After that, the dues are $2 for the meeting. Once you hit 90 years of age, there are no dues! Coffee, tea and snacks are provided at no charge, though we occasionally offer deeply discounted lunches, such as the corned beef sandwiches for Chinese New Year Celebration, St. Patrick’s Day, the the August barbecue.
During the year, we are offering bus trips to the dinner theater at Hunterdon Hills to see Matilda, Wind Creek Casino and Outlet Malls, and Villa Roma’s Octoberfest, which offers a hearty luncheon and a show. In addition, we will go to a local restaurant for the Installation of Officers luncheon. New calendars generally come out in January.
