Connections That Matter

Jackie Fox, Director of Valley Settlement House and Martha Gallahue, our Leader, will share the podium for our regular 11AM Sunday Platform of the Ethical Culture Society of Essex County, 516 Prospect St., Maplewood, NJ.  They will discuss why our connection with one another matters. What does right relationship look like between our two organizations? We will welcome additional comments from our President Anja Moen and Gus Lindquist, who coordinates a SMArT—science and arts—program for the youngsters at VSH. We hope to have a couple of young people from VSH to participate.

 Valley Settlement House is a non-profit social service agency. It is the oldest “Settlement” in New Jersey and the third oldest in the United States. The Settlement House programs have provided educational and cultural development and continue to seek volunteers to work on those programs.

Valley Settlement House is concerned with the family and each of its members. It aims to afford opportunities for each to find and develop his/her potential for a positive life in the home, neighborhood and community. (See: www.valleysettlementhouse.org)
