Join pop culture historian Leslie Goddard and prepare to immerse yourself in the pages of America’s favorite cookbooks and discover what they tell us about American food culture and eating habits.
Leslie Goddard is an award-winning actress and scholar who has been presenting history&nbsp;programs for more than twenty years. She holds a Ph.D. from Northwestern University specializing in American studies and U.S. history as well as a master’s degree in theater.

With traditional defined benefit pensions becoming increasingly rare, most Americans rely on retirement savings vehicles like 401(k)s, IRAs, and other investments to fund their post-work years. Turning these savings into a reliable income stream can be challenging. 
This is where annuities have become a popular—and now mainstream—option. Many annuities offer “income for life,” similar to Social Security, providing peace of mind and financial security in retirement.
However, annuities come with important considerations. They often require locking up a portion of your assets, and not all annuities are created equal. Factors such as fees, surrender charges, payout options, and the financial strength of the issuing insurer can significantly impact your retirement strategy.
In this lecture, Fred Ciccone, a licensed insurance professional specializing in Medicare, long-term care, and retirement income, will explore the various types of annuities, how they work, and key points to consider when evaluating them as part of your retirement plan. 
Attendees will gain practical insights to help make informed decisions about securing lifetime income in retirement.

Dogtopia of West Orange

At Dogtopia, we believe your pup deserves the absolute best in care, safety, and play. Whether you’re dropping off for a few hours of play, an overnight stay, or a relaxing spa treatment, Dogtopia is your dog’s home away from home. Our dog daycare provides a safe, supervised, and engaging environment where dogs can enjoy off-leash play in spacious playrooms designed for their comfort. Each playroom is separated by size and temperament, ensuring every pup is paired with the right friends for safe socialization. Our highly trained Canine Coaches are always on hand to encourage good behavior, monitor interactions, and provide lots of love and attention. Dogtopia isn’t just about play — it’s about wellness, too. A day at Dogtopia helps your dog stay active, burn off energy, and return home happy and relaxed. To support overall health, we offer the DASH Activity Collar — a daycare-approved smart collar. DASH tracks your dog’s activity levels, rest, and wellness, giving you valuable insights into their health and behavior both at Dogtopia and at home. It’s another way we make sure your pup is not only having fun, but thriving. Our boarding services give dogs a chance to enjoy all-day play and restful nights under the care of our trusted team. And if your dog needs a little pampering, our spa services include baths, brush-outs, nail trims, and more, so they’ll look and feel their best. As pet parents ourselves, we know safety and transparency matter. That’s why every Dogtopia location is equipped with webcams, allowing you to check in on your pup throughout the day. Our facilities are sanitized with pet-safe cleaning products, and our staff is trained in canine behavior, first aid, and safety protocols.
