MADISON — Martin Heller and his family, together with Carol Armour, President and CEO of the Greater Morristown YMCA, held a dedication ceremony in memory of the late Margaret M. Heller at Harmony House Adult Day Center on Division Street, on Monday, October 28.

Known affectionately as “Peggy”, a bronze plaque was installed in her name, commemorating her devoted commitment to providing a safe and caring place for cognitively impaired adults suffering from dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Peggy’s wish was to create a haven for these friends in order to provide them with an outlet to get together, sing songs, play games, and enjoy each other’s company, in a safe and nurturing environment. In addition to providing friends with a safe haven under the guidance of Micheline Hill, a certified person of elder care, this also enabled their caregivers to enjoy a much needed respite from providing round the clock care.

Active in 49 charities, Peggy was awarded the Unsung Heroine’s Award for the Protection of the Elderly by Senator Bill Bradley and the Thomas Kean Award for Outstanding Service to Senior Citizens.

Additionally, she received the Outstanding Service Award of Family Service of Morris County and the New Jersey Volunteer Service Award for Children and Families. Today, five years after the opening of Harmony House, over 20 families send their loved ones to Harmony House each week, which made Peggy extremely proud. Harmony House will always be a place for friends, thanks to the kindness and generosity of Peggy.

MORRIS COUNTY — The Morris County Tourism Bureau creates a holiday ornament annually and this year’s version features the artwork of Thomas Nast, an important 19th century political cartoonist and longtime Morristown resident.

This ornament is not sold in stores, only through the Morris County Tourism Bureau.

This year’s edition is based on Nast’s drawing called “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow, so say we all of us.” This glass ornament features Santa Claus at the piano singing “for He’s a Jolly Good Fellow.” This image appeared in Harper’s Bazaar Magazine – predecessor to Harper’s Bazaar in January 1886 and in other books featuring Nast’s art.

The ornaments are manufactured in the U.S.A. using only American-made materials. Each ornament is $10.00.

To reserve one in time for the holidays, call (973) 631-5151, email the Tourism Bureau at canton@morristourism.org, or visit their website by clicking here.

Because the ornaments are fragile, we request that they be picked up from the Morris County Tourism Bureau, 6 Court Street, during regular office hours.
