Wants you! Our Science Fiction group is for everyone 21 or older

regardless of background or marital status. Younger fans should find

another group. Please introduce yourself when you join and

periodically as new members keep joining. We plan to get together at

restaurants and to go to movies. We will see them in movie

theaters,and, if people are kind enough, on people's home VCRs, or

DVD

players, for the technologically advanced among us. Buy your own

movie tickets. Buy your own meals at

Restaurants. Hopefully a typical event would involve going to a

Science Fiction Movie and then to a Restaurant to discuss the movie

we just saw. Are you a single Science Fiction fan looking for a

soulmate? Perhaps you will find that person here. This club is not a

New Jersey singles group per se, and is open to anyone over 21,

regardless of background or marital status, nonetheless, love is a

good thing. In the parts of New Jersey where the

science fiction clubs we know of operate there is also a

very high percentage of Jewish residents. Many science fiction fans

and science fiction writers and even science fiction stars, like

Leonard Nimoy, (Mr. Spock), of Star Trek, and William Shatner

(Captain Kirk), of Star Trek, also happen to be Jewish. Most

science fiction fans I know are single men, and many of them, at

least in places like New Jersey, are Jewish.

 

Many science fiction fans in New Jersey also happen to be Jewish.

Most science fiction fans are male. For the single Jewish woman in

New Jersey joining a science fiction group may be the ideal way to

find her ideal man. Unlike most singles events, which tend to be

attended by more women than men,most science fiction events are

attended by more men than women.

 

If you happen to be Jewish, Single and over 21

Please state that you are Jewish, Single, 21 or over, when you apply

to join the Jewish Singles at the websites the urls

below will take you to

One of the biggest complaints heard from many

women who attend some singles events

is that there are far more women than men

in attendance.

New Jersey are also Jewish.

There are science fiction clubs in many

places. In New Jersey many science fiction

club attendees are single Jewish men.

THE STARSHIP LOCAL

(A note from me re the SFABC my experience with the SFABC

has been that usually your first attendance at a monthly meeting is

free if you are not a member of SFABC and after that you are asked to

join and to pay $2 for each monthly meeting that you attend.

SFABC has been holding monthly meetings on the 2nd Saturday night of

each month since 1984 after the evening program the group usually

adjourns to a nearby non-Kosher diner) please contact Phil, who is

the founder and director of the SFABC

Directions to meeting site:

Saddle River Valley Cultural Center

305 West Saddle River

Upper Saddle River

Bergen County, New Jersey

 

 

The Cultural Center looks like (but is not) a classic

little white church, steeple and all. The parking lot

is not too large, but it's okay to use the much bigger

lot of the Methodist Church diagonally across the

street.

Important Note: The Cultural Center is on WEST Saddle

River Road. One block further over is EAST Saddle

River Road. Unlike streets in New York, East does not

turn into West. The roads are on opposite banks of

the Saddle River which is nothing more than a stream

at this point.

 

FROM ROUTE 17 NORTHBOUND:

Exit ROUTE 17 NORTH at the sign which reads SADDLE

RIVER / WOODCLIFF LAKE. (This is the exit after

Sheridan Avenue, Ho Ho Kus.) This exit puts you onto

EAST ALLENDALE AVENUE heading East. Stay on road for

about 1/2 mile and turn left at the first traffic

light onto WEST SADDLE RIVER ROAD. Drive north for

1-3/4 miles. Shortly after passing a brick Catholic

Church, the Church of the Presentation, on your left

hand side you cross into Upper Saddle River. The

Cultural Center is on your left hand side. If you

come to a traffic light you have slightly overshot and

hit LAKE STREET.

Note: You will see a sign marked WEST SADDLE RIVER

ROAD on Route 17 northbound well to the south of where

you have been told to leave 17. If you take this

exit, you will eventually get where you want to be,

but it will take you a lot longer to get there.

 

FROM ROUTE 17 SOUTHBOUND:

Exit ROUTE 17 SOUTH at SADDLE RIVER / WOODCLIFF LAKE

exit. This puts you onto EAST ALLENDALE ROAD heading

East. You drive under the highway. Then follow the

directions from Route 17 Northbound.

Note: This way takes you a little bit longer than the

exit for UPPER SADDLE RIVER, but it spares you making

hairpin turns on steep hills at night in bad weather

on an unfamiliar road.

 

FROM THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY NORTHBOUND:

 

Take Exit 172, GRAND AVENUE, MONTVALE. (This is the

last exit in New Jersey and is just past the Montvale

Service Area). Turn left at the exit ramp and head

west on GRAND AVENUE. There are a lot of small towns

in this area, and the road that you're on will keep

changing its name. At different points it is called

GRAND AVENUE, MONTVALE ROAD, RAMSEY ROAD and LAKE

STREET. At the second traffic light you will be at

the intersection of LAKE STREET and EAST SADDLE RIVER

ROAD. It has two landmarks that anyone in the area

will know about: a 7-11 type store called Elmers and

a Texaco station. Keep driving west. Do not turn.

Turn left at the next traffic light onto WEST SADDLE

RIVER ROAD. The Cultural Center is 1/10 of a mile

down the road on your right.

 

FROM ROCKLAND COUNTY VIA ROUTE 59:

Follow ROUTE 59 until you come to Norris Pontiac in

Monsey and turn south at the traffic light unto ROUTE

306. This road is also called EAST SADDLE RIVER

ROAD. Head south towards New Jersey. (Note:

Although the maps show this road as Route 306, and

that's what everyone calls it, after you make the

turn, the sign reads ROUTE 73. Don't ask me to

explain it.) Stay on ROUTE 306 for 2.3 miles Note

that there is a long stretch between the first and

second traffic lights.

Turn right at the second traffic light which is the

intersection of EAST SADDLE RIVER ROAD and LAKE

STREET. A Texaco station and Elmers are at this

corner. Proceed west and turn left at the next

traffic light onto WEST SADDLE RIVER ROAD. The

Cultural Center is 1/10 of a mile down the road on

your right.

Please note that we maintain separate email reminder

lists for all of the monthly activities of the

Association. If you would like to be added to any or

all of these lists, please contact the Science Fiction Association

of Bergen County New Jersey at 201 447-3652
