Our hospital is certainly a bustling place compared to the way it was in September 15, 1961, when it opened with fifty beds and fifteen physicians on staff and it was called Community Medical Center. It is now RWJ Barnabas Health, with its sister hospital seventeen minutes away by helicopter from the rooftop helipad.  At that time it was a vision to have a community hospital. Construction is going on right at this time to allow the patients to have all the advantages available to diagnose and treat each person with the most up to date equipment. Our dedicated volunteers continue to raise funds to be a part of the improvements and ongoing transformation of this important part of our community.

Your donations and support are what makes us as successful as we are. We thank you for your continued support. If you would like to remember a birthday, graduation, anniversary, any special occasion or loved one, please consider making your donation to Holly Twig.  We will send a special note to the person or family you are remembering or honoring, as well as a letter to you for your records. Donations are an easy way to support this very worthwhile group. 

Our Holly Twig members, who knit and crochet, are busy all year long making hats for the newborn babies to wear home as well as making chemo caps for patients in the Oncology Department.   All of our hats are made by Holly Twig members, and we use approved patterns.  We welcome your donations of yarn to keep our projects going. 
Our meetings are scheduled for the second Wednesday of the month. Our next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, March 13th.  We have coffee and refreshments at 9:30AM and the meeting begins at 10:00 AM at HC Berkeley Clubhouse 2. New members and guests are always welcome. Sometimes, we have time for an informative program. In February we had a hypnotherapist. That was fun!

Break a leg! – The traditional saying before someone hits the stage.  Hopefully there will be no legs broken (or hips, ribs or any other vital bones) upon our performance this season.

We will be presenting in May our “Holiday City 2024 Variety Show” and it promises to be exciting.  It will be the same concept as the Carol Burnett Show or the Sonny And Cher Show.  Various acts performing to entertain the masses

Anyone who is interested in joining this performance as an act, is encouraged to come to our next rehearsal. Rehearsals are every Tuesday from 6-8PM in Clubhouse 2 in the main hall.

If interested, or for more information, please call Pat Tatarro at 908-309-6478
Hope to see you on the stage!
