Donate Or Shop For Fabulous Finds At Local Resale Shop

And Support Eyewear For Needy

By Cheryl Conway
alloween has come and gone like a flash of a
pumpkins eyes, as the holidays can be seen in the
distant future.
Why not stop in at the New Eyes for the Needy and Fabulous Finds Resale Shop in Short Hills and take a peek at
a wide assortment of new inventory: fine and vintage jewelry, watches, new designer sunglasses and small decorative items for the home.
Located on the second floor at 549 Millburn Ave., one
hundred percent of sales go to fund eyeglasses for the
needy in the United States. The next select Saturday sale is
Dec. 5, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the big Christmas sale.
Run by 100 percent volunteers, the shop stands by its
original purpose of helping to provide eyewear to people
who do not have the means to get a prescription.
Its a timeless mission; its never waved from its mission of helping people throughout the world and the U.S.,
says Jean Gajano, executive director of New Eyes for the

Needy and Fabulous Finds Resale Shop. As volunteer at

the shop since 2009, Gajano believes in that mission.
I have horrible eyesight; I have minus 10 and minus
nine, which is considered legally blind, says Gajano. Ive
had access to corrective eyewear; I cant imagine getting
out of bed every morning without eyewear. You cant read
a bus schedule; you cant read a prescription bottle. Unless
you have that poor vision, you cant imagine how people
can live without eyeglasses.
Glasses are expensive, continues Gajano. The people
we help are at or below poverty level. The dont have
money for eye glasses.
Since 1932, New Eyes has provided clear vision to more
than eight million people in the U.S. and throughout the
world. It purchases new prescription eyeglasses for U.S.
residents in financial need and distributes used glasses to
the disadvantaged in developing countries.
Founded by the late Julia Lawrence Terry of Short Hills,
the idea originated when Terry worked as a volunteer at an
American Red Cross food depot during the Depression. She
had realized that so many people could not read, so she had
started asking people for used eye glasses from the neighborhood, explains Gajano.
They needed reading glasses to fill out papers, she
says. She filled up shoe boxes; asked churches, and
would carry the glasses to NY.
Terry soon realized that the eyeglasses being donated
were made of precious metals, so she decided to bring them
to a smelting shop in Newark to melt down the gold to be
used as a source of income to pay for new glasses, explains
Gajano.
She located a refiner and enlisted the help of opticians.

New Eyes for the Needy was born,as stated on the website.
In 1958, New Eyes for the Needy was incorporated in
NJ as a non-profit charitable organization.
With the donation of glasses came the donation of gold
jewelry, giftware, watches and sterling silver so formed a
resale shop Fabulous Finds, opening in 1961 a new headquarters, its existing location on Millburn Avenue. A downstairs extension was added in 1963 and an upstairs addition
completed in 1967 for use as a Jewelry & Giftware Showroom.
We just spread, says Gajano.

For the holidays, featured items will include some great crystal wine glasses,
Christmas items like serving platters and
Christmas theme jewelry, says Gajano.
The Fabulous Finds Resale Shop is a Great
place for a lovely gift, says Gajano. Want
to make an impression but dont want to
break your wallet? This is where you want
to come. Theres great gold and diamond
necklaces that would make great Christmas
presents.
Most items sold at the store are used or
donated, and then resold at one third the retail price. Items include fine, costume and

vintage jewelry; watches; sterling silver

bracelets; beautiful earrings; crystal; silver;
small giftware; collectibles; small gifts; designer sunglasses; and reading glasses.
All proceeds go to a new prescription
program for U.S. residents. During the last
two years, $40,000 in proceeds per year has
gone to the New Eyes national and international program, says Gajano. The store used
to generate $75,000 per year in proceeds,
but with greater access to sell gold jewelry,
the shop has been receiving less donations
of gold to resell.
Through the program customers
throughout the U.S. apply for a voucher

Volunteers Needed

ew Jersey Blood Services, a division of New York Blood Center,

which supplies blood products and
services to 60 hospitals throughout the
state, is in need of volunteers at blood
drives. The blood service volunteer is an integral member of the collection team whose
task it is assist donors with registration, es-

corting and canteen duties, and to watch for

post donation reactions. Volunteers should
have the ability to relate to the public, be
able to perform different jobs as needed and
have the willingness to follow the rules. For
additional information contact, Manager of
Community Relations, R. Jan Zepka at 732616-8741 or zepka@nybloodcenter.org.

through their social service agency; if approved they receive a voucher worth about
$60 which allows them to visit any optical
dispenser for a pair of prescription glasses.
Thousands of locations accept our
vouchers, says Gajano, with Walmart Vision Center our biggest acceptor.
In 2014-2015, New Eyes helped 6,668
U.S. residents in need and recycled 250,000
glasses in 21 developing countries.
The store receives from individual donations, special events, foundation gifts and
corporate gifts. For its international program, New Eyes donates used eye glasses
received from corporations, churches, and
scouts.
Because of federal regulations, eyes
glasses cannot be reused in the U.S. since
they are considered a medical device, explains Gajano. But other countries will take
and use the glasses.
We partner with overseas groups, says
Gajano, such as United For Sight, Feed The
Children, Physicians For Peace. We send
them to eye doctors and they distribute to
their patients. The people we help, that is

the only pair of glasses they will own. They

will take any reading glasses; it doesnt
need to be perfect, it has to be close.
The Fabulous Finds store is managed by
dedicated, local volunteers- most who have
been there for more than 20 years- who sell,
organize, price and itemize the merchandise, says Gajano. For the New Eyes for
the Needy, a core group of 85 volunteers
help sort the donated glasses.
Items can be dropped off Mon.-Thurs.,
9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; or Fri., 9 a.m. to noon. For
after hours, use the drop box in the rear of
the building or place in slot at back door to
drop off jewelry donations. For acknowledgement or tax receipt, leave name and
phone number.
Items must be in good condition. As
long as its not beyond repair, we will accept it.
The store is open on Thurs., 1 p.m.-3
p.m.; and about five to six select Saturdays
during the year. Donations of jewelry,
watches and small gift items are accepted
at the store. For more information, 973376-4903 or www.new-eyes.org.

Make sure gifts arrive on time

When buying gifts online or mailing

them to faraway loved ones, consumer
must leave ample time for shipping.

ome the holiday season, shipping companies work around

the clock to ensure packages,
merchandise and more make it to their
destinations on time. What would December holidays be without gifts

under the tree?

In 2013, overtaxed carriers failed to meet Christmas deadlines
for many packages. Some analysts say big retailers and carriers
may have underestimated consumers growing reliance on online
shopping especially for last-minute presents. Since those
mishaps, both UPS and FedEx have spent millions on upgrades.
More fuel-efficient planes, upgrades to air cargo networks and improved infrastructure and ground shipping operations have helped
shipping companies better handle the increased volume.
As shipping companies work harder to ensure holiday packages
arrive at their destinations on time, there also are things consumers
can do to increase the chances that gifts make it under the tree before the big day.
Shop as early as possible. If you plan to buy online or ship
gifts to family and friends, shop early so the gifts have time to
make it to their destinations. Make a list of all the people whose
gifts you will need to mail, then shop for their gifts first so you will
have ample time for them to arrive on time.
Double-check all mailing addresses. Make sure you have the
correct addresses for all friends or family members you will be
sending gifts to. An incorrect address can result in packages being
returned to sender or floating around in shipping limbo. All of this
only decreases the likelihood that gifts will arrive on time.
Consider a ship-to-store option. A number of big retailers now
offer various options that allow customers to purchase items online

and pick them up in a nearby store. In-stock items may be available

the same day, while others may have to be shipped to the store for a
later pickup.
Enter shipping parameters. Signing up for either My FedEx or
MyUPS gives you a little extra control over how packages are sent
to you. For example, you can request that packages be held at a delivery center or you can presign for deliveries. These perks can help
limit some lost or delayed packages.
Use proper postage. Bulky envelopes or large packages are better off brought to the post office for shipping instead of mailing
them from home. Inadequate postage could stall delivery of your
items and have them returned to you.
Research shipping cut-off dates. Shipping carriers often list the
last days to ship for their services so that packages will arrive by
the date you need them. This way you can plan around the cutoffs.
Sign up for membership programs. Online retailers, such as
Amazon, offer expedited shipping on many products as part of their
membership programs. For example, Amazon Prime-eligible products will generally arrive within two business days as part of your
annual membership fee. The added cost may be well worth the
peace of mind fast shipping provides.
An increase in online shopping as well as families living further
apart has led to a high volume of gifts being shipped around the
holidays. Plan accordingly so that gifts will arrive on time.

ings to consider when hosting for the holidays

oliday hosts have a lot on their plates. The work of

holiday hosting does not begin when the first guest
arrives. It starts weeks before, when homeowners
begin preparing their homes for overnight guests.
Because the holiday season can be so busy, its easy for
hosts to overlook certain things as the day their first guests
are set to arrive draws nearer. But the following are a few
things hosts should consider in the weeks before their
guests show up.

Accommodations
Its hard to overlook accommodations when hosting for
the holidays, but its best to inspect linens and other items that
might go largely unused throughout much of the year. Check
foldout couches or air mattresses a few weeks before your
guests are slated to arrive. This gives you ample time to address any issues and also allows you to comparison shop and
find great deals on any items you need to replace. Hosts who
are parents to young children may want to discuss sleeping
arrangements before guests arrive if kids will be asked to
sleep in different beds. Kids might embrace the change, while
others might be less enthusiastic. If younger cousins will be
staying over, let kids choose their new roommates, which
might make them more excited about sharing rooms with their
guests. Explaining the situation in advance gives youngsters
time to ready themselves for their temporary move.

Diets
Ask guests before they arrive if they have any particular
food allergies or items they need to avoid because of any medications they might be taking. This is especially important for
youngsters, who may forget to avoid homemade cookies with
nuts despite having nut allergies. By asking in advance if your
guests have any food allergies or foods and ingredients they
must avoid, you will know to avoid serving particular dishes
so no one accidentally eats foods that might make them sick

and you can prepare alternative dishes for people who must
avoid certain foods.

Activities
If guests will be staying for several nights, explore a few
local activities so everyone can get out of the house for a night
or two. Time spent with family is one of the best parts of the
holiday season, but spending all of that time inside in cramped
quarters can grow uncomfortable over time. Plan a family
night or two out that everyone can enjoy.

Pets
When hosting for the holidays, let your guests know if you
have any pets. Some people have dog and cat allergies, and
those allergies may make it difficult for them to enjoy their
stay. Others allergies might be so severe that they have to
find alternative lodging. Let guests know about your pets
when you invite them to stay at your house so no one is surprised at the last minute. In addition, let guests know if they
can bring their own pets along to your house.
Hosting for the holidays is a great way to welcome loved
ones into your home. Considering and discussing a few factors before your guests arrive can ensure everyone enjoys
their stay.

Local Non-Profit Group Connects Families To Prevention And Healing

Fully Insured
Free Estimates

LYConnections, but it still continues with

the same mission for which it was begun.
In its mission and vision statements, the
organization's goals explain that "FAMILYConnections' Mission is to engender hope,
enhance safety, heal trauma, and strengthen
families and communities through innovative counseling, skills-building, training
and prevention. FAMILYConnections envisions a world in which our services are obsolete because all children, adults, and
families are nurtured, educated, and empowered by safe, healthy, and inclusive
communities."
There are many different ways in which
the organization is reaching out to accomplish these goals through their various programs and services. There are seven main
categories of services; Early Childhood Development, School-Based Youth Services,
Domestic Violence Services, At-Risk
Youth, Family Support and Reunification,
Medical Health and Addiction Services,
and Older Adult Services.
There are also two programs that don't
fall under those main categories but which
serve to empower the other branches of

FAMILYConnections tree of services; Cultural Connections, which provides "training

and technical assistance in cultural competence to Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMAS)-contracted
mental health agencies and self-help centers
in northern New Jersey," and ADAPT the
Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Team,

the Essex County Coalition.

All of the programs focus not only on
dealing with current problems, but working
to prevent future problems. The 2013 Annual Report can be found on the organization's website and details the work of all the

AMILYConnections in East Orange
is an overarching organization that
works with 30 plus different groups
which focus on strengthening the family
unit and helping families stay together. The
theme of all of these groups is prevention,
as well as healing.
One of its most impressive aspects is the
organization's focus on outcome based results. Instead of simply providing services
to families, FAMILYConnections is attempting to quantify the effectiveness of its
services and to see how much of a benefit
is provided to consumers and in turn, the
community.
FAMILYConnections can trace its roots
back to 1879, and The Registry Society,
which in 1959 became The Family and
Child Service Agency. In 1969, The Family
and Child Service Agency merged with The
Child Guidance Clinic, which had been established in 1948. Together they became
The Family Service and Child Guidance
Center, with a mission to strengthen and
support families and the family as a unit. In
1997 the organization was renamed FAMI-

All the programs that FAMILYConnections offers are evidence-based, and outcome data is collected and can be viewed
on the website. Focusing on results is an
important part of being able to effect
change in families and the community.
Back in July, FAMILYConnections
hosted its annual Family Fun Picnic in
Monte Irvin Park in Orange. The picnic celebrated families and teens from two FAMILYConnections programs: Outreach to
At-Risk Youth and Strengthening Families
of Essex. More than 70 local children,
teens, and families enjoyed a sunny afternoon in the park which included a BBQ
dinner, games, crafts, and even an ice cream
truck - all courtesy of FAMILYConnections.
Outreach to At-Risk Youth offers teens
group-based counseling to prevent pregnancy, violence, and gang prevention.
Strengthening Families of Essex provides
evidence-based prevention programming
and support for the whole family delivered
at convenient locations like churches and
schools throughout Essex County.

"This annual event celebrates family togetherness," said Jacques Hryshko, FAMILYConnections' executive director. "Those
who come to the picnic spend quality time
together in a beautiful environment. This
helps to build stronger family bonds and
friendships and that is what Outreach to AtRisk Youth and Strengthening Families of
Essex are all about."
The programs receive funding partly
from the government, but also rely on help
from business sponsors, donors and
fundraising activities.
There are fees for participation in some
of the programs, but they are based on income eligibility and a sliding scale.
FAMILYConnections is a non-profit
counseling and family service agency serving the Oranges and surrounding communities with 35+ programs for all ages,
offering counseling, skills-building, training and prevention.

offers to Essex County residents, go to

The Meaning of Helping Thy Neighbor

By Cara Connelly
lthough the United States is regarded as the worlds wealthiest nation, nearly 15 percent of
all American households struggle to put
food on the table. Regionally speaking,
no one is different than anyone else and
that means families in local communities are affected by this national plight.
Food pantries are one way to help
combat the issue of hunger. Pantries
provide nutritious food to residents as
a supplement to their regular food
shopping. Food is donated by community members and organizations that
sponsor food drives to keep food
pantries stocked.
The Hackettstown-Mansfield PBA
#369 is sponsoring a fall food drive to
benefit the Trinity United Methodist
Church food pantry of Hackettstown.
According to Sgt. Darren Tynan,
spokesman for the benefit, The Trinitys Lord Food pantry feeds more than
1,200 families on any given month.
The need increases drastically during

the holidays.
Typically, recipients are allowed to
select what they want using a shopping
guide based on the number of people in
their household. Modern day food
pantries are often described as client
choice where clients select what they
want for themselves. This method allows the freedom of choice and eliminates waste. Some food pantries offer
a supplemental USDA programs to
families that qualify such as WIC,
Medicaid, Food Stamp Program and
Temporary Assistance to needy families.
Everyone needs a little help from
time to time. If in need of nutritional
assistance, the following are some regional food pantry/service opportunities.

According to Grace Murry of the Interfaith food pantry, in addition to offering food
pantry assistance, many locations offer hot
meals that are open to the public available to
anyone in need. Some food pantries offer
satellite locations, are opened only certain
days of the week or may only be available
to town or county residents. She recommends calling ahead and notes that some
food pantries require a face to face interview

services to aid families.
Why not start a new family tradition and
spend some time volunteering at a food
pantry, soup kitchen or start a food pantry
drive? Get kids involved for a hands-on lesson in giving back to the community. Remember, one in six Americans, at some
point, are impacted by hunger. Chances are
someone in every neighborhood, community
or Church will be impacted. The need is year
round, volunteers are always sought and,
every donation counts.

Volunteers Needed

ew Jersey Blood Services, a division of New York Blood Center,

which supplies blood products and
services to 60 hospitals throughout the
state, is in need of volunteers at blood
drives. The blood service volunteer is an integral member of the collection team whose
task it is assist donors with registration, es-

corting and canteen duties, and to watch for

post donation reactions. Volunteers should
have the ability to relate to the public, be
able to perform different jobs as needed and
have the willingness to follow the rules. For

More Strides Made To Raise Awareness And Funds For Rare Disease

By Cheryl Conway
ike the rainbow in the sky that morning, hundreds of
runners and walkers throughout the state stretched
across Central Park of Morris County in Morris Plains
to raise awareness and funds to support research of a rare
disease.
On Sat., Oct. 31, families and supporters of those affected
by Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease (CJD) participated in The
First Annual Strides for CJD 5k Run/Walk. Sponsored by
the CJD Foundation in NY, the event allowed families and
friends to pay tribute to their loved ones and raise awareness
of CJD, a rare neurodegenerative disease that has no treatment or cure.
For the one person in every million worldwide that has
been affected by CJD, strides have been made as effective
outreach whether through support groups, helpline, referrals,
caregiving information, family workshops and medical education to those touched by CJD. The walk allowed victims
loved ones to gather and show their strength through solidarity.
"The outpouring of emotion was overwhelming at the
Strides for CJD event," said Sandy Ghezzi of Morris Township and CJD Advocate and volunteer. "Families came from
near and far with children, aunts, uncles, friends and even
the family pets to celebrate the lives of their loved ones and
show their support toward finding a cure for CJD."
The vibrant rainbow that shined above participants magnified the events purpose.
There was a rainbow at the event! And it didn't even

rain that day, so it was unexpected, says Ghezzi. One of

the attendees I spoke to at the family photo display/message
board area was a man from Morris Plains. Peter lost his
beloved wife to CJD in the past six months. He pointed out
the rainbow to me and said those we lost were with us that
day; the rainbow was proof they were looking down on us,
smiling.
In its debut walk by the CJD Foundation, Strides for CJD
events were also held in 10 cities throughout the United
States such as Atlanta; Chicago; Cleveland; Colorado; Maryland; Minneapolis; Arizona and Southern California. With
less government funding to support research for rare diseases
and the market condition, a greater effort has been executed
to promote awareness and additional funding for research
into CJD. Organizers hope to continue the walk annually.
"We were thrilled to see such a large turnout for the first
ever Strides for CJD event in New Jersey," said Ghezzi.
"What warmed my heart was to see the families and friends
who attended so eager to talk with each other and donate to
the cause. This is a strong community that has bonded
around CJD and is committed to supporting each other and
finding a cure."
According to a press release from the CJD Foundation,
CJD is caused by prions, proteins that can misfold in the
brain, with devastating effects, including rapid mental and
physical deterioration. CJD is the most common of the
prion diseases.
Families affected by prion diseases like CJD can sometimes feel that theyre the only one, said Debbie Yobs, CJD

Sandy Ghezzi with her father, Ed Mjos.

Foundation President. This event allows them to connect

with one another, and raise awareness in their communities
about the devastating impact of CJD and the need for support, education, and research.
Proceeds will support the CJD Foundations General
Fund, which supports advocacy, medical education, family
support and research programs.
CJD advances at a brutally rapid pace, Yobs said.
Often the patient has appeared perfectly healthy just weeks

or months before the diagnosis. But CJD
progresses so aggressively that the family
scrambles to get a diagnosis, while the disease rushes ahead. Thats why its so important for us to educate medical professionals
about the disease and to raise awareness,
provide family support, and spur research.
Ghezzi, who lost her father in 1998 to
CJD, says Theres no treatment; theres no
cure. When you get a diagnosis its 100 percent fatal. Theres nothing they can give you;
theres nothing they can take.
Ghezzis father Ed Mjos of Minneapolis,
MN, died on Aug. 25, 1998 at the age of 73,
only four weeks after being diagnosed with
sporadic CJD.
He started developing symptoms, four
months prior, explains Ghezzi. His walking
was not steady, his legs would shake and he
ended up going blind in the end. Because
CJD is in the brain, body functions get affected. Her father died of malnutrition as he
was unable to swallow.
It happened quickly, says Ghezzi. It
was a rapid deterioration of bodily functions. It was frightening for us. He was very
active; he was a speed walker as a member
of the Twin City race Walkers Club where

Roofing

he lived. Bridge player, joke teller, active

Lions Club member, all around good guy,
and all of a sudden his eyes got big, he
was losing balance, starting using a cane,
then he started walking into walls, using
a walker then a wheelchair. Rapid dementia
as well as short term memory set in.
Ghezzi recalls making appointments with
doctors, but they would say he was older;
hes getting dementia or Alzheimers.
Ghezzi did not give up and instead brought
him to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
They did 63 tests in one day, recalls
Ghezzi. At that time the Mayo Clinic doctors
had seen only 25 previous cases. It was only
until they received her fathers brain tissue
from his autopsy that doctors were able to
diagnose with absolute certainty that Mjos
had sporadic CJD.
Diagnosis of CJD starts with clinical observation and process of elimination of other
diseases, according to information provided
by the CJD Foundation. First, more likely
and treatable diseases are ruled out. When
CJD is suspected, the next step is for a qualified professional experienced with CJD to
read an MRI and check cerebral spinal fluid
for protein indicators, to confirm the preliminary diagnosis. Post mortem, a brain au-

topsy is the only way to positively confirm

the CJD diagnosis.
Ghezzi says, Its frightening; its hard to
know where to go when a loved one becomes suddenly affected. There are resources out there. If theres something that
doesnt seem right, seek medical professionals; try a different source.
To help provide support to other families
affected by CJD and spread information and
awareness, Ghezzi has become a patient advocate.
Actively volunteering 17 years after her
fathers death, Ghezzi says she began going
to the annual conferences in 2008, when she
first learned about them.
I was humbled at the beginning by the
lack of progress in finding a cure, explains
Ghezzi. It seemed totally hopeless at the
time to me. But as the years went by, at the
annual conferences, through the presentations by scientists from around the world,
there was a glimmer of light, more and more
understanding about the disease. There was
finally hope. Each year there was new information, progress. I am cautiously hopeful
that one day we will crack the code. And I
feel inspired to help in any way I can, as part
of the CJD team. Because no one deserves

is no treatment whatsoever, and nothing that
can be done. There is a solution, and we will
be relentless -- together we will find it.
As far as progress, there is still no cure or
treatment, but research is underway worldwide to learn more about the disease mechanisms and to evaluate potential diagnostics
and treatments. Research developments
have been made on a number of fronts. The
CJD Foundation sponsors a research program that attracts researchers worldwide.
The CJD Foundation, which was established in Miami in 1993, provides support
for families affected by prion disease. Moving its headquarters to NY in 2013, the nonprofit foundation provides a seven-day

Learn How To Make Latkes

With Fresh Ingredients

The presenter, who holds degrees in

chemistry and law, spent many years working as an intellectual property attorney in
areas as diverse as agricultural chemicals,
food technology, pharmaceuticals and genetically modified organisms. Her background has convinced her that many
common chemicals are best avoided. She
has also spent the past year as a Greenfaith
Fellow, learning how to bring this message
to her faith community. "We each only have
one body and one planet. Let's work to keep
them as healthy as possible," she says.
The National Council of Jewish Women
(NCJW) is a grassroots organization of volunteers and advocates who turn progressive
ideals into action. Inspired by Jewish values, NCJW strives for social justice by improving the quality of life for women,
children, and families and by safeguarding
individual rights and freedoms. For further
information about NCJW, West Morris Section, visit www.ncjwwestmorris.org.
To sign up for the "Seasonal Latkes"
program, RSVP to stellahart@optimum.net.

eth Fields of Livingston, a member

of National Council of Jewish
Women (NCJW), West Morris Section, will present a special latke-making
program using "real food" on Sun., Nov. 29,
at 11 a.m. at a private home in Dover.
Called "Seasonal Latkes," the program is
free and open to all members and prospective members. Among the ingredients
Fields will be usingdepending on what's
available at her local farmer's marketare
carrots, sweet potatoes, zucchini, beets, and
even apples. Participants will all have a
chance to sample the seasonal latkes, which
are traditional for Hanukka.
Fields loves to cook. And she loves to
eat. But she loves to cook and eat real food,
as distinguished from so-called "edible
food-like" substances. So she seeks out the
produce and products of local purveyors at
local farmer's markets and local farms. Because she is concerned about the sustainability and health of bodies and the planet,
