It’s just one of those unofficial summer days — an everybody-in-the-pool kinda day.
It’s the kind of day when a Rumson-Fair Haven area person wishes he or she could take a swim, sit on a poolside porch overlooking the ocean and rock. Really rock … in a rocking chair at the old iconic Peninsula House.
It’s all about celebrating community spirit.
That’s what The Foundation of Fair Haven organizers are stressing about this year’s Fair Haven Day, set for June 8 — not that there’s anything new about that. It’s just that after a bit of time of doing without a Foundation and a Fair Haven Day, they felt that with the second year since the day’s full-on resurrection, the time was more than right to make the theme come to life with extra purpose.

They made a Navesink splash.
The water rescue units of the Rumson and Fair Haven First Aid squads made their inaugural water run of the season with the Nav-e-Sink or Swim race patrol out of Victory Park in Rumson today.
“Where’s your father?” my Fair Haven neighbor shouted to me from across the street some years ago a bit before Memorial Day.
“Uh, whaaat??” I answered with a chuckle. “Um, he’s in the cemetery?”
“Which one?” he asked.
A bit befuddled and more focused on taking the garbage out than my long-deceased dad’s whereabouts, I shook my head and laughed as he continued with “We can’t find him.”

And the winner is … Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) for four 2024 Basie Awards.
You could say that this RFH guy of the 1970s is bending over backwards for a baseball catch. Something like that.
The RFH Senior Prom was Friday and people are still talking about it and its stylings — or writing about it on social media.
The photos of prom ways of 2024 gave fossils of RFH yesteryear proms something to talk about — in their vintage minds, anyway.
The scene in the Rumson-Fair Haven area on Friday was flush with a little TGIF and a lot of senior prom.
Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) seniors stepped out and into classic prom times 2024 with traditional pre-prom gatherings and festivities.

They’re in the fight to win it — the fight against pediatric cancer.
And one step toward that win is fundraising for various components of the effort. One organization that does such work with care, support, survivorship and research funding is Tackle Kids Cancer at K. Hovnanian Children’s Hospital.
To aid in a celebration of this organization’s efforts in fighting the kids’ cancer fight, Jamie Caulfield, a Rumson resident and trustee on the Jersey Shore University Medical Center Foundation board, recently held an event at her home to highlight the group’s accomplishments.
“Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation thanks Jamie for her hospitality and for helping us spread the word about the critical work being done to fight pediatric cancer at Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health,” a released statement from Hackensack said.
