Monroe Township Youth Hockey hosted its first Girls Hockey Clinic last month.

The clinic was catered towards girls ages six to 19 (the same age range of MTYH's program) interested in learning the fundamentals of ball hockey in an empowering environment with other girls and women instructors. While youth hockey leagues in town and in surrounding areas welcome girls onto the teams, it is still predominantly a boys' sport, which can feel intimidating to girls on teams or girls who want to get involved.

International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) is observed annually on August 31.

The day has been around for 25 years. Each year, organizations across the globe work to raise awareness and share knowledge about drug addiction, as well as provide a day for families and friends to grieve those lost to drug overdose. It comes a day before the start of National Recovery Month, which is observed every September.

This year, Williamstown hosted an IOAD event with the Black Poster Project, a North Jersey-based organization that honors those who lost their lives to overdose. At Black Poster Project events, a photo of each honoree is printed and displayed on a large black poster with their name, birth and death years, and brief background.

On any summer morning along New Jersey’s coast, you’ll find people casting lines from the surf, dropping bait from small boats, or simply standing at the water’s edge, waiting. Fishing here is a tradition, a livelihood, and can be a way for people to learn about and come to care for the environment.

✨ Community Corner is back! ✨

Check out the second installment of Community Corner, our biweekly feature celebrating the clubs, organizations and community groups that make our communities special.

This week, we’re featuring the ReWild Society, a social wellness group founded by siblings Tina, Chris and Kevin Davis that focuses on improving the mind, body and soul through natural wellness and human connection 🌿💛

Every Saturday morning, the ReWild Society hosts a free, phone-free walk around Cooper River Park, bringing together people of all ages and fitness levels for movement, conversation and connection. What started with just eight walkers in May has grown to a welcoming community of 30 to 40 people each week.

Whether you're looking to meet new people, prioritize your well-being or simply get out of the house and break out of a rut, the ReWild Society offers a free, low-pressure space to take a step forward — together🚶‍♀️🌳🚶

Have a club, organization or community group you'd like Emily to consider for a future Community Corner? Email her at [email protected]. We can't wait to discover and share more of the incredible groups that make our communities special!

👉 Check out the second Community Corner and meet the ReWild Society!

Usually, I wouldn’t expect to find myself chatting about what it’s like to feel lost in your early adulthood with strangers on a 90-degree Saturday morning.
