What a picture-perfect fall day! 🍂☀️ Our club members soaked up the sunshine on Saturday during a scenic Hudson River boat tour. The leaves may not have been at their peak, but the lovely views, fresh breeze, and fascinating scommentary on the rich history along the New York and New Jersey shoreline made it a truly memorable day!
Did you know there is a little lighthouse at the base of the George Washington Bridge? The Little Red Lighthouse has been keeping watch since 1921! 🚤🍁
We had a fabulous time at the Mansion in May designer showhouse — featuring our very own Barbara Ostrom! Her stunning and elegant living room design was a true highlight. Every one of the 50 rooms and gardens was absolutely spectacular. What an inspiring day! Definitely worth a visit!
Members had an amazing time learning how to make homemade paneer and discovering its health benefits! We also got to try our hand at making some delicious Indian flatbread to go with it. Many thanks to Darshana for the wonderful lesson and sharing her expertise!
The Woman’s Club had a wonderful day exploring the beautifully decorated Victorian Christmas at Ringwood Manor! A big shoutout to the talented members of the Woman’s Club of West Milford, who dedicated countless hours designing, planning, and bringing this stunning vision to life. It was truly a magical and festive experience!
November was a creative and relaxing month at the Woman’s Club! Our NeuroArt class, led by the talented Lana Stovbun, gave us the perfect opportunity to let our thoughts wander and de-stress while creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind art. A big thank you to Lana for guiding us through this mindful journey!
For October’s spooky season, the Women’s Club had a fantastic day diving into the eerie world of Edgar Allan Poe! Members explored Poe Cottage in the Bronx, where the legendary author spent his final days seeking fresh air and inspiration in what was then the countryside. 
After an insightful tour of his home, no Bronx visit would be complete without a trip to Arthur Avenue! Members wrapped up the day with a delicious meal, enjoying great food and even better company. 
Here’s to more unique adventures and celebrating literary legends together!
Members gathered at Darshana’s home to learn new recipes for summer drinks. It was lovely evening trying different flavor variations. Fan favorites were the orange-basil granita, the frozen mock coffee martini, and the rose milk strawberry trifle. So many yummy recipes!
Members enjoyed dinner together and Dena Blizzard’s “I Love You, Get Away From Me!” comedy show at the Mayo Performing Arts Theater in Morristown last week. Thanks to our Arts Chairs––Kristen, Christine, and Brigitte––for organizing an enjoyable evening of comaraderie and laughs.
Members commemorated International Holocaust Remembrance Day at the end of January. Our Book Club members read The Midwife of Auschwitz by Anna Stuart and, together with other members and friends, made a trip to the Holocaust Museum and Center for Tolerance and Education on the nearby campus of Rockland Community College. We participated in a Moral Courage Workshop and toured the museum. It was sobering afternoon and a reminder to fight to end hatred of any kind, anywhere. Many thanks to Phyllis Schmaus who led our tour.
On November 1st members spent an evening at Board and Brush in Ramsey. What creative women we have! We distressd, we stained, we painted and we enjoyed a few nibbles. Everyone chose their own special project–and they all came out great!
