The Ridgewood Guild

"The health of a democratic society may be measured by the quality of functions performed by private citizens." Alexis de Tocqueville

With the words of Tocqueville in mind, it was good to hear about the new, non-profit organization which was formed in Ridgewood.  The Ridgewood Guild " encourages smaller and more aesthetic projects, says Scott Lief, president of the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce, such as planting flowers to adorn the empty tree wells in the business district and auditioning volunteer musicians to play acoustic repertoires at eight locations on the east and west sides of the village on Fridays through August.. This past April 27th was the first ever Ridgewood Film Festival held at Warner Theater."

From their website:

The Ridgewood Guild is an exciting new organization dedicated to making Ridgewood a more enjoyable place to shop, dine and visit. Our board is made up of a group of high-energy, hard working individuals who plan to make a difference. Because we have no rent, overhead, or salaries to pay, our annual dues are minimal. This gives us the opportunity to give back to the community via a carefully planned out series of events, fundraisers and marketing strategies.

The Guild's membership includes retailers, restaurateurs, non-profits, professionals and residents who have an interest in seeing our village thrive. We are always looking for ideas and suggestions, so don't hesitate to contact us. We hope you will join us!
