New clothes, new shoes, fresh haircuts, backpacks full of clean notebooks and sharpened pencils–everything is neat and organized as students head back to school this week. As the unstructured, vacation-filled days of August begin to fade like a summer tan, the structure of school days and the start of fall activities provide the perfect opportunity to organize our own desks and calendars. At Lois Schneider Realtor, we want to lend a hand in juggling your schedule, so here are the dates for a few local events happening this September!
September 12th–Kaleidoscope of Hope’s 2010 Morristown Walkathon. This walk, held at Loantaka Brook Park, will begin Sunday morning at 9:15. Please join “Team Lois Schneider Realtor” and countless others who, as beautifully stated by participant Aimee Feeley, “will be walking in memory of those lost, in celebration of those who survive, and in the hope that advances can and will be made against the terrible disease of ovarian cancer.” If you are not able to participate in the 1, 3, or 5 mile walk, please consider making a donation to the Kaleidoscope of Hope Foundation.
September 12th–South Orange International Blues Festival. This free, outdoor blues festival will be held in various spots throughout downtown South Orange from 11 am-8 pm.
