Museum to host gallery talk In honor of Veteran’s Day, the Mahwah Museum will present “Les Paul in World War II,” a gallery talk by Dr. Charles Carreras on Nov. 7 at 7:30 p.m. The museum is located at 201 Franklin Turnpike in Mahwah. The talk is part of the year-long celebration of “Les Paul in Mahwah,” a tribute to the creative musical genius who lived in Mahwah for over 50 years. In the fall of 1943, Paul was drafted into the U.S. Army, where he was invited to play for Armed Forces Radio. During his time working with the armed forces, he began producing music and recruiting various well-known performers such as Kate Smith and Dinah Shore. It was here that he learned more about disc recording and electronics, and networked with influential people in the music industry. Charles Carreras, professor emeritus of Latin American Studies at Ramapo College, and vice president of the Mahwah Museum, is the author of “Les Paul in Mahwah: A Tribute.” The professor’s talk will recount how Paul’s experiences during his time in the U.S. Army influenced his future career. Admission to the gallery talk is $3 for the general public and free for veterans and museum members. To reserve a seat, visit www.mahwahmuseum.org or call (201) 5120099. The Mahwah Museum receives operating support from the New Jersey Historical Commission, Department of State.

Every week, Christians pray the ancient words of the Nicene Creed. Like the first disciples, when Christians today pray “credo” at the beginning of the Nicene Creed, they are saying, “I give my heart and loyalty to God.” The program will explore what Christians mean when they say “I believe.” Registration is required and may be completed by contacting Jennifer Edwards at (201) 327-1276 or Jennifer.
