Class of 1962 seeks classmates The Mahwah High School Class of 1962 is searching for classmates for the upcoming 50th reunion. Classmates are asked to contact Arlene (Dobbs) Vance at ARL9444@comcast.net. Russo novel to be discussed Not by Bread Alone, a spiritual book discussion group, will meet on Aug. 28 at 5 p.m. at Panera Bread, 1300 State Route 17 in Ramsey. This month’s selection is the 2002 Pulitzer Prize winner “Empire Falls” by Richard Russo. Russo delves deep into the blue-collar heart of America in a work that overflows with hilarity, heartache, and grace. Protagonist Miles Roby has been slinging burgers at the Empire Grill for 20 years, a job that cost him his college education and much of his self-respect. What keeps him there? It could be his bright, sensitive daughter Tick, who needs all his help surviving the local high school. Maybe it’s Janine, Miles’ soon-to-be ex-wife, who has taken up with a noxiously vain health-club proprietor. Perhaps it’s the imperious Francine Whiting, who owns everything in town and seems to believe that “everything” includes Miles. This discussion group is sponsored by the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Mahwah. For more information, contact Jennifer Edwards at (201) 327-1276 or paicc@yahoo.com. Alai to be honored at Golf Outing The Mahwah Regional Chamber of Commerce will honor David Alai, corporate vice president of Sharp Electronics Corporation, as the Humanitarian of the Year at the Chamber’s 20th Annual Golf Outing and Dinner on Sept. 12 at the Tuxedo Club. Alai, who is responsible for Sharp’s corporate human resources, corporate facilities, corporate purchasing, and community relations departments, has been the recipient of a Joint Legislative Resolution from the New Jersey Senate and Assembly recognizing his record of community leadership, exemplary volunteerism, and professional achievements. Alai has chosen the Center for Food Action as the recipient of a portion of the proceeds from the September event. The Center for Food Action provides emergency food, rental, and utility assistance, counseling, and advocacy to residents of Bergen County and Upper Passaic Valley. In 2010, CFA distributed over 53,000 emergency food packages, and helped 1,500 families stay in their homes and/or kept their heat and electric from being turned off. CFA also operates the New Jersey Anti-Hunger Coalition. For more information about the Golf Outing and Dinner, or to register to participate, visit www.mahwah.com.
