Although the last year has been a challenging one, we are ready to provide you and your children with the much-needed summer break that you both deserve! Our new registration system offers a more streamlined parent portal and user experience that should make your registration process quick and easy. Our Clinton Twp. Summer Camp program is located at Spruce Run School, from June 21 through August 13. Various registration options include Extended Day 7:00 am-6:00 pm, Full Day 9:00 am-4:00 pm, and AM/PM Half Day sessions from 7:00 am-1:00 pm or 12:00 pm-6:00 pm. Our weekly themes inspire an array of daily enrichment activities including STEM, Art, Sports, Cooking, Nature Exploration, Water Activities, and more! Summer Camp is staffed by the same familiar faces from the school year, with low staff/child ratios and separated cohorts for maximum supervision and safety. Register today at www.WorkFamily.org to provide your children with an enriching and FUN summer with friends! H u n t e R d o n C o u n t y Q u i l t i n G G u i l d C o m m u n i t y s e R V i C e The Hunterdon County Quilting Guild, a 501(c)3 a non profit organization with a focus on community service projects, celebrated its 40th Anniversary in 2018 and continues that focus today. Our purpose is the preservation and promotion of the Quilting Arts by educating members through lectures, demonstrations, workshops and other appropriate means, stimulating a renewed interest in quilting, encouraging original design, and bringing these benefits to the general public in the form of exhibits and demonstrations. Over the years, hundreds of pillowcases have been donated to local children's hospitals and cancer centers. Other projects have included making quilts for Project Linus, placemats for Meals on Wheels, bibs/vest, wheelchair bags and walker pockets for the veterans at Lyons Hospital. The guild has also distributed hundreds of quilts to various care centers and nursing homes as well as to combat veterans through the Quilts of Valor Foundation. Additionally, the first baby born of each new year are given quilts at RWJ Somerset Medical Center and the Hunterdon Medical Center. This dynamic group has served the community by making well over two thousand donations of masks and nurses caps to the Hunterdon Medical Center and Meals on Wheels during the pandemic as well as first responders. In non-Covid times, we meet at Readington Reformed Church at 124 Readington Road in Whitehouse Station. Meetings are held on the third Friday of the month, except for December and June, at 9:30 am. There are no meetings in July and August. Until COVID-19 issues are resolved, our Guild meetings will be virtual for members only. We eagerly look forward to getting back to normal when we can again meet in person and open our doors to guests. We would love to welcome new members at our zoom meetings, workshops, and lectures.

We believe our community has a responsibility to address the food needs of those who cannot afford to feed themselves and their families. Although less visible than in urban areas, the need in our County is significant. Staffed entirely by volunteers, Open Cupboard Food Pantry in Clinton is funded by donations of food and money, and by proceeds of our in-house Thrift Shop, which accepts and sells donated clothing and household items. We also gratefully welcome donations of your time and talents as volunteers. Are you looking to help out in your local community? Open Cupboard has shifts available in both the pantry and the retail store. Please stop by for an application or apply online through jotform: https://form. jotform.com/200224408901140.
