Instead of thinking what you want to ‘give up’ as a sacrifice, we invite you to consider what you might ‘give up’ or do less of to make room to do more of what you love, or connect with who you love. Our Lenten series (leading up to Easter) invites us to minimize distractions in order to make room in our life for what truly matters. Consider commiting to 40 Hours of Connection, here.
More information on seasonal activities to help you connect are found here.

BYE-BYE WINTER BLUES
Let's come together as a community to "Beat the Winter Blues!" On Sunday, Feb. 25, from 2 p.m. - 5 p.m., join friends and neighbors for an afternoon of fun at the Brookside Community Club, hosted by the Mendhams Stigma-Free Task Force.
This free party is for everyone – kids, seniors and all residents in between. It features Kahoot trivia games, creative arts & crafts, prizes, a hot chocolate bar, therapy pups to cuddle, snacks, music and more! In these cold winter months, we could all use an afternoon to recharge and renew connections. We especially welcome new residents to meet others in our community!
Please contact Committeewoman Amalia Duarte, the Task Force Chair, with questions at aduarte@mendhamtownship.org
