Exciting Things Happening in Mendham Township

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

A lot of exciting things are happening in Mendham Township! On Monday, September 13th, the Historic Park at Pitney Farm was officially opened to the public!<https://www.morriscountynj.gov/Morris-County-News/Morris-County-Mendham-Tow…> The park was built after years of planning and public input on a seven-acre tract acquired by Mendham Township in 2009. It features walking trails that are handicap accessible, grassy lawns, and meadow-like areas for passive recreation. This project has been spearheaded by Former Mayor Diana Orban Brown and the Township Committee Task Force which included a large stakeholder group. Since August when Deputy Mayor Nick Monaghan announced the fundraising campaign for the new park, there have been over $20,000 in dedications made, which includes many new trees as well as additional amenities, such as benches and bluebird houses. There are still many items to adopt to “Make Your Mark on the Park.” Please click here for more information<https://register.communitypass.net/reg/cat_program_class_detail.cfm?s=&t=&s…>. Special thanks to Bill Moran and the “Gardening Angels'' who spent countless hours working this past summer - weeding, planting new greenery, and assisting in the general maintenance within the walled garden to prepare it for the grand opening! If you haven’t had a chance to visit the Historic Park at Pitney Farm or the walled garden yet, I encourage you to check it out! Additionally, this past Monday, September 27th, Mendham Township broke ground on its new Police Station Building<https://patch.com/new-jersey/mendham-chester/mendham-township-police-break-…>. Over the last 30 years, there have been multiple efforts and proposals to update Mendham Township Police Department’s Headquarters. Unfortunately, for one reason or another, none of those efforts came to fruition until now. Due to the commitment of the Mendham Township Committee’s investment in its infrastructure, we are excited that the Mendham Township Police Department will have a new home by July 2022. The new police station project is part of a larger Township infrastructure plan which also includes upgrades to the existing Town Hall building and library. To learn more, visit mendhamtownship.org<http://mendhamtownship.org/>. As many of you know, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Mendham Township’s Recreation Department, headed by Recreation Director David Guida, expanded its event offerings significantly. We are happy to report that this October is no different! On Saturday, October 9th, join us for a Doggy Dip at Brookside Beach from 10:00am - 12:00pm. Later that evening, we are hosting our 2nd Annual Haunted Hike at Ralston/Wysong parks. From 6:00pm - 7:00pm the hike will be suitable for younger children, and 7:00pm - 8:00pm we will have a super spooky option for folks of all ages. On Monday, October 18th, the band Brian Kirk and the Jerks is coming back to Mendham Township for our 2nd Annual Free Fall Concert from 6:00pm - 7:30pm. If you have any questions, please contact David Guida at dguida(a)mendhamtownship.org. On Sunday, October 31st, the Township is having its 2nd Annual Mendham Halloween Party and Costume Contest on Brookside Field from 1:00pm - 3:00pm. This event is open to all ages - there will be games, crafts, music, and prizes. As we prepare for the next budget season, David, Township Committeeman Jordan Orlins, and I will be hosting a listening session on Wednesday, October 20th at 7:00pm at the Mendham Township Municipal Building. We would like to hear any ideas that the community has for additional recreation programming. Hope you have a great rest of your weekend. Sarah Neibart Mayor, Mendham Township

Brooksiders & Mendham Township: Let's Help Jason Get Some Wheels!

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

For years, Rita and Jason ran our little Post Office with the local flavor of the 1950's. We sadly lost Rita, but have been lucky enough to still have Jason. Jason lost his car in flooding from Storm Ida. Shortly before that, his wife's car was totaled when a bus hit it (no injuries, thankfully). The below link is a GoFundMe started by Melissa Clark to help the family with any costs not covered by insurance: Fundraiser by Melissa Clark : Help Jason Get Some Wheels! (gofundme.com)<https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-jason-get-some-wheels> You will see that a number of our neighbors have already been so generous. Please consider adding any amount to show your appreciation for our community member and his family! [cid:image001.png@01D7B60C.97AE6310]

Information on Pfizer’s COVID-19 Booster Dose & Third Doses in NJ

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

This past week, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) amended the emergency use authorization for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine to allow for a third dose to be administered at least six months after the initial series of shots in certain populations. On Wednesday, the FDA<https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-authorizes-booster-…> recommended that the populations that are recommended to receive an additional dose are individuals 65 years of age and older, individuals 18 through 64 years of age at high risk of severe COVID-19, and individuals 18 through 64 years of age whose frequent institutional or occupational exposure to SARS-CoV-2 puts them at high risk of severe COVID-19. Yesterday, the CDC Director<https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/p0924-booster-recommendations-.html> endorsed the CDC<https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html> Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ recommendation for a booster shot of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine in those 65 and older, residents of long-term care facilities, and people ages 50 to 64 with underlying medical conditions. The CDC Director went further and recommended that those 18 through 49 with underlying medical conditions and people 18 through 64 years of ago who are at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission because of occupational or institutional settings may receive an additional dose of the Pfizer vaccine at least 6 months after their initial Pfizer series. The immunocompromised population in New Jersey has already been eligible to receive a third dose of both the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines since mid-August<https://covid19.nj.gov/faqs/nj-information/testing-and-treatment/who-should…>. There are 1,658 COVID-19 vaccination locations throughout the state of NJ. A complete list of NJ’s vaccination centers is available online at covid19.nj.gov/pages/finder. The homebound population will continue to be served by local and county providers. The intake form can be found at covid19.nj.gov/homeboundvax. For assistance completing the survey by phone, individuals can call the NJ COVID-19 Vaccination Call Center at (855) 568-0545. Have a good weekend and take care.
