It's almost surprising to me how many people in Glen Rock have no idea that this hidden oasis…read moreexists, but alas it does, and it's abundance of wildlife and beauty still manage to take my breath every time I visit. Tucked off of Doremus Ave., just short of the pool is a woodchip lined walkway that will guide you through a path of wonder to the beautifully maintained and manicured arboretum. Surrounding the fountained pond are countless types of flowers and trees all with placards identifying the species and from where they were derived, a large gazebo sits atop a brick paved walk much of which is engraved with donors of the parks mission of preservation and conservation. The park is maintained by The Friends of the Glen Rock Arboretum, and have a myriad of volunteer opportunities that many of the local schools and residents partake in. Most recently they've begun developing plans for an environmental center which will provide educational resourcing to the town. This is a spectacular community gem that has been a mainstay since the early 1900s, and there's good reason for it...visit, and you'll know why.

Do you want to do something that will make you feel good? Why not get together with some friends or…read morebusiness partners and go volunteer in your community? Today, one of the professional organizations I belong to sponsored a Community Service Day at CUMAC in Paterson, NJ. Their website describes CUMAC as a "non-profit organization dedicated to feeding people and changing lives. Our team works to alleviate hunger and its root causes for those in need in Paterson, Passaic County and northern New Jersey." Our team worked on breaking down the fruits and vegetables donated by local supermarkets into individual family-sized bags. What a wonderful feeling it is to help people and make a difference in someone's life. I know we did today. CUMAC also has a thrift store on site, but lots of the clothing are given away to families under stress. Business suits are also available for client's job interviews. It is a very humbling experience to spend a few hours in service to others. Now it's your turn......

'Tis the season to lend a helping hand. What a great time I had being able to help those in need…read more The event started at 6 p.m. and ran through 8 p.m. We were given a tour of the place (which is pretty spacious) The staff here consists of about 19 people I believe who spend their day doing a wide variety of things. In the two hour time span I was at the event you're really working all the way through so I can only imagine what the people that work here on a daily basis go through to make sure that every client has what they need. Simply put, this was a great event. I give this place 5 stars all around for what they stand for and represent. Helping the community is #majorKEY. So, if you're ever in the area stop by, donate, and perhaps check out their thrift shop that they have. Since this is a non- profit organization sometimes supplies and money can be tight. So a lot of the thrift shop money is used to buy other goods, etc. So definitely get out and help if you're able.

There's a lot of seating throughout and you should be able to find a quiet spot. They have the newer self checkout kiosks now so you don't have to chit chat if that's not your thing. The librarians do seem friendly though. The cafe isn't open past 6 on any day but it seems to have sandwiches, soups and baked goods; there are a few tables to sit as well. Parking lot is large and shared with the municipal building. An easy walk into town for food and shopping.
