Dear Kasschau Shell Concert friends!
What a summer this has been! The Summer of Jo was one for the record books!
The Kasschau Memorial Shell Committee in Ridgewood was thrilled to be able to offer our Summer Concert Series despite the challenges brought to our community by Covid-19. Many acts returned to our beautiful outdoor stage and many were new additions to our lineup! All were thrilled to be on stage performing, and the “physically distant” audiences appreciated the varied styles of music and enthusiasm of the bands.
Our season began with a special dedication to our former chair Jo Delaney who passed away in January. Mayor Susan Knudsen issued a Proclamation by the Village Council in gratitude to Jo and her family for her many years of volunteerism in Ridgewood, and declared this to be the “Summer of Jo” at her beloved Kasschau Shell.
The Committee proudly awarded the Kasschau Memorial Shell Scholarship to Ms. Stefanie Hass, Ridgewood High School Class of 2020. Stefanie will be pursuing instrumental music education at the Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University.

Airbnb Announces Global Party Ban

the satff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, Today we’re announcing a global ban on all parties and events at Airbnb listings, including a cap on occupancy at 16. This party ban applies to all future bookings on Airbnb and it will remain in effect indefinitely until further notice.

How we got here

Unauthorized parties have always been prohibited at Airbnb listings. In fact 73 percent of our listings globally already ban parties in their House Rules, and the vast majority of our guests behave in manners that show respect for House Rules and for neighbors. We’ve historically allowed hosts to use their best judgment and authorize small parties – such as baby showers or birthday parties – if they’re appropriate for their home and their neighborhood.

This means designing our home the way we want it and repairing it when repairs are due. There are some repairs that we can make to our home and some that are best left to the professionals. Attempting to embark on home renovations that should be completed by professionals yourself can be dangerous and can compromise the structure of your home.

When Should You Initiate A Daycare Accident Lawsuit?

daycare

A daycare center is where busy parents leave their children as they go about their day jobs, in the hopes that they will be cared for in a safe and welcoming environment. If something should happen to your child there, regardless of the size of the infraction, it is a tremendous break from the inherent trust brokered by the act of childcare. It can be a hurtful and infuriating incident, and sometimes requires legal counsel. If you need to instate the services of a daycare center and would like to know more about your rights and when to secure the assistance of a lawyer, then read on for more information.
