The Ridgewood YMCA will be
honoring a local police offi cer
during their annual Taste of
Ridgewood event later this month.
On Thursday, Nov. 30, more than
20 local restaurants representing the
borough’s diverse cultures will bring
a sample of their menus for attendees
to try throughout the night at the Taste
of Ridgewood event at the Ridgewood
YMCA located at 69-02 64th St.
During the event, the Ridgewood
YMCA will honor Police Officer
Charles Sadler, community affairs
offi cer for the 104th Precinct, for his
service and dedication to the community.
The event’s keynote speaker will
be Assemblywoman Catherine Nolan.
Along with samplings of delicious
foods and live musical entertainment,
attendees will get to bid on several raffl
e prizes, including framed artwork,
wine baskets, tickets to wine tastings,
gift certificates, autographed New
York Knicks gear and much more. All
proceeds from the event will go to the
YMCA’s Annual Campaign, which provides
fi nancial assistance to children
and families to ensure that no one is
turned away from YMCA services due
to lack of funds.

6:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Nov. 30, at the
Ridgewood YMCA where valet parking
will be available.
Tickets are available online and at
