Kykuit Tour

Leave a comment

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!

Along with other town organizations, we supported USR CARES in the steady mist yesterday in Lions Park. Our face painter, Kellianne, was a bit hit, and we gave out pretzel packs and information about our club. We donated a wine themed raffle basket to the silent auction. It was a great community day!

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.

On Thursday, March 20th, members spent an evening creating personalized wooden signs for their homes at Board and Brush Studio in Ramsey. The evening was organized by our Arts Chairs, Christine and Kristen. Wood, wine, paint, friendship, and creativity combined. The finished results were gorgeous!

Blizzard Bag Project

Leave a comment

We have completed our first Blizzard Bag Project!

Thanks to generous donations from Inserra Shop Rite in Ramsey, and the help of members and Girl Scout Volunteers, we assembled and packed emergency food ingredients in 50 Blizzard Bags. We filled three members’ cars with bags to be delivered to homebound seniors in town by Meals on Wheels, our Police, Ambulance Corps, and Fire Department as they see need. We hope that, through our efforts, these seniors will feel more secure during winter weather.
