Little Silver, NJ - Little Silver resident and design project management consultant Dulce Feito-Daly has amassed a great deal of connections throughout her 17 years of experience as a design and project management consultant. She lobbied many of those contacts this year as she tried to help her fellow citizens devastated by Superstorm Sandy. One of her latest endeavors, a collaborative effort with the Borough of Union Beach, Second Life Bikes of Asbury Park and The SOURCE, (Red Bank Regional (RBR)’s School Based Youth Services Program), took place on Saturday, May 4, when 80 bikes were gifted to the children and teenagers of Union Beach. The Union Beach Firehouse served as the hub of the event, as it has for most relief efforts since the storm, as volunteers delivered an assortment of bikes to elementary and high school aged children.

HAMILTON, N.J – Approximately 914,000 New Jersey residents will travel 50 miles or more for the Memorial Day holiday weekend in 2013, a slight decrease of .06% 919,000 that traveled in 2012. The Memorial Day holiday travel period is defined as Thursday, May 23 to Monday, May 27.
“The majority of New Jerseyans, 828,650, plan to travel by automobile, this figure is relatively flat from the 828,300 that drove to their holiday destination last year,” according to Tracy E. Noble, spokesperson for AAA Mid-Atlantic. “However the recent increase in gas prices is not going to deter the 90% of Memorial Day travelers who will be venturing out by automobile this holiday weekend.”

NEWARK, NJ - Monmouth County remained steady at 6th place in the annual New Jersey Kids Count rankings, which measure progress in improving the lives of children in 13 critical areas.

The county lost ground, however, in other areas, including an increase in child poverty and a decline in the number of low-income students receiving free- or reduced-price school breakfast.
