She explores strategies to help senior’s lower taxes on social security and interest income on investment accounts. Ms. Abrams also covers protecting investments in volatile markets and understanding the impact of inflation and market risk on current retirement strategies. Ms. Abrams promotes financial literacy and educating individuals on how to invest in today’s markets.

Do you love to write?  Need some friendly support and feedback?  Join us in this collaborative, creative writing group now every Monday at 3:30pm!

A beloved LHT Library patron, Elaine Shaub, loved to write.  She would come to the library to free her mind and write her stream of consciousness.  Sadly, Elaine passed away in April of 2024 and, in her memory, the LHT Library invites community residents to be part of the newly re-formed Elaine’s Peacock Writers Group.  Inspiration, guidance, support and gentle critiques will be offered at the meetings.  Experience is not necessary, only the desire to put pen to paper and write.  Tools required: pen and paper, tablet or laptop — whatever helps the writing process.  All are welcome — what is shared in the group, stays in the group!

Each meeting,  a “Writing Prompt” will be provided to assist in the creative writing process and help direct the group discussions. In addition, every meeting will begin with a brief discussion on writing craft, creativity, writing preparation and time management.

This is a writing forum where everyone will be asked to write-out or simply jot-down their ideas and read them to the group. We welcome feedback and the writing trainer will provide light, constructive criticism. Please note that this is an adult forum, so adult language is tolerated within the context of the writing pieces.

Newcomers are always welcome!

Register here to be added to the mailing list and receive an email reminder with the prompt for the next class.

From Great Estates to Public Gardens

Presented virtually by Bill Moran of the Rutgers Master Gardeners

What may be a surprise to many Morris County residents is that within a short driving distance there are hundreds of public gardens. Most of them are free and offer an incredible variety of plants and designs. In some instances, these gardens were once part of private estates. The original mansion may be open for viewing. This presentation covers a range of gardens from pocket size to multi-acre arboretums. Pictures are shown of each garden along with access information and the speaker’s highly subjective rating. A list of all local gardens will be distributed.
