Cranford Calendar
Cranford residents can get flu shots next Tuesday, October 16, at the Community Center from 3:30-6PM. Please read the flyer below for more information.
We’ll lead you through the registration processes for the federal and state procurement systems, show you exactly where to go to get a clear picture of who’s buying what, and share the secrets to becoming a sub-contractor, among other essential practices.
This is your opportunity to get the clear directions you need to get started in government contracting. No matter what you are selling, somebody in the federal or state government is probably interested in buying it! You’ll start small, but some of our most successful clients started out with contracts worth just a few hundred dollars!
Already registered with the government but need a refresher in making the most of procurement opportunities? Attend this workshop and you’ll come away better prepared to find relevant postings and close the sale!
Ivy Rehab is teaming up with the Cranford Township to conduct a roundtable discussion about breast cancer awareness. See the flyer for additional details.
They’re back! It’s time for one of the anticipated events of the year, the Scarecrow Stroll. Come downtown and check out over 100 scarecrows lining the streets.

The Friends of the Cranford Public Library bring you a timely and informative presentation on early immigrants to the United States.
Lecturer and photographer Walter Choroszewski will present the history of immigration to America from the first Colonial wave through the second mid-1800s wave of frontier expansion, culminating with the third Great Wave that passed through Ellis Island Immigration Station in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These migrants brought their culture and traditions and blended into the melting pot of America. Walter is the grandson of Eastern European immigrants and shares stories of his family’s journey.
Walter Choroszewki has offered public speaking and popular school programs on a variety of subjects for over 35 years. He has published 18 books of photography, and was the primary photographer of the iconic state tourism campaign “NEW JERSEY & You: Perfect Together!”
