GLEN RIDGE, NJ — The Glen Ridge Kiwanis Club has announced October Feast, a food, beer and wine tasting event to be held at the Glen Ridge Women’s Club on Monday, Oct. 24, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Food tastings will be provided by 20 nearby restaurants. A beer tasting will be hosted by the “Glen Ridge Home Brewers Association.” The wine tasting will be hosted by a local wine and spirits shop. A tricky tray is also planned.
Organizers anticipate 250 to 300 persons in attendance.
Proceeds from the event will support:
• The Eliminate Project, an international Kiwanis effort to address maternal and neo-natal tetanus in developing countries that kills both mother and baby. Kiwanis plans to raise $110 million over five-years and, in conjunction with UNICEF, provide nearly 400 million vaccine doses.
• Our local Kiwanis Club’s Scholarship Program that awards scholarships to graduating seniors at Glen Ridge High School based largely on their community service.
• Music Therapy for Children with Autism. The local Kiwanis are initiating a multi-year program to help support the emotional, social and cognitive health in autistic children.
Kiwanis International is a global organization of volunteer men and women dedicated to “changing the world one child and one community at a time.”
The Glen Ridge Kiwanis Club was chartered in 1959 and is dedicated to helping children and providing community service. During its 57 years, the club has conducted hundreds of projects to help youth grow up to be better citizens and make Glen Ridge and our world a better place to live and raise our families.
