years, New Jersey’s leading dental benefits company has raised more than $1.58 million for SONJ.

“The opportunity to empower Special Olympics athletes to compete and achieve their athletic dreams is priceless,” said Dennis Wilson. “We’re proud to support such a tremendous organization who goes above and beyond for their athletes.”

Kimball Dancker served as the event’s Featured Sponsor, along with other major event supporters including, MWW, Summit Health, New Jersey Dental Association, Brown & Brown Insurance, and Delta Dental of New Jersey Board of Trustees. Raffle prizes and golfer gifts supported New Jersey small businesses. DDNJ worked with Just Jersey, Morristown, NJ to put together each golfer gift that highlighted various small businesses through New Jersey including, Bellview Winery, Popcorn for People: Gourmet Popcorn, Jersey Boys Jerky, and Mt. Lebanon Soap Company.

“For more than 30 years, Special Olympics New Jersey has benefitted from our partnership with Delta Dental of New Jersey,” said Heather Andersen. “More athletes can participate and be strengthened in mind, body, and spirit, because of Delta Dental’s generous support.”

Highlights from this year’s Golf Classic can be viewed on SONJ’s dedicated Golf Classic event recap page.
