The news is full of stories of people experiencing the worst, so it’s refreshing to hear the stories of people rising to the occasion. That’s why I thought I’d share this.
COVID-19 shut down much of life as we knew it, including school for students like my daughter, Liz. While this wasn’t the way she envisioned spending her senior year of college, rather than complain, she took positive action. Liz has a special relationship with her grandparents and is grateful they live close. She realizes, though, not everyone is so lucky, and that got her thinking about our senior citizens who are facing this crisis alone.
Liz talked about this with her friend, Jenna Ferreira, and through that discussion “Save Our Seniors of Hunterdon County” was born. “Save Our Seniors” (SOS) is a program comprised solely of volunteers who bring groceries and essentials to seniors living in communities surrounding Clinton Township.
Liz and Jenna’s idea caught on quickly. “Save Our Seniors” attracted more than 40 volunteers and the cooperation of several local organizations, including the Flemington Area Food Pantry and the Clinton ShopRite. And this is all done with no face-to-face contact to minimize exposure for all involved.
While the news reported on some college students flaunting their Spring break escapades in the midst of this pandemic, a good number of local college and high school students, led by two North Hunterdon High School alumnae, pitched in to help others in their community.
I’m proud of Liz and her friends for setting such a positive example, going out of their way to keep some of the more vulnerable members of our communities safe.

Stay well and let’s keep looking out for each other! We will get through this together!
I was very proud to be represented by Tony and felt secure at a time I needed a compass to head out of a difficult bind. Confidence in your counsel and a sense of security in understanding how best to proceed are important reasons to consider Anthony Kearns and his team of outstanding lawyers.
Tony was excellent! He was knowledgeable, responsive and on-time. His experience as a County Prosecutor definitely helped our case as he knows how the legal system works and how to navigate. I highly recommend Tony and his office.
Thankfully I found Kearns Rotolo Law and I had a wonderful experience working with Charles Rifici on a difficult divorce/child custody issue. I am so grateful for all the work and guidance he provided. He always took his time and diligently went through all my options with me so I could make the decisions that benefitted my family and I. I will be forever thankful for the top notch services he provided.
In March of 2022 I contacted Kearns Rotolo Law Firm with an urgent problem, Mr. Kearns and Mr. Rotolo contacted me immediately to give me hope as to rectify my problem. The end result was Mr Kearns was able to solve my issue through extreme professionalism, I am very grateful I found Kearns Rotolo Law firm and I would recommend their law firm to anyone that has a less extreme problem or a more complex problem, I am very grateful for their services.
I met with Mr. Kearns yesterday about a devastating situation affecting our family. Mr. Kearns and his entire staff made us feel extremely comfortable and showed our family a compassionate side that gave us comfort in the most uncomfortable of situations. Thank you very much. God Bless.
