Old Stone Church Tour
We had a very informative and insightful tour of the Old Stone Church last Saturday thanks to Elder Peter Freeman, Vice President of the Consistory. Prior to the church’s construction, the church’s first ministers traveled on horseback to minister at members’ homes. The church’s front entrance and the first and oldest tombstones are made from local sandstone from the Saddle River. The non-denominational cemetery contains tombstones dating back to the early 1700s.
Fun Fact: The original bell from the church now resides between Bogert and Reynolds school!

Storm King Art Center
Last week members took a tour of Storm King Art Center in New Windsor, New York. It was a lovely fall day and the art and landscape architecture of the Center were awe-inspiring! Many thanks to Kristin Farlese who organized the day.
Board and Brush Evening
On November 30th, members enjoyed an evening at Board and Brush in Ramsey. Nibbling on appetizers and sipping wine, they created wonderful pieces for their homes and for holiday gifts. Thanks to Arts Chairs, Christine and Kristen, for arranging this great evening!
Kykuit Tour
Today, members enjoyed a tour of Kykuit, the mansion at the Rockefeller Estate, in Sleepy Hollow, New York. The name of the home means “lookout” in Dutch and it is situated on the highest point in town overlooking the Hudson River. The views are breathtaking–even on a cloudy, misty day like today. The home is filled with priceless art and artifacts from around the world. We followed the tour with a delicious lunch at Sunset Cove, a waterfront restaurant. Thanks to Christine and Kristen for organizing this great day!
Trip to Broadway
Twenty nine of us headed into the city last night. We enjoyed a pre-theater dinner together and saw the new Broadway Show, Summer. It was great night with great friends! Thanks to Kathie, Robyn and Christine for organizing!
