2005 attendees saw the renovated YWCA Theater
You can be an angel for the Holidays.
At the annual Hanging of the Greens next Monday evening, the YWCA's holiday tree will be decorated with angels signifying contributions to the agency and its programs. Your angel can be there.
The annual event harks back to the days when single women lived at the YWCA, and gathered together to decorate the striking 2-story octagonal reception area with greens, a tree and ornaments, according to Executive Director Jackie Glock.
Several years ago, PT had the honor of meeting one of those 'YW girls' who met her husband -- then the organist at Grace Episcopal Church -- while living in the facility in 1944, and returned to Plainfield to celebrate the couple's 50th anniversary by renewing their vows at the church.
Though the YWCA no longer serves to house young working women, the tradition has continued as an opportunity for supporters of the organization to make a contribution and to socialize.
The Hanging of the Greens reception will be held at 7 PM, Monday, December 11 and is free and open to the public.
Tours of the facility, including the new Early Childhood Learning Center and the state-of-the-art co-ed Health Club will be offered.
For more information, call the YWCA at (908) 756-3500 x112.
