The Junior Woman’s Club of Verona recently held its annual Senior Dinner at the Verona Community Center. The event drew nearly 100 senior residents and featured food from Lombardi’s of Cedar Grove.

The crowd enjoying the night at the Senior Dinner. Members of the Verona High School girls’ lacrosse team and the Juniorettes also played a role in making the event a success, as they offered their assistance throughout the evening. Their hard work was very much appreciated.

The Verona Historical Society invites you to join them on Tuesday, June 4 for their meeting to be held at 7:30 p.m. in the main castle building of Essex County Kip’s Castle Park.

Robert Williams, society president and local historian, will guide you through the history of the mansion built in 1902. On the ridge of First Mountain the 11 acre estate offers breathtaking views of points east and west. The stunning wood paneled rooms and stained glass windows – some that may be attributed to Tiffany – are a perfect setting to learn firsthand about the splendor of a bygone era.

Kip’s Castle is located at 22 Crestmont Road in Verona. For more information you can email the Society at twoJVO@yahoo.com, call 973 857 1968 or visit our website www.veronahistorical.org.

Buying beautiful and interesting crafts made from recycled and upcycled materials is a fun way to help save the earth. These crafts give items that might have been thrown away as trash a new life and provide a livelihood for people living in developing nations. They also earn money for projects in Awka, Nigeria, sponsored by Bridge of Faith. This project of the First Congregational Church (UCC) of Verona, NJ, and Faith United Church of Christ of Union, NJ, helps schools, orphanages, and other social service groups. The project collects items such as school books, used equipment and gently used children’s clothes and books in New Jersey, and recycles them by shipping them to Nigeria where they are welcomed and needed. It also purchases food, mosquito nets and other items for use in Nigeria.
