This evening is endorsed by the Upper Saddle River Youth Guidance Council, the Allendale Municipal Alliance, the Saddle River Municipal Alliance, the Ho-Ho-Kus Municipal Alliance, Upper Saddle River, Allendale, Ho-Ho-Kus, Saddle River, the Northern Highlands Regional High School, and the area’s public school districts. Residents are encouraged to pitch in as a family and cook a special meal together, pull out a favorite board game, or take turns reading aloud.
