In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, members of the Woman’s Club of Upper Saddle River joined the Center for Hope & Safety’s Walk Against Domestic Violence at Van Saun Park, standing alongside fellow Federation women’s club members from the Palisades District in support of survivors and their families.

It was a meaningful opportunity to come together as a community, raise awareness, and show our support for an important cause. Every step we take helps remind survivors that they are not alone. 💜

Our members truly knocked it out of the park at this year’s Ramapo District Achievement Day!

We had 20 entries across a wide range of categories and the results were outstanding. From glasswork, watercolors, pysanky, and photography, our members earned an impressive 7 First Place awards and 8 Second Place awards.

Even more exciting, all First Place entries will advance to the State Contest held during the Convention in May! What an accomplishment!

In addition, 8 of our annual reports received Best Work recognition, along with our Book Club.

We are so proud of everyone who participated. Your talent, creativity, and hard work continue to shine! 🎉

Congratulations to the Winners of Our Poetry & Essay Contest!

We are thrilled to announce the 12 outstanding students who were selected as this year’s Poetry & Essay Contest winners! Big congratulations to Isabella, Victoria, Ajun, Reya, Essa, Solema, Samantha, Aushmi, Harrison, Hannah, Anshi, and Justin!

With this year’s topic being “What was the best gift you ever gave someone?”, our young writers shared heartfelt, thoughtful, and sometimes funny stories about the joy of giving and their creativity truly impressed us.

We were also thrilled to recognize Victoria and Ajun, whose entries from last year went on to win at the State Federation level! We also had 3 other State winners: Leah, Lucy and George!

We also want to extend a big thank-you to the parents, teachers, administrators, and our dedicated judging panel for supporting these young writers. And an extra-special thanks to Tamara, our contest chairwoman, for her tremendous work organizing this year’s contest.

We are so proud of our young authors! Keep writing, keep imagining, and keep shining!
