NJLLA members enjoyed a wonderful evening at the Newark Museum in September for the long-awaited celebration of our 25th anniversary. Many thanks to our speaker, our sponsors, our Program Committee, the museum, and of course our members!

The NJLLA Program Committee would like to remind our members of this week’s 25th Anniversary program at the Newark Museum. Details are here, and please remember that the Community Service Committee is collecting school supplies at this program as well.

The Program Committee would also like to share some dates for the 2013-14 program year so you can mark them in your calendars. Most programs will start at 12 p.m., and the costs are still to be determined for November and March programs. We will be sending detailed information about each event as it approaches.
