Kykuit Tour

Today, members enjoyed a tour of Kykuit, the mansion at the Rockefeller Estate, in Sleepy Hollow, New York. The name of the home means “lookout” in Dutch and it is situated on the highest point in town overlooking the Hudson River. The views are breathtaking–even on a cloudy, misty day like today. The home is filled with priceless art and artifacts from around the world. We followed the tour with a delicious lunch at Sunset Cove, a waterfront restaurant. Thanks to Christine and Kristen for organizing this great day!

Dessert Reception Hosted At Cavallini School Play

The Woman’s Club hosted a dessert reception for senior citizens prior to the Cavallini School Theater Club performance of The Addams Family. The performance had been re-scheduled due to yesterday’s snow storm, but the show went on thanks to today’s sunshine and melting snow. Club members baked, served, and shared the anticipation of family members and friends who were excited to see the children perform.

Cooking Class at From Scratch

Our members enjoyed working alongside Chef Claudia Rovegno at her restaurant, From Scratch, in Ridgewood. In teams, we began with dessert first–making lemon custard. While that set, we  learned how to cook the main course–Veal Saltimbocca alla Romana, and pasta with pesto sauce, potatoes and string beans. We topped off our culinary adventure  by sharing the fruits of our labor and having a delicious meal together.
