Shady Rest 100th Anniversary Celebrations Underway

The Preserve Shady Rest Committee is excited to honor the Shady Rest Golf and Country Club 100th anniversary. The private golf club was organized by the Progressive Realty Company, a group of African-American businessmen living in Westfield, New Jersey. They had their official opening open July 28, 1921 with nearly 2,000 people in attendance.

We will be honoring the Shady Rest with a series of events beginning with the "Author Signing". You are invited to meet local authors from Scotch Plains, Plainfield, and Summit; some were born and raised in Jerseyland (Scotch Plains).

Please share this invitation with educators, historians, family and friends.

Guests who wish to attend can reserve their seat by using the Community Pass on the Scotch Plains web site or by emailing preserveshadyrest@gmail.com
