Apgar & Sons Septic Tank Cleaning Family Owned Business Annandale 908.735.5248 www.ApgarSonSeptic.com Turning Point has partnered with CARS (Charitable Adult Rides & Services) to offer supporters a new and meaningful way to contribute to Anderson House, a Turning Point program, located in Whitehouse Station. Vehicles donated through this program drive forward Anderson House's efforts to support women on their road to recovery. Anderson House is a residential program for women recovering from alcoholism and drug addiction dedicated to providing quality treatment as these women develop the necessary goals and life skills to become responsible, productive, and sober. "We are fortunate to be working with CARS, passing on this alternate way donors can support our mission which also helps to protect the environment by properly removing unwanted vehicles from the road," states Dawn Knill, Director of Development and Public Affairs for Turning Point. This new partnership with CARS offers donors an easy way to repurpose any unwanted vehicles. Donating a vehicle is easy, tax- deductible, and avoids the hassles of selling or the costs of repairing altogether. Vehicle donations strengthen the programs provided by Turning Point, specifically the ones offered by Anderson House. CARS guides donors throughout the entire donation process and provides a free and convenient pick-up. Many nonprofits across the U.S. rely greatly on their vehicle donation program as a stable source of funds. CARS is the largest nonprofit vehicle donation provider and a trusted partner to over 3,500 other nonprofits in North America. CARS also provides transportation independence to thousands of seniors in the San Diego community by operating a free shuttle program called On the Go. To donate your car, motorcycle, RV or boat visit: https://careasy. org/nonprofit/turningpointinc or call: 855.500.7433.

Walsh and Ballard will be on-hand to share the history and the inspirations for designing their rugs. Lucy Walsh is a fiber artist living in Clinton, New Jersey, and a Readington Township native. She has been creating hand-crafted hooked rugs since 1990. Her recent collections of original rugs include 'story rugs' which tell of real-life or imaginary events, and quaint primitive designs. Her rugs have been featured on websites, fairs, rug hooking publications and have appeared in the Rug Hooking Magazine's Celebrations® book recognizing nationally known fiber artists. Sharon Ballard started traditional rug hooking in 1985 after moving to New Jersey. She now resides in Stanton. "I first noticed theses rugs in the magazine Country Living and with a little investigation I found a wonderful local teacher, took several classes and have been rug hooking ever since. My style is to create a rug that has a folk-art look. Most of my rugs were inspired from antique rugs. Simple designs with bright and bold colors". This program is held inside the Historic Wade-Wycoff Barn at the Bouman-Stickney Farmstead, 114 Dreahook Road, in the Stanton section of Readington, or for GPS use Lebanon, NJ. Although there is no fee, donations to Readington Museums are gladly welcome. In case of inclement weather please call the Museums to find out the status of the program. For more information, please visit www.readingtontwp.org/ ReadingtonMuseums.html or call 908-236-2327. The Readington Museums received an operating support re-grant from the Hunterdon County Cultural & Heritage Commission, with funds from the New Jersey Historical Commission, a division of the Department of State.
