Area Rotarians invited to meeting The Allendale Community for Mature Living will host a meet and greet event in honor of the new Allendale/ Saddle River Rotary Club on Tuesday, Aug. 17 at 6:30 p.m. The meeting, which will feature a buffet dinner, is open to the public. Area Rotarians are encouraged to attend. Reservations are required, as seating is limited. The evening’s guest speaker will be Christina Genovese, director of business affairs for the office of the governor. The new Allendale/Saddle River Rotary Club has already begun several projects, which include providing temporary living quarters to the earthquake victims of Haiti, establishing a recreation program for low-income seniors in Paterson, and assisting a burn victim from Poland. The club meets weekly at 8 a.m. on Wednesdays at Savini Restaurant in Allendale. The Allendale Community for Mature Living is located at 85 Harreton Road in Allendale.

Valley offers hypnosis for weight control The Valley Hospital will host a Hypnosis for Weight Control Program on Wednesday, Aug. 4 at 7 p.m. The twohour weight loss program will provide behavior modification and hypnotic suggestions to participants so they can make permanent lifestyle changes to lose weight naturally and successfully. It is widely known that going on a diet does not address the reasons for overeating. This program will address the internal and external triggers of unproductive habits by using hypnotic suggestion and behavior modification techniques. Participants in the program receive a 30-day reinforcement audiotape and a series of behavior modification cards to be used daily as positive reinforcement. The program fee is $75, and includes the cost of materials and revisits to future seminars for one year for reinforcement. To register, call 1-800-VALLEY 1 (1-800-825-5391). Seniors invited to sunset cruise The Northwest Bergen Senior Activity Center is hosting a sunset cruise with the Hackensack Riverkeeper on Thursday, Aug. 19. The two-hour trip up the Hackensack River will cover the same route traveled by the coastal schooners that once carried cargo to and from Bergen County. Attendees will pass the ruins of former docks and landings and discuss the region’s all-but-forgotten maritime history. The cruise will travel as far north as the Court Street Bridge for an opportunity to get an up-close view of the USS Ling, a WW2 Balao-class submarine and centerpiece of the New Jersey Naval Museum.
