📰 News we're reading

• Navesink Garden Club Announces Lineup Of Fall 2026 Events (patch.com) — Red Bank residents can look forward to a full slate of Navesink Garden Club programs this fall at The Atrium on Riverside Avenue, with topics ranging from botanical doodling to Seward Johnson's sculpture and an Art in Bloom exhibit. The club also maintains beautification planters downtown, gardens at No Limits Cafe on Route 35, and supports local horticulture education, keeping Red Bank's public spaces greener and more vibrant.
   

• Two Jersey Shore towns among Safest Towns for Senior Living (app.com) — Red Bank is highlighted as one of New Jersey's safest and most appealing towns for senior living, with strong healthcare options, an active senior center, and rich arts offerings like Count Basie Center and Two River Theater. The article also notes Riverside Gardens Park's free concerts and movies, and contrasts Red Bank's walkable downtown with Barnegat's slower-paced, bayfront lifestyle for retirees.
   

• US kindergarten vaccine coverage continues downward trend (fredericksburg.com) — A national CDC report shows U.S. kindergarten vaccination rates continuing a slow decline, while a photo highlights a Fair Haven infant being seen at IMA Pediatric in Red Bank. The piece focuses on broader vaccine trends and policy debates, not specific local health changes, but it visually connects the issue to a Red Bank pediatric practice.
