The presentation is scheduled for May 17th at 7:00PM in the Community Room at Village Hall. Since the presentation conflicts with the scheduled meeting of CSAC, it was decided to cancel the CSAC meeting of May 17th so as to allow Members/ Liaisons to attend the Age-Friendly Ridgewood event. (See attached announcement).
