This Saturday (Oct. 25), join us for the free Olmsted Historic Walking Tour of Anderson Park in Montclair.  Before Anderson Park existed, three houses and a fire station sat on the park property. Discover where they went and other surprising stories about how this Olmsted-designed Essex County park came to be created over a century ago, how it shaped Upper Montclair, and how it led to the formation of other Montclair parks. On this illustrated tour, also learn about efforts to rejuvenate the landscape of this park, on the National Register of Historic Places. Handicap accessible. Anderson Park is at 274 Bellevue Avenue, Upper Montclair. Meet at the boulder at the park’s northeast entrance at 10 a.m. Weather looks great, but the rain date is Sunday, same time. Call or check the Friends of Anderson Park Facebook page for weather updates. Sponsored by Friends of Anderson Park: 973-477-7207; FriendsOfAndersonPark.com.

OCTOBER 2025 PRESENTATION

Medicare Advantage Supplemental Benefits


Dental and vision and hearing, oh my! Medicare Advantage Plans may try to tempt you with a variety of supplemental benefits—or things that Original Medicare can’t cover. These supplemental benefits can be extremely helpful, or they can end up being disappointing and misleading. Watch this Medicare Minute to learn what to look for when considering supplemental benefits, and when to be cautious.

Lead%20Poisoning%20Prevention%20Week%20Email%20Banner.png
 


As we observe Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (October 19–25), we want to take a moment to celebrate an important milestone you may have missed: New Jersey’s Lead Service Line Disclosure bill (S1034/A2929) was signed into law!

Thanks to the tireless efforts of advocates, lawmakers, and supporters like you, renters across the state now have the right to know if their homes are served by dangerous lead pipes. The legislation represents a significant step forward in protecting families, particularly children, from the long-term health effects of lead exposure. 

This victory marked the culmination of a three-year-long effort to fill a critical information gap and empower tenants with the tools to make safer, healthier choices for their families.

We couldn’t have done it without you.

Your voice, your advocacy, and your support made this happen. Whether you signed a petition, shared an article, liked a post, or simply stood with us, thank you.

But our work is far from over. This new law is part of a larger mission: eliminating all lead service lines in New Jersey at a fair and equitable cost to ensure permanent, lead-free drinking water for all New Jerseyans. With your continued support, we can hold the state accountable, push for full implementation, and make sure no community is left behind.

During Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, let’s celebrate the progress we’ve made and recommit to the road ahead.

    • Support New Jersey Future in continuing this vital work.
    • Spread the word to educate renters about their new rights.
    • Stay engaged as we work for healthy, lead-free communities across the state.

Together, we’re building a healthier, more equitable New Jersey. One law, one home, and one child at a time.

Thank you for being part of this victory. Let’s keep going!

Peter Kasabach
Executive Director
