NJFA News and Resources
July 6, 2020
We hope you all had an enjoyable 4th of July weekend, full of (socially distant) gatherings or family time.

As we continue to navigate the phases of re-opening in our state and surrounding area, here is some helpful information from the NJ Dept. of Health on minimizing your risk. Please share and visit the NJDOH website for more information.
We would like to again thank the sponsors, presenters and attendees that, joined us for NJFA's Learning from COVID-19 Webinar Series.

If you missed any of the sessions or would like to re-visit any of the presentations, recordings of all three webinars are available on NJFA's YouTube

And sign up for our next webinar, on July 17 presented by Archer Law. This webinar will focus on health care documents and participants will learn about the different types and how to run their own health care document clinic.

Due to the COVID-19 virus, the NJ Primary Election was moved to July 7th and with that date quickly approaching, we wanted to share some helpful information about voting in the NJ Primary.

For safety purposes, registered voters are encouraged to vote by mail. Our friends at AARP NJ prepared an instructional video to assist voters in understanding how to correctly fill out and mail in your ballot. See the video below.

AARP NJ has also prepared a resource guide that has many details about voting on July 7th. You can find additional resources at aarp.org/NJVotes2020 or by contacting Election Officials in your County.
