Organizers at the Ridgewood Community Center, having recovered most assets lost during Hurricane Irene, are hoping to raise money to purchase items that will enhance users’ comfort, convenience and experience.
At the request of a new fundraising arm of the Community Center Advisory Board, the village is preparing to distribute letters soliciting monetary donations from various individuals and businesses. Donations received by Ridgewood will be added to an existing recreation trust fund, which banks money for recreation and community center uses, according to acting Village Manager Heather Mailander.
The fundraising campaign will initially begin by approaching specific individuals.
“We’ll send [the letter] to people I know have an affinity to the community center. It’s a small list of donors,” said Councilwoman Gwenn Hauck, liaison to the advisory board. She added that the committee hopes to generate between $10,000 and $15,000 during the first wave of donations to offset the costs of various wish list items.

Take the money from the parking meters, no one will notice.
Open note to Ms. Hauck: The first floor of Village Hall periodically floods and it floods badly. So be sure that whatever you put down there is waterproof otherwise you’ll just be flushing money down the HoHoKus Brook.
quarters are waterproof
