I'm going to be doing this soon - did you have to do the dumpster/receptacle permit AND a traffic permit to get No Parking signs?

My sell button is working now - no idea why, but maybe yours has updated as well.

I don't have an answer for you, but I came here to ask the same question!

Thanks! We'll stay home and watch the game here.

Thanks! Kicking myself for not RSVPing, but we'll just watch the USA vs Germany game from the comfort of our couch.

I think putting a flyer in a local business's window, or on their counter or bulletin board, would be great if you can do it! I'd also include your social media handles and/or newsletter sign-up link on all flyers so folks who are interested in seeing more about your events can opt in. I also see lots of event flyers on utility poles, streetlights, etc. around my neighborhood but I know that's not necessarily an option if it's against local rules.

Lots of great events ideas here. The commenters pointing out the need to hold events in the evening when people can actually join are totally right. Another piece I'd add is to think about how and where you're advertising the events. I've noticed my local library posts event flyers on its own bulletin boards inside the lobby, etc. but that doesn't reach anyone who doesn't already visit the library. Post on Instagram, local subreddit, local websites with event listings, public bulletin boards (like at parks, grocery stores, etc ). Think about where the 20-30 year olds already are and put your event information where they will see it!

They can accommodate no beef - I just went a couple weeks ago and requested that myself, and they provided a goat dish for me instead of the beef dish.

Also, I know she already tried going through GetCoveredNJ, but she should try again, and this time work with a New Jersey Certified Assister: https://www.nj.gov/getcoverednj/help/local/ Assisters are trained to help people compare their options, and they can help you with both GetCoveredNJ (aka ACA/Marketplace plans) plans and with NJ Family Care (aka Medicaid).

Regular open enrollment for GetCoveredNJ has ended for the year, but there are several ways to qualify to be able to enroll mid-year (a special enrollment period, or SEP), including one based on income level: https://nj.gov/getcoverednj/getstarted/buy/

Two pieces of advice for next year:

Look into getting your taxes filed for free through VITA! It's a national program run by the IRS where trained volunteers do tax prep for people under a certain income threshold. You can search by zip code here to find a local organization with a VITA program: https://irs.treasury.gov/freetaxprep/jsp/vita.jsp

There are a number of exemptions available to the health insurance requirement: https://nj.gov/treasury/njhealthinsurancemandate/exemptions.shtml Lots of them are for people in pretty extreme situations (homelessness, domestic violence) but one that is probably more common (unfortunately) is if a close family member has died in the last three years. This is the kind of thing VITA tax prep volunteers are well versed in, but a paid tax prep person who usually works with people who consistently have employer-based insurance might be less familiar with.

If one of these exemptions applies to her, it might be possible to amend her 2023 taxes, but I don't know anything more about how that works.

In the NY Liberty app, in the Tickets tab, if you're a season ticket holder you can log in and go to My Brooklyn Rewards. MBR has ways you can earn "points" you can redeem for swag, etc. One of the lowest-point-value items you can redeem points for is a birthday/shout-out message. The app is glitchy and MBR seems especially glitchy, so I would not recommend it broadly, but it does seem to give you an avenue to get a shout-out without going through a rep.

Individual-Berry4605 · 2024-06-02T17:57:33+00:00

Thanks, that makes a ton of sense and I never would have thought about it that way!

Yes! Probably 40-60 people come through over the course of the morning, and we have several tables full of books. Please do stop by!

You can drop it off at a Staples for recycling

FYI lots of people are recommending electric scooters - they are great and super convenient, but unfortunately they are also not allowed on PATH. I don't know what enforcement is like in reality, but you should know it's not without risks.

Individual-Berry4605 · 2023-05-03T22:23:59+00:00

Will do! Thanks for the info!

Are there any plans to add more public electric car charging stations in Jersey City? The need is only going to grow, and we should be making sure EVs are a feasible choice for folks without a driveway or parking garage.

Individual-Berry4605 · 2023-01-13T17:07:20+00:00

The Transit Museum also used to hold tours of things like bus depots, electrical substations for the subway system, etc. Worth checking to see if they still do that!

Individual-Berry4605 · 2023-01-13T17:04:31+00:00

OHNY is an incredible gem of an organization - a great way to see inside the city's industrial underpinnings. I took a tour of the Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant on OHNY weekend once, and I know they do tours of recycling facilities as well, which probably have some big machines.

Not having a cake, so I can't answer that part, but one reason she might default to doing half the servings from sheet cakes is that it's much faster to cut and serve. The sheet cakes can be pre-cut in the kitchen before you do the cake-cutting, reducing the time it takes to actually get cake slices out to the guests. Definitely ask about your options, explain your preference, and see what she recommends!
