Storage Place And Low Interest Mortgage Needed To Save Shelter
By Cheryl Conway
rateful for some monetary and furniture donations in
her last call for help, the founder of a battered
womens shelter organization continues her search
for a hero to hold the mortgage.
Sandra Ramos of Ringwood, a pioneer advocate for battered women who has sheltered and strengthened women and
children for more than four decades is reaching out to others
to help save the shelter at risk for foreclosure.
The founder and director of Strengthen Our Sisters (SOS)
is looking for someone to hold the mortgage at a lower interest rate so she can continue to provide housing for 155
women and children in shelters located in New Foundland,
Wanaque and West Milford. SOS is a grassroots, community
based non-profit, program serving homeless/battered women
and children since 1977.
They are working with us, says Ramos about Rialto
Capital Management Advisors in Florida which currently
holds the mortgage bridge loan. She says she has six more
months to raise $15,000 to avoid a foreclosure.
Established in 1977 as Shelter Our Sisters - the first shelter
for battered women in North America- the organization
changed its name to Strengthen Our Sisters and has since
grown to eight houses, two day care centers, a food pantry
and a thrift store. The properties value a total of $2.5 million,
with $580,000 left to be paid.
A woman from Chatham recently donated $2,500; others
gave holiday baskets and furniture.

Lots of people donated food and Easter baskets but if they
dont have a place to live where are they going to keep their
Easter baskets? she asks. The same holds true with the furniture donations.
About 20 people recently have called offering to donate
furniture. Although grateful for all of the donations, Ramos
says the next hurdle is trying to find or afford a storage place
to hold the furniture.
People called to donate furniture, says Ramos. We
dont have room to store the furniture. We need a storage
place. People donating beautiful furniture.
Ramos says the furniture will come in handy for women
when they are able to move into an apartment or a place of
their own to live.
Through her shelter program, Ramos says thousands
have been saved during the past 46 years. Many of the
women and children her organization helps dont have families, are on section eight, have families or friends who
dont like them; who dont want to help them. We have a lot
of dysfunctional families.
We are the only shelter who will take people, says
Ramos. No one else takes these people from social services.
With two hotline numbers, Ramos has made herself available to help others- women who could have been forced to
live on the streets facing prostitution, living in cars, some having epilepsy or breathing disorders, she describes.

Ramos started her first shelter in 1970 in her three bedroom home in Hackensack. She had three small children at
the time, was facing divorce after ten years of marriage and
was in need of a roommate, she explains. One roommate
turned into 23 women in her house at one point, she admits.
Over the years, in 1977, her initiative became Shelter Our
Sisters. The mission of SOS is to break the cycle of domestic
violence, poverty and abuse by restoring balance and harmony through individual empowerment.
To support her organization, Ramos receives some money
from the Passaic County Dept. of Human Services, private
donations, counties and social services, but not enough to
keep it going. We have a transportation grant but they took it
away. We have five vans; we need help. Weve been running
for three and a half years with a non-paid staff, down from
a paid staff of 55 that were let go when SOS lost funding, she
says.
Ramos currently has 17 non-paid volunteers who drive the
shelter residents to look for jobs, to court, doctor appointments, social services, schools; they fix things, watch children.
SOS recently held a tricky tray and dinner fundraiser and
in May plans to host a 3K run/walk and later that month, a
Mothers Day fundraising event. For more details about these
events and SOS, go to http://www.strengthenoursisters.org/.
To make a donation or to help, email scb@optonline.net
or call Ramos at 973-831-0898 or 973-831-6156.

A Celebration For Asparagus Lovers Is Coming To Black Forest Inn
sparagus is a sure sign of spring and

people of German descent are wild
about asparagus. They call asparagus the joy of spring in much the way
some celebrate fall with apples. Keeping the
German tradition, the Black Forest Inn in
Stanhope is holding its first Sparglefest on
Sat., April 23, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Spargle
is the German word for asparagus.
On this night, Chef Heiner Aichem will
devote a menu to asparagus with a variety of

creative offerings.
We'll serve fresh asparagus in as many
delicious ways as we can think of, adds
Aichem. He notes that their interest in Sparglefest comes through a direct tie with his
family in Germany where Aichems father,
Heinz, was born and worked before establishing the Black Forest Inn in 1978. To this
day, the elder Aichem oversees and works in
Shrine To Host Renown Speaker

Asparagus is so popular in Germany during spring that festivals were created many
years ago called Sparglefest. Celebrations
happen in all states of Germany but even
more so in the areas where the asparagus
farms are located.
As an added feature to Sparglefest at the
Black Forest Inn, there will be live music
with Don Bitterlicht, a local German music

entertainer who used to be an NFL player for
the Seattle Seahawks. Bitterlicht kicked the
first field goal in the expansion Seahawks
history, also the first points ever scored by a
Seahawks player.
Reservations can be made at www.BlackForestInn.com or by calling 973-347-3344.
The Black Forest Inn is located in Stanhope.

Life Long Warren County Man Sets His Path Toward Next Sheriff
By Cheryl Conway
ith roots to Warren County that date back to the
late 1800s when his grandfather from Hungary
started his farm just two miles away, Charlie
Makatura of Belvidere is seizing the opportunity to keeping
the county safe by running for its next sheriff.
Born and raised in White Twp., Makatura has lived in five
of the 22 townships within the countys border where he has
attended school through college; raised a family with his
childhood sweetheart, Beth, married 39 years with their three
children and seven grandchildren who reside in Warren
County; worked professionally for 13 years at one of the
countys largest employers; and serves as a council person
for the Belvidere Town Council since 2013.
Wearing that sheriffs badge for a county he refers to as
New Jerseys last frontier, would be the ideal way for
Makatura, 60, to continue his career in law enforcement and
utilize all of his skills, experience and knowledge of the area
to be an even safer place for all those who live there.
My legacy is Warren County, not only for my children
but my grandchildren, says Makatura. I have a strong interest to keep it secure and safe. I think I have a lot to offer
the residents. It would be a great legacy for my family.
On Jan. 5, Makatura, a retired lieutenant with the New Jersey State Police, formally announced his plan to run as a republican for sheriff, as soon as he found out that two-term
Sheriff David Gallant would not seek another term. He faces
two other republican candidates, James McDonald of Hack-
ettstown, who recently retired as Washington Township police

chief; and Jim Simonetti of Frelinghuysen Township, who recently retired as Roxbury Township police chief.
Makaturas desire to run for sheriff had been around for
few years, he admits, but he did not want to run against his
colleague who he had worked with as a state trooper.
As soon as I found out he was going to retire, I went to
pick up my petition, to run for sheriff, he says.
The motto for his campaign is to keep Warren County
safe for your family and my family for future families to
come, says Makatura. He held a fundraising event Feb. 23
at Luigis Rancho in White Township with about 123 supporters.
The qualities that make a good sheriff, according to
Makatura, include communication skills, loyal, honesty and
integrity. As you look through my past I feel I exhibit all
those qualities, says Makatura, loyal to my family, dedicated to my job.
Makatura, who helped lead the information technology
bureau in Trenton, mentions that his IT skills will come into
play as he will be able to use the latest methods in technology
without putting any expenditures on our taxpayers.
Organized with his plans, Makatura has several goals if
elected to serve as the next Warren County sheriff.
His first goal is to start a consortium with nearby towns,
counties and police departments. With Warren County having
the smallest sheriffs department in the state in regards to its
personnel and budget, its 10 police departments and 22 mu-
nicipalities could greatly benefit from shared services.

What services do you have; what can they contribute;
what is that one piece we dont have? he mentions. One may
have a drone, another a sniffing dog.
If everyone shares those resources, we dont have to buy
everything, he says. The case is to share the services and
share expenses. We need to rely on everybody. Consortium

idea is a great way to save money.
Another idea of Makatura is to use a county-wide records
management system. In Warren County he says there are
three different systems used throughout the police departments.
We need one centralized system, he says. This will allow
everyone in law enforcement, whether local police, sheriffs
department and prosecutors office, have access to data to
make sure we are communicating with each other.
Makatura would also encourage the use of more social
media, not only alerts but posts on Facebook and Twitter, to
help identify fugitives, runaways or people in hiding. The
sheriffs department should have a page on its website with
faces of people being sought.
Theres no expense to the taxpayers and the awards are
tremendous, says Makatura about expanding social media
usage.
Spreading more awareness and marketing of Project Lifesaver is another goal of Makatura. Project Lifesaver is a national GPS Tracking System that helps locate in less than 30
minutes persons with cognitive issues such as Alzheimers,
dementia, autism or Down syndrome.
Its taking advantage of todays resources, as opposed
to police officers driving up and down streets looking for
missing persons. Virtually everyone I talk to doesnt know
that this exists, says Makatura, adding that the Warren
County Sheriffs Department is engaged in the system. For
$15 a month, and available grant money, families can help

save a loved one through Project Lifesaver. Interested participants can visit the sheriffs webpage for an application.
Lastly, Makatura says he would like the sheriffs department to do a better job in securing grant money for equipment
and programs.
We need to partner with other county agencies, he says.
With 24 staffing members in the sheriff department, I dont
think you can do it all, but if you partner with other agencies?
We are not Bergen County; we dont have 400, 500, 600
members but it doesnt mean we cant protect our citizens as
long as we have the services.
If elected, Makatura would also want to fill in appointed
positions, not only by state police, but municipal police as
well.
Gallant brought in nothing but state police but theres
some great men and women who are municipal officers, he
says. We need to have representatives of our demographics,
he says, which would bring in a lot of knowledge.
Makaturas desire to get involved in law enforcement
stems from his childhood years.
The first in his family to get into the field, Makatura says
I always had aspirations to be a state trooper, although he
didnt start there.
A graduate of Belvidere High School, Makatura attended
Centenary College in Hackettstown earning a bachelors in
business administration and management.
Makatura worked 13 years for M&M Mars in Hack-
ettstown, with the last ten years developing skills in Information Technology. In 1988 he left to follow his desired career
path in Law Enforcement and joined the New Jersey State
Police. He has also served in the United States Air Force and
NJ Air National Guard earning an honorable discharge.
After graduation from the State Police Academy,
Makatura served the citizens of Warren County for 10 years
as a road trooper at Washington, Hope and Sussex stations.
During that time he gravitated towards the field of conducting
criminal investigations.
In 1998, he reported to the NJ Police Division headquarters in West Trenton, where he stayed for 12 years, rose to the
rank of lieutenant, and held the position of assistant bureau
chief within the Information Technology Bureau.
At the age of 55, Makatura was required to retire from the
NJ State Police in Feb. 2011, but he still kept busy. He ran
for Belvidere Town Council in 2013 and serves as court liaison and police commissioner. He also works as a freelance
private investigator for attorneys on a national and international level, and serves as armed personnel for Division of
Youth Family Services.
Spending time with his grandchildren, ages one to eight,
has been his greatest blessing.
We are on cloud nine, says Makatura. It doesnt get any
better than this. We see them every day, adding that his three
kids stayed in Warren County to raise their families, and two
of his son-in-laws are police troopers. Weve been extremely
blessed.
Skyland Songwriters Guild Receives Nonprofit Status
By Miguel Diaz
he Skylands Songwriters Guild
(SSG), based out of Ledgewood, is
celebrating its newfound status as a
nonprofit organization. This recently
achieved status, dating back to the end of
January, will allow them to accept donations and sponsorships to fund upcoming
events.
SSG started approximately six years ago
by the organizations founders Renee and
Clark Paddock, who are both musicians.
The Paddocks wanted the organization to
focus on the education aspect of songwriting and performing original pieces.
Prior to becoming a nonprofit organization, the Paddocks spread the word of the

idea of SSG around through

Facebook and other social
media outlets. Word of
mouth was also used which
turned out to be a great tool
to use to get them discovered by their community.
The Paddocks write
Indie and acoustic songs,
but are willing to open up to
other genres of music.
However, the idea has yet to
be introduced.
SSG holds workshops in
order to boost the confidence of members through
critique and the exchange of
different techniques and
songwriting styles.
This is to try to help
people hone their skills,
Public Relations Coordinator Dorie Whittenburg said.
Once we provide the critique session, it would be
much more informal ses-

guest speaker, we would
have them provide feedback.

industry as well, but currently the SSG is
not large enough to provide members with
the opportunity to get discovered.
The SSG does have events and venues
that members can perform their original

its largest event, primarily held in Vasa Park
in Mt. Olive. The event has performances
by local and regional songwriters.
Other events to be expected from SSG

havent been finalized yet.

Run For God Program Gets Family On Track
By Anastasia Marchese
n 2013, Dave Hickey presented his church family at Grace
Church on the Mount in Netcong with a new ministry,
Run for God. This twelve week walk/run program follows the book Devotions: Finding God in a Runners Space
by Mitchell Hollis. Run for God is a national ministry
which shows the parallels between principles of the Bible and
a running in a physical race.
When Hickey made his presentation, Steve and Aggie
Beede were on stage at the church, leading worship with the
praise team. We looked at each other and without saying
anything we knew we needed to do it, said Aggie. We were
overweight and out of shape. We started from zero, no experience whatsoever. We were feeling guilty, but not doing anything about it.
Steve and Aggie joined the first Run for God class that
Grace Church organized.
It teaches you how to eat healthy, what kind of shoes you
should wear, and how to avoid injury, says Aggie. You learn
how to stretch, all the basics to be a good runner/walker. It
doesnt only address physical health though, but focuses on
the connections between the physical race that the participants
are preparing for and the spiritual race of life- let us lay aside
every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and
let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking
unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, from Hebrews
12:1-2pp.
We learn to love God and understand his ways, says

Aggie. We have a half an hour of bible study. After the bible
study the class goes on to learn something health related, followed by a walk/run. The goal of the first twelve weeks is to
complete the Roxbury 5K Run. It is the graduation race. The
program goes slow, so by then you are ready, Aggie says.
Completing their first 5K wasnt the end for the Beedes,
but just the beginning of their journey towards continued
health and fitness. In the three years since, Steve has already
run two marathons and I have run three half marathons, and
this year I am ready to run the New York Marathon. Aggie
is excited to share the life changing effects this program has
had in her family. When asked what kept her and her husband
moving forward as runners after they accomplished their first
goal, Aggie was enthusiastic, You see changes in your body
and your bad habits. You accomplished a goal. You think,
Whats next? Lets keep going!
Aggie is clear that she doesnt attribute these life changes
to herself alone, When it is hard, we focus our eyes on God.
We say God carry me on.
Another part of the Beedes continued commitment to running and healthy living, has to do with the great friendships
that are cultivated through the Run for God program.
We make a lot of friends and continue to run together
and encourage one another, she says. When you go long
distance and you are going slowly you get to talk. We make
good friends. We make great, great friends.
The current twelve week session of Run for God has already begun, but if interested in the program contact Dave
Hickey at Church on the Mount at hoofcarepro@gmail.com
and check out the churchs website www.grace4families.com
and the Run for God website at www.runforgod.com.
Thomas Edison His Hallmark Of Personal Success A Super Garage
By Michele Guttenberger
he hallmark of every successful businessman is to own a family mansion
and to have a state of the art garage.
Thomas Edison had both.
His Glenmont estate home in West Orange that he purchased in 1886 was the decorating and design concept of the former
owner Henry C Pedder. However, Edisons
garage was his own innovative design and
creation that he built in 1908. Edison oversaw
the construction himself because it was an
entirely new creation in building construction.
Building his private garage helped him to
launch his new business venture a patented
technique of constructing mass-produced,
poured-cement houses using iron molds. His
garage and the original Yankee stadium became the same cement poured by his own
Edison Portland Cement company.
Since Thomas Edison was in the vehicle
battery business, he owned electric cars. And
in 1908 his garage included battery charging
stations for them. Edison invented the alkaline storage battery in 1901 and spent years
perfecting it for use in automobiles. Edison

also had a gasoline filling pump in his garage
for his 1922 Model T Ford a gift from his
good friend Henry Ford.
The awesome custom feature of Edisons
Garage is the car turntable to help park his
vehicles. A hand crank rotated the resting car
to a desired parking position. The driver
never had to struggle backing the car into a
spot, the turntable did the navigating.
The garage helped turn Edison into an involved family man too. The garage gave him
the liberty to tinker with his sons Theodore
and Charles on home built motorized projects. At the age of 10, Charles Edison, future
governor of NJ, built with his dad a workable
vehicle from a two cycle marine engine and
a drive belt.
Today the garage houses a 1911 Detroit
Electric, a 1914 Detroit Electric, a 1922 Ford
Model T, a 1908 Locomobile and a 1936
Brewster. The garage is available for public
viewing by reservation.
The Glenmont Estate is also part of the
National Historic Park in West Orange accessible by visiting the factory Lab visitor center
for the schedule and reservation car and ticket

passes. It is located inside the private residential Llewellyn Park community. Visit website
for more info https://www.nps.gov/edis/
planyourvisit/basicinfo.htm.
Those who are fascinated by this legendary man and his garage can participate in
a fundraiser hosted by the Friends of Thomas

Edison National Historic Park Your
Spring Tune Up Cocktail Party which is set
for Thurs., May 19, at the garage. For further

Handbags For Charity Carry Mission To Help Children And End Violence
By Cheryl Conway
andbags from Lucys Gift in Morristown carry much more weight than
a wallet, checkbook, lipstick and
other miscellaneous items.
With every purchase, customers carry on
their shoulders an effort to help children with
special needs and end violence. The pain of
losing her husband five years ago lingers for
owner Marisa Spagnoletti of Morristown,
but six months ago she found a way to channel her loss by opening a non-profit boutique
to raise money for various charities such at
the P.G. Chambers School in Cedar Knolls.
Spagnoletti opened Lucys Gift boutique
in Morristown in Oct. 2015 and donates 100
percent of the proceeds to honor her late husband Maurice Spagnoletti, a prominent New
Jersey banker tragically killed in June 2011,
while working in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
As the founder of Lucys Gift, as well as
the Maurice J. Spagnoletti Foundation
(MJSF), the former Florham Park widow has
made it her mission to help children in need,
victims of crime and honor those who serve
and protect others.
Named after their 10-year old daughter,

Lucy, Spagnoletti says Lucys Gift is our
gift back to the world. Its just what I wanted
to do. It has grown beyond my dreams. I
dont have a website or a Facebook page. I
have emails from people all over the country, and plans to open a second boutique in
a major retail strip mall.
With a background in sales marketingbrand management, Spagnoletti had worked
as a marketing director for Crowe Horwath
accounting firm in New York for 13 years,
but when her husband was killed, her world
changed.
Her business started haphazardly because of her husbands death. It began from
helping a small charity and blossomed into
a non-profit business.
Maurice had been good friends with their
daughters doctor, John Connor. It was
through that friendship that Maurice came to
support the Children of China Pediatric
Foundation (CCPF), a charity Dr. Connor
supports by performing free surgeries for orphans.
When my husband was murdered my
daughter was very sick, explains Spagnoletti. The day after he was buried, we met
Dr. Connor in Morristown to take care of
Lucy who has been faced with health issues.
Upon our return to NJ, Dr. Connor was
there and will always be there for us, Spagnoletti says. I told Dr. Connor I would keep
my husbands promise as he labeled the
doctor their hero.

Instead of taking money for Lucy from
those who sent donations after her tragic
loss, Spagnoletti directed donations be sent
to the CCPF in her husbands memory.
As donations increased, CCPF opened a
rehabilitation training program for chronicontinued on next page
Handbags For Charity...
cally disabled and post-surgical orphans in his honor the

Maurice Journey of love support and hope J. Spagnoletti Rehabilitation Program. After three years, when she got back
on her feet, Spagnoletti supported these efforts by holding
small handbag auctions.
In 2012, I started doing handbag events; women in large
numbers started buying handbags, she says. By 2014, this
grew to a sold out crowd. This led to an annual event in June,
raising tens of thousands of dollars for charity.
After setting enough money aside, Spagnoletti decided to
open Lucys Gift to sell handbags on a regular basis for charity.
My idea for selling handbags for charity has exploded,
says Spagnoletti. I put the seed money in for the boutique,
in hopes to get money back to cover her salary and health
insurance. After that, all proceeds will go toward helping others.
I dont have wealth, explains Spagnoletti. I created a
business where all the net profits will go to the foundation,
which go to our charities.
Inside her boutique, Spagnoletti decorated using pink,
blue and purple hues. She explains the pink represents children in need; blue for the victims of crime; and purple for
the purple heart.
Through her foundation, MJSF has expanded its charity
Fully Insured
Free Estimates
to children with special needs at P.G. Chambers School in

Cedar Knolls to support children in need; is helping victims
of crime by supporting domestic violence and sexual assault
safe houses such as SAFE in Hunterdon; and aid charities
that support the Federal Bureau of Investigation, whose
agents and families inspire Marisa with their heroic efforts to protect us domestically, as explained in the MJSF
mission statement.
When you buy something, you want to know where your
money is going, she explains.
Spagnoletti selected P.G. Chambers as a charity recipient
after meeting one of the mothers who sends both of her kids
who are in wheelchairs to the school, which provides the
most comprehensive education and therapy programs for
children with disabilities.
We met by chance, says Spagnoletti about Annabella
Rossi, the mother of the two students at P.G. Chambers. At
that moment she was having a bad day; I was having a bad
day.
Out of the 35 volunteers at MJSF, Rossi became her
eighth volunteer.
She started coming to my house; we became friends.
Spagnoletti honored Rossi in 2013 when she presented her
with the Maurice Spagnoletti Foundation Caregiver Award.
Annabella is a role model to me.
Every year, Spagnoletti presents the caregiver award to
an individual, a teacher, mother or nurse. In June 2015, she

gave the award to a woman named Tiffany who created a
park for disabled children near the Jets Training Facility.
Tiffanys daughter also attends the P.G. Chambers School.
Lucys Gift specializes in mostly handbags, and jewelry.
Featured are 200 handbags on display varying in color, price
and function, from popular name brands like Gucci, authentic lines, fake leather to unheard labels. Prices of bags range
from $50 to $2,000.
Handbags are my life, she says. The sky is the limit
for us; we even carry mens wallets, and bags for men.
Within two months, we were able to triple our inventory.
Customers can also find unique costume jewelry pieces
and accesories, ranging from $18 to $350, as well as distinct
unique items such as a wine tote, her number one seller
found in a Texas boutique.
I travel the country and find really neat boutiques, she
says, bringing back those rare items, such as a little mirror
that attaches to an iphone, to resell.
When you come to my boutique, everything is sacred,
says Spagnoletti. Our dream is to bring luxury to all women.
I grew up lower income; I didnt have money to spend. I always dreamed Id be able to provide fashion to everyone.
Instead of a bow or ribbon, every bag or purchase is
adorned with a barrette.

Handbags For Charity...
To her surprise, Spagnolettis mission is taking off. Concert-singer Naomi Miller, who was singing in Italian on the
streets in Morristown, attended her grand opening; Spagnoletti has been getting emails of support from around the
country; and she recently appeared on the NBC Today Show
with Al Roker.
After five years, Im finding peace. My husband was
brutally assassinated. Honoring him was my life mission.
The FBI is still investigating the case, she adds.
A prominent banker for Doral Financial, Maurice was
shot and killed at the age of 57 by unknown assailants, June
15, 2011, while sitting in his car in traffic on the highway.
Employed with the company for just one year, he had been
assigned to work in Puerto Rico in Jan. 2011, says Spagnoletti.
Justice is coming I believe that. The people who killed
my husband will be brought to justice. We seek justice for
all. Hope is something we have and something we have to
work for. Hope with positive action prevails. The men and
women Ive come to know are beyond extraordinary; they
are the real heroes.
Part of Spagnolettis mission is to put an end to violence.
My husband was everything to me, says Spagnoletti.
You dont heal from violence. It is prevention, awareness
and treatment that will lead to end violence. In my very small

way Im going to make an impact. Its my mission to end violence and I will. I want my husbands memory honored.
Nothing brings my husband back; my daughter needed her
father.
She says, My husband died a hero. To honor him, MJSF
plans to award a $1,500 Future Hero scholarship to a junior
college student in need from Morris County who aspires a
career in preventing or stopping violence. Eric Mohberg,
whose fianc was brutally murdered 26 years ago, joined her
MJSF board and is helping her create the scholarship.
At last years annual Handbag Auction held in June at the
Hanover Manor in East Hanover, $30,000 was raised for the
charities. Participants paid $75 for all you can eat, dancing,
raffles, silent auction of handbags and other items, and presentations by charity organizations.
Through her mission, Spagnoletti has rechanneled her
anger to provide a healthy environment for her daughter. She
explains, I can only focus on positive so she can grow up
and be positive.
Its amazing what could be done for the memory of one
hero. Through all of this Im really finding peace. I was so
low and so sad, but now Im back. If Im working 24 hours
a day, its not work, its what I love to do. I know I never let
him down. I feel my husband smiling when I can do things
like this. I do my little part in helping them; every year I feel

like Im doing more.

On her boutique wall hangs a framed poem titled Life
Does Not Frighten Me At All. A girl that Spagnoletti met
one year ago at P.G. Chambers School read her that poem.
Honestly they teach me more, she says. Since then, Spagnoletti has adopted a class there and I go and visit her. Nothing frightens this little girl who has all these issues. I would
sell my life for her.
Spagnoletti has come up with a program in which companies pay people to volunteer.
Corporations can give not to the foundation, but to the
P.G. Chambers School. For that donation, we will train that
staff. Lets get people to commit to volunteer work.
As a way to market and add new revenue source for her
boutique, Spagnoletti recently started Lucys Gift Treasure
Chest, in which she provides non-profits, fair priced tricky
tray or auction items. Her idea came about after she gave a
handbag to a church who asked her for a tricky tray donation.
Lucys Gift is open Tues. and Wed., 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.;
Thurs., Fri. and Sat., 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; and Sun. 11 a.m.
to 4 p.m.

Free Three-Part Series Offered On Jewish Mysticism
hat is mysticism? What is Jewish

mysticism? How is mysticism
different from scientific ways of
looking at things? How is it similar to the
scientific approach to understanding the
world?
In an intriguing three-part series, titled
Jewish Mysticism & Its Surprising Impact on our Beliefs, Behaviors, and Our
Prayer Book, Rabbi Mark Biller, spiritual
leader of Congregation Beth Ahm in
Verona, will delve into these topics and
how Jewish mysticism and Kabbalah show
up in in our lives in ways we have never
realized. The series is free and open to the

public.
The series will be held on Mon., May 9,
at noon; Tues., May 17, at 1 p.m.; and Wed.,
May 25 at 2 p.m. at the Morris County Library in Whippany. The series is under the
auspices of National Council of Jewish
Women (NCJW), West Morris Sections Our
Jewish World, coordinated by Ellen Nesson
and Melanie Levitan, both of Morristown.
The rabbi will examine specific Kabbalistic texts and address how Jewish principles
apply to them.
We will talk about how revolutionary
Kabbalah in the Middle Ages was in the eyes
of rabbinic Judaism, and where it differed
from traditional approaches, he points out.
We will go through portions of Kabbalistic
texts, relating them back to the Torah and

showing how they are connected and how
they seem to vary from the Torah. In addition, he notes, We will reveal how Kabbalistic influences created parts of the prayer
book that we read weekly. Most readers are
unaware of the Kabbalistic influence, origin
or intent of these now familiar prayers.
This engaging series will present a new
view of Jewish sources and give people lots
to think about.
A master storyteller, Biller brings a fresh,
bright outlook to Judaism's traditional texts
and specializes in counseling Jews of all ritual levels looking to find meaning in both
modern life and rich Jewish traditions.
Preregistration is required. To preregister,

United Way Fundraising Breakfast

Features Philanthropic Power Of Women
rea women business and community leaders can network and hear
New York Times bestselling author
Laura Schroff talk about the philanthropic
power of women at a United Way of Northern New Jersey fundraiser on Thurs., April
28, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. at the
Hanover Marriott.
The United Way Womens Leadership
Council is holding this premier networking
breakfast for influential women in northern
NJ to support scholarship opportunities for
local individuals and families who are
ALICE -Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed- living paycheck to
paycheck and struggling to afford the basics.
This is a singular opportunity to meet
like-minded women who care about using

their influence to change lives and communities for the better, said council associate
director Michele Dreiblatt.
Schroff, author of An Invisible
Thread, was chosen as the keynote
speaker, Dreiblatt said, as an example of the
positive impact women can have in their
communities. The book, which stayed on
the New York Times Best Seller List for 39
weeks, tells the true story of how Schroff
helped change the course of a young boys
life. Schroff, who will sign copies of her
book at the breakfast, has won numerous
awards and shared her inspiring story
alongside Archbishop Desmond Tutu, former First Lady Laura Bush and bestselling
United Way...

author Malcolm Gladwell.
Laura Schroff is a model for how
women can be a philanthropic force in our
state, Dreiblatt said. When we join together we have the potential to improve life
not only for our most vulnerable families,
but for all of us.
Attendees will also learn about the
Council, a 130-member strong United Way
philanthropic womens group. Throughout
the year, members are engaged in volunteer,
fundraising and advocacy efforts to help the
regions ALICE population attain financial
stability.
Across the northern New Jersey region,
spanning Morris, Somerset, Suburban
Essex, Sussex and Warren counties, a total
of 27 percent of households qualify as

ALICE or in poverty, according to United
Way research.
Proceeds from the breakfast will go toward three United Way scholarship programs that seek to remove the barriers that
keep ALICE and those in poverty from
achieving their potential. Through these
scholarships, child care educators can access professional development opportunities, families can afford quality child care,
and adults can pursue post-secondary education.
Tickets for the event are $70. For more
information about the event or the Council,
visit www.UnitedWayNNJ.org/WLCBreakfast2016, email Michele.Dreiblatt@UnitedWayNNJ.org or call 973-993-1160, x128.
