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).
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!
We wore red at our February meeting for Women’s Heart Health Month and we welcomed Cardiologist, Dr. Christine Gerula, who spoke to us about the Go Red For Women Campaign, how to have better heart health, and the signs and symptoms of heart attacks in women.
On October 21st, members were guests of The Friends of Hackensack University Medical Center at a luncheon at The Ridgewood Country Club. The featured speaker was Dr. Yeraz Markarian, PhD. Her presentation on the topic, Mental Wellness: Clarity in Uncertain Times, was excellent and most timely. Many thanks to Kristen who organized our participation.

On Wednesday, members toured Washington’s Headquarters in Morristown. We learned about the encampment of 1789-1780 when George Washington and his men endured the coldest winter on record. Washington set up his command center in the Ford mansion. The home is furnished with some original and period pieces to reflect what the house most likely looked like when Washington, his wife, aides and servants shared the house with Mrs.Theodosia Ford and her children. The museum displays 18th century weapons, documents, and paintings from the war, as well as a film re-enacting the winter conditions the patriots endured. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at South and Pine Restaurant. Many thanks to Ronnie O’Neill who planned this delightful autumn day!
