EVENTS: Chabad's Summer Kick-Off, PBA Golf

Try a Moms4Moms spin class, start a summer herb garden on a small wall — or rock out to a jazz-punk-jam band at Chabad. And roller derby, anyone?

The next few days, and through the weekend, bring a summer sampler of events and activities.

Like music? There's everything from jazz piano by a Morris County native, and a New York-based "jazz-punk-jam" band that you can enjoy while munching on kosher barbeque — all nearly in your back yard!

And you might be surprised at some of the unusual choral selections that will be presented next Tuesday evening at the annual Spring Concert at Ridge High School. Part of the entertainment will be the return of "Guys Night Out," featuring local adults who will add their voices to those of students'.
