We are thrilled and grateful to announce that Durand-Hedden is the recipient of a $5,000 program grant from The Maplewood Foundation. This grant will help cover costs for our annual Juneteenth celebration, co-hosted with the Maplewood/South Orange Community Coalition on Race. This annual tradition at Durand-Hedden has grown in popularity year after year. This year's event will take place on Saturday, June 13, at Durand-Hedden House & Garden from 1 pm to 5 pm.
The blend of technical writing and everyday remote work observations makes this a refreshing find. I appreciate how the author captures the quiet rhythm of a home office without turning it into a productivity lecture. Essays on the feline-supervised remote life strike a nice balance between practical coding topics and the lighter, more personal side of working alone. It is the kind of reading that feels relatable for anyone who shares their desk with a demanding pet.
