I’ve often had the thought, “If anything ever happens to me in Jersey City, Joyce Davison will be the first person I’d call.”. Joyce is a JC force to be reckoned with. Her compassion, energy, focus, and drive along with her extensive contact list are formidable.
So, when I saw that Grace Community Services (GCS) was planning a party to celebrate Joyce’s 80th birthday, I had to get my tickets stat.
Thanks to the Joyce’s hard work and creativity, GCS has served thousands of breakfasts to food insecure and homeless people for over 20 years. Not only that, GCS has also provided a week day morning haven for seniors with wellness programs, opportunities for self-expression, companionship and fun. What would Jersey City be like without Joyce?!
Joyce’s 8oth birthday event is on Friday, October 21st. She doesn’t want presents, but there is a gift that is sure to make her happy: a stable foundation for GCS. Can you help raise $30,000 for GCS so it can continue for another 20 years?
Make a donation and celebrate Joyce’s birthday on Friday, October 21st starting at 6:30 pm. Get your tickets HERE. $50
Let’s make it one of Joyce’s best birthdays every!
(GCS is a not-for-profit charitable org so all donations are tax deductible).
@WalterParks LIVE
Friday, September 30 at 7:30 PM – 11 PM
Cathedral Arts Live is thrilled to kick off its sophomore season by hosting legendary blues and jazz guitarist Walter Parks as he lays down tracks for a new album!
Walter built an international career as the lead guitarist for Woodstock legend Richie Havens, as half of the folk-duo The Nudes, and as leader of the neo-southern rock group Swamp Cabbage.
Described by singer Judy Collins as “a musical treasure,” Walter’s “soulful Americana rock” is an immersive experience in “warm guitar melodies, smoky vocals and troubadour narratives that gather strength with age,” according to WNYC.
You don’t want to miss it!

Congratulations to @HudsonCCC Culinary Art Institute @acfchefs
The
Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the demand for chefs and head cooks at restaurants and other establishments will grow 9%, faster than most other industries in the country. With the popularity of cooking shows and competitions, more and more people are discovering the field of culinary arts and what it takes to be successful in the industry. Earning a certificate or degree in the field not only provides the experience and training needed to get your foot in the door, it also provides a foundation for upward mobility to become future leaders and trend setters in the industry.
Best Choice Schools (BCS) looked at culinary schools across the United States to develop a list of what we believe to be the 50 best culinary schools or programs in the nation. From their initial list, they looked for schools that offer hands-on experience, internship/externship opportunities, student operated restaurants, modern facilities, and a solid reputation in the industry.
BCS only looked at schools that were nationally accredited or accredited by the American Culinary Federation.
Congratulations to HCCC Culinary Art Institute for being in the TOP 50 schools across the country!
