Sixteen cases of Dictionaries have been ordered for all third graders in Park Ridge, Montvale, and Woodcliff Lake Schools. They will be delivered in mid September to Jan's warehouse. (THANKS SO MUCH, JAN!) We will need several members to volunteer in the distribution of the Dictionaries to third graders at Memorial School, Montvale, Dorchester School, Woodcliff Lake, and the West Ridge, Eastbrook and Our Lady of Mercy Schools in Park Ridge. Distribution should be completed by the end of October. Rotary book plates are ready and waiting.
Lord and Taylor Savings Passes are now available from Lisa Peck or Irma Chazotte for the October 4 sales event at the Fashion Center in Paramus. THE CLUB KEEPS ALL MONEY FROM THE SALES OF THESE $5.00 PASSES. Sell 200 passes - earn $1,000.00. Plus, the club will receive a percentage of the sales credited to our club on the day of the event. Each member is urged to be responsible for at least 10 passes. Sell them or gift them to family, neighbors or friends, or GIVE THEM AWAY to clients or acquaintances as promotional tools. We can't afford to pass this opportunity up.

After 14 years away – the folks there were even more happy to see her than she was to see them! Connie spoke of encountering real Philippine cooking once again - fried crickets among other things. While there she had a chance to meet up with Mercy and Noreen Sicat, good friends from their GOL stay with Dick and Pat Beattie. Noreen and her parents are doing well and asked that Connie extend their best wishes to members of the Park Ridge club.
