Au Pairs Hit the Lanes!

bowlAu Pairs from West Orange, Verona, Glen Ridge and Essex Fells spent a recent afternoon bowling at Eagle Rock Lanes in West Orange. For some, it was the first time to try this favorite American pastime, for others, it was a chance to show off their skills. There were many new faces to meet at this Cluster meeting too as we were welcomed three new Au Pairs to the group this month. Everyone had a great time and a lot of laughs!
