Saving the World One Shopping Cart at a Time - October is FairTrade Month

Fair Trade Certified A Fair Trade Certified label on a product ensures consumers that a fair price was paid for
the product, fair wages were paid to the workers producing the item, monies were invested
in the communities in which the product was produced for vital projects such as schools
and health clinics, and that the goods were produced in a sustainable manner thereby
protecting both the workers and the environment.


When you buy Blackwell's Organic gelato and sorbetto you know you are purchasing a
dessert with Fair Trade ingredients in every flavor. Visit
transfairusa.org to learn more.



Friends of Monmouth County Parks
Tom and I both share a love for the outdoors an incredible appreciation for open space and a deep commitment to land preservation. To support our beliefs Marcia recently accepted an appointment to the Board of the Friends of the Parks , the fundraising arm of the Monmouth County Park System.

The Monmouth County Parks holds a special place in our hearts because Tom and I met while serving as co-trip leaders for a rock climbing program there over 10 years ago.

Our advice take a break and “Take a Hike!” in one of your local parks, you never know who you might meet.
