MOMS Club
provides
support,
friendship
By NORA CARNEVALE
The Sun
From potty-training advice to
philanthropy work, the
Lawrenceville MOMS Club,
which stands for moms offering
moms support, provides
Lawrence mothers with a little bit
of everything.
Divided into two clubs, East
and West, based on where mem-
bers live in relation to Route 206,
the group provides fellowship
among mothers of the communi-
ty. If the group needing to split
into two regions to cater to grow-
ing membership is any indica-
tion, the club is proving to be a
well-utilized resource.
I have only been in the club
for about two years, and personal-
ly it was an awesome experi-
ence, Kristy Vickerman, vice
president of membership of
Lawrenceville West, said. I did-
nt know anyone, and the group
was very welcoming. It was a
group of friends and resources,
like I could easily find out where
to go for a pediatrician.
The MOMS club is a national

Sponsors needed for
Main Street Jubilee
Sponsors are needed for the
16th annual Lawrenceville Main
Street Jubilee, to be held on May
4.
Were expecting more than
3,000 people to attend the event
this year, Lindsey Bohra, direc-
tor of Lawrenceville Main Street,
said. The jubilee is a real, old-
fashioned street fair. It has a
small-town feel with big-time
fun.
Bohra said the event already
has more than 75 vendors who
will provide food, music, chil-
drens activities, shopping and in-
formation on local non-profit or-
ganizations. Highlights include
the always-popular pie eating
contest and music from local
bands on the jubilee stage.
Applications are still being ac-
cepted for sponsors, vendors and
volunteers for the event. Local
businesses or residents are wel-
come to sponsor an event or activ-
ity, such as the pie eating contest
or face painting. Vendors are wel-
come to apply to gain exposure
for their small business or non-
profit organization. Forms for
vendors or sponsors are available
at www.lawrencevillemain-
street.com.
Volunteers may earn commu-
nity service hours to help plan or
work at the jubilee. Interested vol-
unteers should email Bohra at di-
rector@lawrencevillemain-
street.com.
Township receives two
safety incentive awards
Lawrence Township has re-
ceived two 2013 Safety Incentive

ity. The townships Level A
award is for $1,000 to supplement
existing safety measures, and the
B level award is for $300 to fund

HISTORY OF
KAZAK RUGS
Kazak is a small city in
the Northwestern part
of Azerbaijan, with
valleys spanning across
to Armenia and Georgia.
Woven post 1830 by
Armenians and
Afghanis, rugs from this
region were influenced
by Caucasian designs
found in rugs from old
Russia and the northern
part of the Persian
Empire. The color
palette is often red,
yellow, gold or blue with
geometric designs which
compliment both
modern and classic
interiors. Visit our store
for a wide selection of
Kazak rugs.

T
he old saying is that numbers
dont lie. Numbers are what
they are; interpret them how
you will.
Here are a few for you to ponder:
Five: How many of Atlantic Citys
11 casinos lost money on an operating
basis for the first nine months of the
fiscal year, through September
One: How many Atlantic City casi-
nos went out of business this year
the Atlantic Club plus one more
Revel which is up for sale following
bankruptcy
$10.3 million: The amount of rev-
enue from online wagering in New
Jersey in February, on pace for $123.6
million for the year, well short of Gov.
Christies original $1 billion forecast.
$12 million: The estimated tax rev-
enue from internet gambling through
the end of the fiscal year in June, com-
pared to the forecast of $160 million
$235 million: The amount of gam-
bling revenue brought in by AC casi-
nos last year, a 35 percent drop from
2012, a year that included a casino
shutdown due to Hurricane Sandy
39: The number of states that offer
casino gambling, compared to two in
1988
2 million: The number of visitors
Atlantic City bused in from surround-
ing areas last year, compared to 14 mil-
lion not long ago
The numbers dont lie not only is
Atlantic City failing, so is gambling
nationwide. Even in Las Vegas, the
gambling capital of the world, gam-
bling revenue was down to only $6.5
billion last year.
New casinos in that Nevada city are
focusing on other luxurious offerings
other than gambling, such as restau-
rants, nightclubs, pools, shopping,
spas and entertainment.
Over the last few years, Atlantic
City has begun to do the same with the
Tanger Outlets, The Pier Shops at Cae-
sars and the dining and nightlife at the
Borgata.
But is it enough? The numbers
would say that its not, or at the very
least, that more needs to be done to
make Atlantic City a bigger tourist
destination, serving more than just
the gambler.
Like it or not, Atlantic City is vital
for the states economy. Lucky for us, it
has easy access, beachfront property
and plenty of name recognition to
bounce back in a serious way.
in our opinion
Did the gamble on AC fail?
If so, then the state needs to find an alternative source of revenue fast
Your thoughts
Can Atlantic City rebound without
gambling? What are your ideas for how it
can become a tourist destination for more
than just gamblers? Share your thoughts
through a letter to the editor.

thanks Lord & Taylor for help
Much appreciation to Lord & Taylor
Quakerbridge Mall and store manager
Kelly Zingaro for continued support of the
YWCA Princeton Breast Cancer Resource
Center.
At Lord & Taylors recent Bi-Annual
Cosmetics Trend Show celebrating spring
trends, they recognized that good health
and breast cancer prevention are always
on trend. We commend their wisdom and
for inviting the Breast Cancer Resource
Center to participate. Together we were
able to provide valuable education on
breast health and that the BCRC, a non-
profit, provides many free programs and
services to women and families living
with, through and beyond breast cancer.
We rely solely on donations from indi-
viduals and corporations to run our trans-
portation program, wig and prostheses
boutiques, support groups, nutrition fit-
ness and wellness programs, and so much
more.
Thank you Kelly and Lord & Taylor and
helping us to get the word out.

Women are at the epicenter of the

The recently released Alzheimer's Asso-

Figures reveals that almost two-thirds of
Americans living with Alzheimers disease
are women and that more than 60 percent
of Alzheimers and dementia caregivers
are women. A womans estimated lifetime
risk of developing Alzheimers at age 65 is
one in six, compared with nearly one in 11
for a man.
While breast cancer is a very real and

Mercer County Sheriff Jack
Kemler announced another op-
portunity for residents to dispose
of unneeded and expired pre-
scription drugs during the eighth
National Prescription Drug Take-
Back Day on Saturday, April 26. In
coordination with the U.S. Drug
Enforcement Administration,
residents can safely dispose of
unused and expired prescription
medicines by bringing them to
the parking lot in front of the
Mercer County Administration
Building at 640 South Broad
Street in Trenton between 10 a.m.
and 2 p.m. National Prescription
Drug Take-Back Day aims to pro-
vide a safe, convenient and re-
sponsible method of disposing of
prescription drugs, while educat-
ing the public about the potential
abuse of medications. The safe-
disposal program helps keep pre-
scription drugs from falling into
the hands of those who might
make them available for abuse
and prevents them from being
flushed into the water supply or
thrown into the trash and easily
found.
Mercer Countys participa-
tion in the National Prescription
Drug Take-Back Day is an oppor-
tunity for individuals and fami-
lies to safely remove unwanted
prescription drugs from their
homes. Proper disposal of un-
wanted prescription drugs can
prevent experimentation, chronic
addiction, overdose and even
death, Kemler said.
It is a privilege for the Sher-
iff s Office to take part in such a
worthwhile initiative. During
the seven previous Take-Back
events, DEA, in conjunction with
state, county and local law en-
forcement partners, collected
nearly 3.4 million pounds (1,700
tons) of prescription medications
that were removed from circula-
tion.
For more information, contact
the Mercer County Sheriff s Of-
fice at (609) 989-6111.

Alzheimers disease over the rest
of their lives than they are to de-
velop breast cancer. In New Jer-
sey, it is estimated that by 2025,
the number of individuals with
Alzheimers disease will increase
by 24 percent from 2014.
The statistics are startling and
frightening, and the impact on
our families is real. Alzheimers
disease changes families forever
as fading memories impact every-
day relationships. The emotional
impact is overwhelming, and the
cost of care is devastating.
The Alzheimers Association is
launching a national initiative
this spring to highlight the power
of women in the fight against this
disease. I ask your readers to join
me in advocating for an end to
Alzheimers disease. We can have
a tremendous impact when we
work together. Learn more about

The Easter Egg Hunt was
started in 1929 By Charles Venner,
a Lawrenceville School employee.
Charles Hullfish, founder of pres-
ent-day Lawrenceville Fuel, as-
sisted Venner with the event from
the beginning, and later contin-
ued the tradition in his honor.
Today, the Easter Egg Hunt is con-
tinued by the third generation of
the Venner and Hullfish families.
The families are honored to con-

Lawrence High receives
character accolades
After Lawrence High School re-
ceived the distinction of a 2014
School of Character and the
Lawrence Township Public
School District was named a 2014
District of Character in January,
their applications were forward-
ed to the Character Education
Partnership in Washington, D.C.,
for consideration in the National
Schools/District of Character
program. On March 19, LHS and
LTPS were recognized at the New
Jersey Alliance for Social, Emo-
tional and Character Develop-
ment Annual Conference at Rider
University. LTPS then received
notification that it is one of the 50
finalists in the 2014 National
Schools of Character program.
The 2014 National Schools/Dis-
tricts of Character will be an-
nounced in mid-May, and for now,
the district is undergoing a rigor-
ous evaluation process that in-
volves site visits, conference calls
and analysis of the character edu-
cation programs and their impact
on school culture.
Im thrilled and so proud of
our district for earning consider-
ation in this national distinc-
tion, Superintendent Crystal Ed-
wards said.

support group for stay-at-home
mothers, including those who
have home-based businesses or
work part-time. With the excep-
tion of Moms Night Out
events, the entirety of the clubs
activities are open to children.
We try to cater to moms who
are home with their little ones
and provide fun outlets for play-
dates, visits to museums, parks
and libraries when there are mu-
sical guests. We try to have an an-
swer when a mother asks herself
Ok, what am I going to do with
the kids today? Now a mom can
know and have a group of friends,
too, Vickerman said.
As the vice president of mem-
bership, Vickerman says she
alone has signed up eight new
members since October. She ex-
plained that it is a benefit to en-
roll waves of new members
with children of close ages, re-
sulting in the children growing
up together.
The MOMS Club of
Lawrenceville West also hosts a
Moms Night Out on a monthly
basis, with activities ranging
from concerts to cooking class.
Its a great chance for moms to
get out without the kids and hang
out with friends that have similar
things going on, Vickerman
said.
All events are optional for
members of the club, and each
month a roster, newsletter and
calendar are sent out to help the
moms plan for what is to come.
Playgroups targeted to chil-
dren of various ages help facili-
tate future playdates and a break
from a childs typical routine. Ex-
amples of the age groups include
newborn to 3 years old, and 3
years and older. Past playgroups
have taken trips to bowling,
Sesame Place, fire stations and
farms.
Getting to know fellow mothers
and children is not only fun, but
Vickerman explained it can lead
to lasting helpful partnerships.
Were there for each other to
watch each others kids and give
advice about all different stages of
childhood, she said.
The club also organizes a
monthly community service ac-
tivity, which has ranged from vis-
iting a senior center with their
children dressed in Halloween
costumes to filling backpacks for
underserved childrens first day
of school.
Lawrenceville Wests MOMS
Club meets on the third Thursday
of each month at 9:30 a.m. at the
