Garrett Speaks to Ridgewood Rotary Club
(RIDGEWOOD-NJ )– Rep. Scott Garrett (NJ-05) spoke with the Ridgewood Rotary Club on Tuesday at the Old Paramus Reformed Church in Ridgewood about his work in Washington, DC.
“I want to thank the Ridgewood Rotary Club for inviting me to discuss the issues facing our country and a number of legislative initiatives I am working on in Congress,” said Garrett after speaking to the Rotary Club. “Their pursuit of service to the community is an example of the generous hearts we New Jerseyans pride ourselves in.”
