Received from Ellen Sullivan, Interim Secretary 

 

Greetings to all who live in Essex County and the surrounding  Counties and
everyone who would like to attend-all are welcome.  The Northern Chapter is
an Old and New Meeting.  We were previously led by our beloved President
Rebecca Bryant who passed away in July 2018 and we now have the opportunity
to be led by Interim President, Rick Fox.  The meeting location has been
changed to increase accessibility to all living in Essex County and its
surrounding Counties. 

The new location, the Bloomfield Civic Center, 84 Broad Street, Room 6 on
the 2nd floor. The cross street is Liberty Street and the building is
located between the Bloomfield Public Library and Sacred Heart Church.
There is a wheelchair accessible entrance in the back of the building on
State Street close to the elevator. If you use the elevator, press 2. When
you get off, walk straight until you come to a hallway. Then turn left and
walk to the end of the hall. Room 6 is the last room on the left. If you
come in the front entrance, you'll go up 2 sets of stairs. There's an office
with a staff member a few feet from the entrance on the left. The main
hallway is just past the office. Turn right and walk to the end of the hall.
There's a stairway to the 2nd floor. Room 6 is the first door on the right. 

There will be volunteers meeting you at the door to show you the location of
Room 6. Feel free to contact us on our cell phones. My number is
973-641-5067, and Debbie's number is 973-641-5074. 

If you have a question, call Rick Fox or Debbie Bloomer on our home number
at 973-743-6107. 

We're looking forward to a productive and enjoyable year on the part of the
Northern Chapter.
