RECAP | Plainfield Trunk or Teat |
|
On Friday, October 29, the City of Plainfield hosted its annual BOO-mazing Trunk or Treat at the City Hall parking lot. The city roared with excitement as we welcomed our first Halloween out of insolation with open arms. Ghosts, witches, and superheroes from all over our city came out to kick off their Halloween weekend with a sweet tooth.
This year's best trunk award went to the Mason Family for their Hunted Harvest theme. Plainfield's Department of Public Works won Best Division Trunk. But that wasn't all, a flash mob creeping to the beats of Thriller, broke out and took Plainfield residents by surprise.

If you feel or suspect you are suffering from a mental health issue, depression, or are having trouble operating on a day-to-day basis, please contact the Mental Health Association of New Jersey.

NOVEMBER is Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month |
|
Alzheimer's is a complex neurological disease that is the most common form of dementia. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), roughly 50 million people worldwide live with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia.
Here are a few of the most common signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's:
- Memory Loss - an individual in the early stages of Alzheimer's will begin to forget recently learned information. The frequency with which an individual forgets will increase.
- Difficulty Performing Familiar tasks - an individual will find completing everyday tasks and planning will become more difficult. A person with Alzheimer's may lose track of the steps involved in preparing a meal, placing a phone call, or etc.
- Problems with Language - Forgetting simple words or substituting unusual words will worsen over time making their speech or writing hard to understand.
- Disorientation to Time and Place
- People with Alzheimer’s disease can become lost in their own neighborhood, forget where they are and how they got there, and not know how to get home.
