Our Social Service Chairs, Maria DiMartino and Sheila Ghorashi, drove a carload of Holiday Gifts to Strengthen Our Sisters Shelter. Our members were happy to add to their shopping lists knowing the holiday joy it would bring to the 29 children in residence!

Our Club was happy to present both the Upper Saddle River and Allendale Ambulance Corps with the proceeds of our November Fashion Show Fundraiser at Neiman Marcus. Checks representing our ticket sales, the generous donation made by Haute Hippie, the Fashion House that sponsored our show, as well as individual donations from attendees were presented by our President, Nona Maher, and our Fundraising Chairs, Jeanine Matthews and Desire Cinotti. Diana Nash, also a Fund Raising Chair, was not able to be present. The members of our club recognize the unselfish time commitment made by the unsung heroes of the Ambulance Corps who are always ready to help when there is a need. We are proud to support them!
Our Club hosted a Holiday Dinner for members at Savini in Allendale. Thanks to the efforts of our Social Chairs, Kathie Durante and Nickie Lisella, we had a wonderful evening celebrating together!
For the second year, our generous members have purchased gifts for the children at Strengthen Our Sisters Shelter. Christmas and Hanukkah wishes will come true!
This December, our members are collecting new hats, gloves and scarves and gently used winter coats to keep those who are in need at Oasis warm this winter. We are reaching out to the community as well in our effort to make a difference. Drop off points are Bergen Highlands Methodist Church and the box at the Post Office. We thank everyone who has participated!

They were delivered on Friday–just in time for the start of school, along with toddler socks and shoes from our ongoing summer drive, and donations that came in to our collection box in the Saddle River Post Office. Two high chairs and assorted other items were collected from generous families in town and delivered to the shelter as well.
