Ridgewood's 4th of July Parade
Our YW joined the Village of Ridgewood in observing the 100th Anniversary of its Independence Day celebration—and our own 90th birthday—by marching in the July 4th parade. Members of our Newcomers Club and summer camp families braved the heat to proudly display our message on banners and T-shirts. They were rewarded for their efforts with a post-parade party that included hot dogs, ice cream and arts & crafts. Our sincere thanks to all of the moms, dads and kids who took time during this busy holiday to support and honor our YW!
Tea & History
Friends of the YWCA Bergen County enjoyed high tea and the chance to share memories with acquaintances old and new at our “Tea and History” event on June 2, 2010. The Woman’s Club of Ridgewood was decked out in the YW’s signature shade of persimmon and filled with archival photos, videos and memorabilia highlighting our 90-year history of making a difference in the community. Guests were also treated to a brief history of tea provided by food historian Judith Krall-Russo. This was the first in a series of 90th Anniversary special events we’ll be hosting this year to show our appreciation for all who have supported our efforts throughout the years.
