JLMC HOSTS MOTHER'S DAY OUT FOR SPRING HOUSE
The JLMC continued our focus on the Parenting portion of Life Skills Training and held a Mother's Day Out for all the women and children of Spring House on Monday, February 16th. The fun-filled day included a Music Together mommy-and-me class, special fun crafts, and a served lunch in our beautiful headquarters. We sent each mom home with a photograph of herself with her child at the start of a photo album scrapbook, and also some ideas of simple crafts she can do to keep her child engaged and entertained when necessary.

The JLMC is very fortunate to have the original Rumson Fire House at 55 Center Street as its home. The hickory wood fire station originally held one horse drawn carriage. As the town grew, the fire company relocated in 1956, and the JLMC purchased the building for one dollar.
