A Healthy Heart

A Healthy Heart

Last week, Livingston Township employees participated in National Wear Red Day. The annual event at Town Hall, done on the first Friday in February (American Heart Month), was part of the Go Red for Women initiative, a nationwide campaign that encourages women to make at least one change that will lower the risk of heart disease. While some risk factors for heart disease cannot be controlled, there are several changes you can make to help lower your risk, such as getting the recommended amount of physical activity each week; choosing to eat more nutritious foods (easier said than done on the weekend of the Super Bowl!); and quitting smoking. 02/09/2023 05:00 AM

Happy Lunar New Year

Happy Lunar New Year

It is officially the Year of the Rabbit, and after a few years of muted public celebrations due to the pandemic, we were thrilled to see people out in full force celebrating. Over the past decade or so, Lunar New Year has become ingrained in our community. From township events, to programs at the public library, to children sharing fun information about holiday traditions in school, we have continued to expand our calendar to include this unique cultural celebration. During the last weekend in January, Livingston’s annual Chinese Cultural Day celebration was held at Livingston High School, and a Year of the Rabbit celebration was held at Heritage Middle School. The events featured family-friendly activities, Chinese fare, and a spectacular, colorful performance of dance, song and more. 02/09/2023 05:00 AM
