Office on Aging
Our St. Paddy's Day 'Grab and Go' was a fantastic event -we're just sorry to not have everyone in this picture that helped make this day special. A very loud shout-outs to Karen and Mary from Middlesex County Aging and Disabled Services, who provided the delicious corned beef and cabbage, and to Steve for helping us set up our festive space.
So many goodies inside beautifully decorated bags from Junior Brownie Troop 80224.
Thank you for thinking of your South Brunswick Senior Center friends!

An Irish Wish for you all!
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light and may good luck pursue you each morning and night!

For all gardeners: The following information is from our friends at Rutgers:

 
Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Middlesex County wants to help you grow quality food for your family and friends with the return of their weekly webcast RU Ready 2 Garden. New Jersey Agricultural Experiment station experts and their colleagues will offer advice for gardeners of all levels with a different topic each week. Participants will learn best practices from these online live presentations that may occasionally include how to videos and virtual visits to local farms.
 
The one-hour webinars will take place each Thursday at 6:30 pm from March 11 to May 27. The RU Ready 2 Garden Webcast was developed in response to the recent health crisis, with the goal of providing research-based methods to ensure success in their home and community gardens.
