Public Relations & Fund-Raising Committees

Public Relations Committee

Public Relations Meetings:  The Public Relations Committee meets the first Wednesday of each month except during July and August at 7:00 PM in the function hall. Please feel free to visit us or to become a member of our committee. We welcome suggestions of events you might like to see happen at Ridgefield.

Cabaret:  How would you like to do something nice for that special someone in your life? Or, maybe just something special for yourself. Come to the clubhouse on Sunday, February 14th at 3:00 for some great entertainment. We will have a trio of singers who will perform some Broadway show tunes as well as some love songs. As usual, there will be some great refreshments. The cost for this is only $5.00 per person. Please call the office to reserve your spot now.

Bridge Group:  The Bridge Group continues to play each Thursday afternoon at 1:00 p.m, serious but not intense. If anyone would like to join us, please call Joan Nierintz at (978) 368-0517.

Afternoon Tea:  Our first tea of the new year was on January 20th. It was a great time to get out after inclement or cold winter weather. Good conversation and some laughter was enjoyed by all. Look for another tea party in March.

St. Patrick’s Day Dinner:  We haven’t even gotten to Valentine’s Day but we must start talking about St. Patrick’s Day. Please mark your calendar now for Sunday, March 14th at 4:00 p.m. for this event. More information will follow in the March review.
