The day before moving to Singapore for three years for her husband’s job at Credit Suisse, Ridgewood resident Eileen Mohan had a barbecue to put on for 60 children from Paterson.
The barbecue at Graydon Pool last Friday was the traditional end to an annual program that enables Paterson children to receive free Ridgewood YMCA swim lessons at the pool.
This year, the happy occasion was also tinged with sadness: It marked the culmination of Mohan’s 28 years aiding the Community Association with a Ministry to People Youth Development Program (CAMP YDP).
