MASK UP! As part of the state’s efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is encouraging the public to wear face coverings when visiting the state’s open spaces. We, in Mendham Township, encourage residents and visitors to explore our hiking and biking trails, and the ponds and streams that run right through our backyards. In a continued effort to stop the spread of COVID-19, we ask that, when you are enjoying open spaces, you do your part and “MASK UP!” Take part in keeping our community safe, healthy and strong. We commend you on your continued efforts to maintain social distances of 6 feet or more, in being mindful of others when hiking and biking on trails and on wearing face coverings in public. Thank you, Mendham Township, and remember to, “Mask Up!” [cid:64661340-550f-4e92-a791-94aa6169c845]

Mendham Township: Begin Your Week with Appreciation

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

A couple of notes to begin your week: This Week is National EMS Week: National EMS week was created to honor Emergency Medical Service practitioners. If there was ever a time to recognize their work and dedication to our communities, it is now! Our Mendham Township EMS volunteers are on the front lines with COVID-19, in addition to handling the many other calls they receive to assist us with our injuries and illnesses. They are risking their lives every day to protect ours. Let's show our appreciation with a simple but meaningful act-- placing a heart on our front doors or windows. As they drive through our town, these EMS workers will be able to see that we are thinking of them each day and are grateful for their selfless service. Feel free to print and paste the following image on your doors/windows or be creative by making your own. [cid:image001.jpg@01D62D1D.0838F3E0] [cid:image002.jpg@01D62D1D.0838F3E0] Sirens for Solidarity: As a friendly reminder, we will be sounding the emergency siren throughout Mendham Township tonight at 6pm to support our neighbors who have been directly impacted by COVID-19 and to honor our frontline workers and first responders. When you hear the siren, step outside for a few minutes (on your front steps or in your yard), wave, clap your hands, and make some noise in solidarity. [cid:image003.jpg@01D62D1D.0838F3E0]

May 20 Webinar on Maintaining Positive Mental Health During COVID-19

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the Mendhams Stigma-Free Task Force invites residents to learn what they can do to prioritize mental health, build resiliency and support those who are struggling, especially during this challenging time. The national theme from Mental Health America is “Tools2Thrive," with a focus on practical tools anyone can use to improve their mental health. One of the easiest tools is taking an online mental health screen at www.mhascreening.org. It’s a quick, free and private way for people to assess their mental health and recognize signs of potential problems. You are then encouraged to follow up with a doctor or therapist, if results point in that direction. Another opportunity to get information is joining a special Zoom Webinar on Wednesday, May 20, at 7:30 p.m., featuring Bob Davison, the CEO of the Mental Health Association of Morris & Essex counties. The interactive Webinar will focus on “Maintaining Positive Mental Health during COVID-19.” To participate, please RSVP to mendhamstigmafree(a)gmail.com<mailto:mendhamstigmafree@gmail.com>. After registering, residents will receive a Zoom link for the event. All month, residents can follow and interact with the Mendhams Stigma-Free Task Force through their Facebook page @mendhamstigmafree. Look for daily updates, including videos, resources, family activities and more based on a theme that repeats each week, from Saturday Stories to Mindful Mondays and Fun Fridays. In addition to social media, the Task Force has placed lawn signs around the community with hopeful messages, including "We Are All in This Together," "Don't Give Up” and "You Matter.” The Task Force will continue to provide support and information to residents throughout the year, as part of the ongoing mission to end the stigma around mental health, substance use and other challenges faced by individuals and families in the Mendhams.

Eight Weeks In: A Message to Mendham Township Residents

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

Tomorrow will be eight weeks since Governor Murphy signed the Stay-at-Home order. These measures, though necessary, are taking a toll on all of us. Despite the challenges that we are facing - as individuals, as families, and as a town - our community has made considerable strides in flattening the curve. I am proud to announce that today was the 7th day in a row that we did not have any new COVID-19 positive cases in Mendham Township. This is a testament to how seriously our community has taken the social distancing guidelines and how much we care about the health of our neighbors. Over the last couple of weeks, the daily positive test rate across the state of New Jersey has continued to flow downward and the virus spread has slowed, considerably. Additionally, new overall hospitalizations are down by roughly half since our state’s peak, and more than one-third over the past couple of weeks. Also, the numbers of patients in intensive care and on ventilators have both dropped significantly over the last few weeks. This is incredibly encouraging news - news that has caused Governor Murphy to start lessening restrictions across the state. On April 29th, Governor Murphy signed an order to reopen county and state parks. This past Wednesday, the Governor announced that starting at 6:00am on Monday, May 18th, non-essential retail stores will be allowed to reopen for curbside pickup service and non-essential construction will be able to resume. Yesterday, the Governor announced that beaches, boardwalks, and lakes throughout New Jersey will be opened in time for Memorial Day and restroom facilities at the state parks will be allowed to reopen. Today, the Governor signed an Executive Order allowing for elective surgical and other invasive procedures to resume on Tuesday, May 26th. These actions are major milestones. As the state continues to receive encouraging health data that is helping to determine dates of reopening and the lessening of restrictions, I want to remind folks to keep up with social distancing and limit your community movement. Spending time outdoors can help you stay healthy but please recreate responsibly. Have a great weekend! Sarah Neibart Mayor, Mendham Township

NJ Census Day of Action 2020

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

Today - Thursday, May 14th is the NJ Census Day of Action and we are asking you to Call Those Who Count On You to see how they’re doing and to ask them to fill out their all-important Census. For this to happen we need your help. If you could please send this information out to your networks, and ask them to participate, you would be taking a big step to help our community over the next 10 years. Accurate Census data will be very instrumental in helping to address the effects of COVID-19 through federal funding that could help with recovery efforts. We are asking as many folks as possible to participate in the Friends and Family Outreach call program. It’s simple to do and you can do it from the comfort of your own home. Everything you need is provided right here to start making calls: https://nj.gov/state/census-outreach.shtml<https://nj.gov/state/census-outreach.shtml?fbclid=IwAR1Vscb81l1K2pxgjDNBkC8…>. Here’s how the call program works – You call at least five (5) friends, neighbors or family members to check and see how they are doing. Then also ask if they’ve had a chance to fill out their Census. If they haven’t, we’ve provided info so that you can tell them why it’s so important. Then ask those who said yes to call 5 of their friends and family members - And so on, and so on. As a friend, neighbor, or relative you’re a trusted voice. And there is no one more effective than you to ask those you know to fill out their Census. Key message for the Day of Action: The amount of New Jersey’s federal funding related to COVID recovery depends on the completeness of the Census count. It’s that important. It’s not too late to respond to the 2020 Census while being safe and practicing social distancing at home. Day of Action Social Media Posts – Facebook Post Link: Please consider sharing the Facebook post promoting the Census Day of Action on your Facebook Page: https://tinyurl.com/ya35czjt. When you post use the hashtag: #NJCensus2020 Ready to fill out your own Census responses? Go to: 2020census.gov [cid:0f92f623-5e7a-4b0d-9e46-5f0dfed17cff]
