Cranford Calendar
True Thabo will be hosting its first annual benefit cocktail party to raise money for the installation of a well in a remote Zambian village, providing a lifetime of clean water to the community. The cocktail party will be held on Friday, February 22, 2019, at The Cranford Social from 7 – 10 PM. Tickets include a three-hour open bar, delicious appetizers, tons of giveaways and opportunities to learn more about True Thabo’s work. Tickets are $50 for ages 21+ and $25 for ages under 21. 100% of all proceeds go directly to the installation of a well and community education lessons on the importance of clean drinking water to the Jenga village, a remote community in Eastern Zambia.
This non-profit organization was founded by local Cranford resident, Marissa Frank, a 2014 graduate of Cranford High School. True Thabo is a registered 501(c) 3 non-profit organization that provides clean drinking water programs and sanitation lessons to schools and communities in Eastern Africa s they work toward making clean water a right, not a privilege. All donations are 100% tax deductible. Tickets for the fundraiser may be purchased at https://truethabo.org/
The Garwood Knights of Columbus welcome friends and our local communities to donate and help save lives in Honor of Michael Sot. We like to thank Michael’s parents and family for allowing us to Honor Michael.
Michael Thomas Sot was a loving, smart, responsible and always caring son, brother, cousin, nephew, grandson and friend to all who knew him! Michael was a 2017 Arthur L. Johnson HS Honors graduate and lifelong Clark resident. At 20 yo he was a college sophomore at The College of New Jersey majoring in Math. He joined the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity. Early December 2, 2018, he was a designated driver for an off-campus frat event when tragedy struck. He, three frat brothers, a sorority sister, and another college student were hit by an alleged impaired driver. Two days later, Michael died. During his hospitalization and the other victims care, they needed multiple life-sustaining blood transfusions. Volunteering your blood could help so many like Michael. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Did you know 1 in 7 people entering the hospital need blood? Only 10% of the eligible population donates blood.
When you donate blood, it doesn’t just help people during disasters. From surgery to fighting cancer to giving birth, blood donations are used to save around 12,000 lives a day. A lot of the medical care we take for granted wouldn’t exist without blood donations.
Blood Drive held at St. Anne’s Garwood. Park in the lot and follow signs to Bethlehem Room.

Mark your calendars – Restaurant Week is back! Over 10 downtown restaurants will be participating in Restaurant Week, from Sunday, February 24th – Friday, March 1st with prix fixe dinner menus. Follow us on social media to see the list of participating restaurants, as well as the menus they’re offering. This is a great opportunity to try a new place or revisit some of your favorites.
This Sunday will be the start of a new tradition at A Toute Heure that takes equal parts from the history of the restaurant as well as the heritage of the chef and owners – Sunday Supper! Now that brunch is every Sunday we thought it would be appropriate to start opening up for dinner the last Sunday of the month. This month the theme will be a Polenta Party! This is a traditional dinner party originating in Northern Italy where everyone gets together and feasts on polenta and braised meats (though you’ll be just fine if you’re a vegetarian). Everyone will sit down at 6:30 pm and the three-course meal will begin. Bring a nice bottle of red wine! We thought it was also appropriate to collaborate with our friends Nick and Kim of Fat, Drunk and Fancy for this one – so expect to see their beautiful faces! Can’t wait for this!
Reservations are strongly encouraged as we are only a 12 table restaurant. Call us at (908)-276-6600 or make a reservation by clicking the “book now” button on the top right of our page!

I will be competing in the NY Giants Snow Bowl, a flag football tournament at MetLife Stadium that raises money to benefit Special Olympics NJ.
My team, Luke’s Warriors, is playing in honor of Luke Brown, a courageous Cranford kid whose family we share a special bond with. Myself and more than 30 other local dads have been practicing every Sunday morning ‘on the frozen tundra’ of my old high school field in preparation for my first Snow Bowl on Saturday, March 16th.
Please help support Special Olympics New Jersey by making a donation.
Thanks so much! Your contribution, big or small, helps 25,000 athletes throughout the state reach their goals.
Special Olympics NJ came to Cranford High School to film one of our practices with the other local team. WARNING: It’s awesome and heart-warming.
