The Women’s Club had a fantastic time at our Great Holiday Cookie Exchange, complete with delicious homemade treats, favorite recipes, and some truly spectacular ugly sweaters! 😄🎄 Thank you to everyone who baked, participated, and showed up in festive style. Special thanks to Darshana for hosting! Our recipes will be posted shortly in this post. It was a sweet and cozy way to celebrate the season together! 💕
✨ ❄️Our members had a wonderful time kicking off the holiday season with our celebration at Delpino’s! We are also proud to support our sister club, The Saddle River Valley Junior Woman’s Club, with their holiday toy drive. Thank you to everyone for your support and your wonderful generosity.🎁✨

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! 
💚👚 Our Club members had a great volunteer day yesterday at the Community Thrift Shop in Midland Park!
Two hardworking shifts helped tag an amazing amount of donated clothing, with a little lunch break in between and even some fun shopping at the end. By the end, the huge pile of clothing behind us was all tagged and ready for pricing. A portion of the shop’s proceeds go back to charitable organizations like ours. This is a great fundraiser project for our Club.
If you donate items to the Community Thrift Shop, please ask them to mark your donation for our Club,#39 so we can continue supporting local causes together. Thank you to everyone who volunteered! 💚✨
🌲📚 We brought the woods indoors!
Our Book Club dove into The God of the Woods by Liz Moore this month — and we fully embraced the theme by giving our meeting a woodsy campsite feel!
Huge thanks to Karen and Joan for creating the perfect atmosphere with camping-style snacks, goodies, and the cutest campfire/s’mores cupcakes to top it all off. 🔥🧁
Best of all… no one got lost in the woods! 😉
A great book, great discussion, and great company — what more could we ask for? 💚
📚✨ A Huge THANK YOU to all the students, teachers, parents, and school administrators who supported our Poetry & Essay Contest this year! We’re thrilled to share that we received a record-breaking 380+ entries! 🎉 Your creativity and enthusiasm continue to inspire us every year!
Looks like we’ve got our work cut out for us! 😅 We might need to call in a few more readers to help us enjoy all these wonderful submissions. Stay tuned for updates and results soon! 🏆📝
📚 So many recipes! Our Book Club had a lively discussion last night after reading The Briar Club by Kate Quinn. We loved exploring the different lives and challenges of women in the 1950s, such difficult and trying perspectives! A big thank you to Fran for hosting and treating us to a delicious spread inspired by the Briar women’s favorite dishes! 🍷📖✨
Next month’s read: The God of the Woods by Liz Moore — join us on November 18th! 🌲
In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, our members joined the Center for Hope & Safety’s 10th Annual 3K Walk Against Domestic Violence. The weather was perfect for a beautiful stroll through the park — all for an important cause! 💜🚶♀️🌳
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! 🚤🍁
Had a blast at our October Just Coffee at Soma Cafe & Creperie in Waldwick! Shared great stories, yummy food, and a lot of laughs!
