Backpack Pals 2014
BackPack Pals
Our BackPack Pals Program provides backpacks full of supplemental nutritious, kid-friendly food to children who are food insecure over the weekend. When a child is food insecure, he or she is at great risk of going hungry.
Our BackPack Pals volunteers deliver food each Friday to participating schools in our community. I have been a Backpack Pals volunteer and contributor over the past 3 years. It is truly rewarding to know you are giving back to your community.
Now, you can do the same, even if you don't have the time:
A picturesque town in Essex County, Maplewood is located on the East Branch of the Rahway River. Originally consisting of farms, mills and orchards, Maplewood is now a great mix of residential and commercial areas, culminating in the jewel of a downtown village and coming together to create a charming, tight-knit and diversified community. Maplewood has predominantly Colonial and Tudor style homes with sprawling porches and ample greenery, but you can also find some Victorians and a range of more modern style construction on its beautiful tree lined streets.
Maplewood is a diverse town with 6 elementary schools and prominent municipal building designed by famous architects, Guilbert and Betelle. In the center of town, famed landscape architects, the Olmstead Brothers, created the breathtaking Memorial Park; not to be overlooked is Ricalton Square, nestled between the train station and the downtown shopping; this area is frequently used for events including a Halloween Parade with hayrides and petting zoos, as well as featuring replica homes during the Winter Holiday Season. The town offers many activities to its residents from camps in the summer, arts and crafts classes, a public pool (with 4 pools ranging from a “baby” pool to toddler pool to large lap pool and a diving tank) and a farmers market when in season. There is even an annual musicalpalooza--Maplewoodstock—featuring a variety of bands and musical styles, showcasing local and national bands with booths for local businesses to set up.
The Village, also known as Maplewood Center, is a quaint, downtown shopping district with everything from restaurants with foods from all over the world, bakeries, dance studios, gyms, bookstores, a movie theater and bookstores. With its large variety of cuisines to choose from, Maplewood recently started a yearly town-wide Restaurant Week with over 30 eateries participating.
Easily accessible by its throughways and the New Jersey Transit, it's no surprise Maplewood has been ranked several times as one of the most desirable places to live in America by a number of surveys.

NJ OPEN HOUSES APP
PRESS RELEASE:
NJ Open Houses App Developed to Make New Jersey Home Search Easier
NJ real estate agent Mark Slade has introduced an app with comprehensive information about NJ cities and towns to simplify the home buying process.
Maplewood, NJ, September 13, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Mark Slade, a top producing New Jersey real estate agent, has introduced “NJ Open Houses,” an app that puts all the information buyers want and need about a prospective town and its properties at their fingertips. Along with details about available homes, the app provides information on essential services and amenities from schools and hospitals to restaurants, parks and houses of worship. The NJ Open Houses app provides buyers with all the necessary home search tools.
“This app (see below for QR codes for quick download) uses the latest technology to provide the most updated, real-time listings of open houses in northern NJ,” said Slade. “I added comprehensive information about New Jersey Train Towns, a Quick-Find Map and other features to make this a buyers’ complete mobile resource. Sellers also benefit from extra exposure for their listings.”
Alex and Jamie, buyers who are looking to move from a Hoboken apartment into a single family home, have this to say about the app: “Since we began searching multiple towns in New Jersey, this has been an invaluable tool in that it allows us to learn more about each of the communities we have targeted and then allows us to see what the open houses are and where they are located in each of these towns. We’re so excited about this app and the communities. There is no doubt that NJ Open Houses will help buyers find the home and community that are perfect for them.”
Towns currently covered by NJ Open Houses include Maplewood, South Orange, Montclair, Glen Ridge, Millburn, Short Hills, Livingston, Summit, New Providence, Madison, Chatham and West Orange, with expectations that Springfield and Mountainside will be added in the near future. The app is available at the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and HTML Store.
In addition to developing this app, Mark Slade has built an arsenal of more than 190 domains and 15 websites, including www.bedroomcommunitiesofnyc.com, www.unioncountyhomesnow.com and www.maplewoodandsouthorangehomes.com, www.searchessexcounty.com all with home search capability and more. His Facebook Business page: Realtor for the Bedroom Communities has a home search capability, and his social media dominance is reflected in the fact that his blog www.sladeblog.com has more than 125,000 hits and his YouTube channel www.MarkSladeProductions.com has almost 100,000 views as of 8/25/14.
