Livingston Philanthropies, Inc. (LPI) enjoyed a highly successful Fur and Leather Extravaganza on Saturday, and, with more furs left to sell, will hold the event again this Saturday.
“We had a great sale, shattering our forecast for the fundraising event,” said Jeff “the Coat Guy” Friedman, founder and director of LPI. “Thanks to our many customers, and especially to our philanthropic Livingston neighbors who donated their fine quality furs and leathers.”
The sale will be continued this Saturday, November 2, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Friedman’s home, 8 Country Club Road, across from Cedar Hill Country Club. Proceeds from the sale will go toward the purchase of a much-needed vehicle for the Livingston-based charity to deliver donated items to distribution partners in Newark and other urban Essex County areas.

Voting and Endorsements

There are less than two weeks before Election Day on Tuesday, November 5, and this year’s ballot will feature two contested local elections. Four candidates are vying for two open seats on the Board of Education, while two candidates are running in a special election to fill the final year of a term on the Township Council.

Some have cast their early votes, so the process is already underway. But for the majority of residents who have not yet voted, we encourage you to pay attention to the candidates and the issues as we approach voting day, not simply focus on the best looking lawn signs. It is important to remember just how valuable each vote is in a local election; in recent years, less than 100 votes have made the difference in some of these races. So your vote, or lack thereof, will shape this town moving forward.
