Last night’s Plant and Sip Fundraiser was wonderful! Many thanks to our Fundraising Chairs, Jeanine, Diana, and Des who organized everything, to Catherine, the greenhouse manager from Abma’s Farm who taught us how to plant our succulent terrariums with such energy and advice, to Jonathan from B&M Market in Park Ridge who donated all the food for the evening and stayed to explain his delicious offerings, to Savvy Chic jewelry who treated us to a display of their beautiful and well-priced jewelry and donated a portion of their sales to the club, and to our members and guests who nibbled, laughed, sipped, and planted together and left with a beautiful terrarium. We appreciated all of your support!

Cooking Class at From Scratch

February 5, 2017October 14, 2025Leave a comment

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.

The mission of Oasis is to change the lives of women and children by breaking the cycle of poverty through compassionate programs designed to feed, clothe, educate, and empower women and children in need.

A big thank you to our members and the others in our Community who thoughtfully donated new hats, gloves and scarves and gently used winter coats for the ladies at the Oasis Shelter. Thanks also to Kathryn Hamilton who drove a carload to the shelter!
