February 2024
Happy February!
I’m Tara Reynolds, the new RCA president for 2024. I’ve lived in Ridgewood for 9 years now, and this is my 6th year on the board. I’m so thankful we moved into this amazing community with wonderful neighbors and fun events for both kids and adults.
Thank you so much to Renee for leading the charge last year and helping to organize so many fabulous events. Thanks also to Maureen Hochberg, and Amy Benck, who are staying on as officers this year. Finally thank you to Lynne Hiatt, who is returning to the board as our secretary this year.
Thank you to Renee and Maureen for a great kick off party, I’m upset that I ended up sick and had to miss it, but heard it was a fun time for all those that attended.
Another thanks to those that came in person, and those that zoomed into our RCA annual meeting to vote in the new board members.
Onward to our next 2024 Events and areas of interest:
Ladies Social:
