Our neighborhood liquor store is in full operation, allowing for social distancing with one patron at a time for purchases. Also ask about our Growler Club for purchase for ice cold draft beer. We are going to do what we can to give people another option for dinner, while doing everything with safe distancing and constant monitoring of public announcements and regulations. Stay strong, follow the rules, and have faith.

Dear Ridgewood School Community,

Right out of the gate–dinner plans for tonight! If you typically shave, this is the day to do it. Get out of the sweats and into regular clothes. Comb your hair…no bun or Alfalfa hair (aging myself). For those who feel comfortable, order out. For those who don’t, cook a family favorite. Nothing like a fancy dinner (and I mean clothes and no sweats) to make people feel a little normal.

Montvale NJ, The fear of coronavirus is severely impacting the U.S. blood supply as Vitalant and other blood centers across the country are struggling to maintain stable inventories and avoid a critical blood shortage.

“We need people to start turning out in force to give blood,” said Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (the agency that regulates all U.S. blood centers). “We need it not to get to the point that surgeries are having to get canceled.”
