Members celebrated May with a trip to Montclair to view the Presby Memorial Iris Gardens. Since 1927, these gardens have celebrated the blooming of Irises of every hue in memory of Frank H. Presby of Montclair who was a leading horticulturist and a founder of the American Iris Society. The gardens were spectacular, and we enjoyed lunch together at Samba, a Brazilian restaurant in Montclair.

Members enjoyed an evening sponsored by The Friends of Hackensack University Medical Center at The Indian Trail Club in Franklin Lakes on May 17th. Very informative conversations on “What Matters Most To Women” in the fields of Cardiology, Endocrinology and Gynecology were moderated by Dr. Lisa Tank, Senior VP and Chief Medical Officer. The panel of doctors included Dr. Jacqueline Hollywood (Cardiology), Dr. Colette M. Knight ( Endocrinolgy) and Dr. Ami P. Vaidya (Gynecology).
