>HILT Senior Citizen Meeting Open House and Speaker Peter Fenzel
Ridgewood residents 55 and older are invited to join Highlights In Leisure Time (HILT), a senior organization under the auspices of the Ridgewood Department of Parks and Recreation. Monthly meetings include entertainment and/or informational presentations, followed by refreshments. Also, a variety of monthly trips are offered.
In February, HILT will be hosting an Open House for new members on Thursday, February 10 at the Ridgewood Community Center from 10:00 a.m. to 12 p.m. Annual membership dues are $15.00. Peter Fenzel, a loyal supporter of the Concerned Citizens of Allendale (instrumental in the acquisition of the Fell House), will be the featured speaker. The Fell House, a national historic treasure, was purchased by the town through fund raisers and donations. Fenzel will discuss John Fell’s life in Bergen County as a merchant and also his involvement in the American Revolution.
On February 17th, a HILT trip has been planned to the Hunterdon Hills Playhouse. The Playhouse is celebrating its 30th anniversary with the presentation of a new musical revue entitled, “The Great American Songbook.” The program will consist of music and songs that immigrants brought with them from their native lands. The bus departs from Graydon Pool at 9:45 a.m. (boarding at 9:30 a.m.) and returns at 5:30 p.m. The cost for HILT members is $48.00; non-members $53.00.
