🎉 We’re Proud to Support Bergen CASA! 🎉

We’re thrilled to share that the Women’s Club of Upper Saddle River has donated $1,000 to Bergen CASA’s Foster Teen Internship Program!

This incredible program empowers foster teens in Bergen County with paid, hands-on internships that help them build confidence, gain real-world experience, and develop essential business and workplace skills. These opportunities are especially important as teens prepare to age out of the foster system and begin their journey toward independence.

In times when funding is tight, every dollar makes a difference. We’re proud to help ensure more young people have the skills and support they need to thrive.

🙏 Thank you to Bergen CASA for the life-changing work you do — and to our community for helping us make a positive impact!

Thank You! Give Blood Save Lives!

❤️ We want to send a massive THANK YOU to everyone who participated in our Community Blood Drive yesterday!

Despite some unexpected hiccups that made us wrap up early, the power of this community shone through. We were still able to collect 20 Pints of Blood in 2 hours. That’s incredible!

A HUGE shout-out also goes to our generous local sponsors who fueled our wonderful donors:

George from the Saddle River Deli for the delicious sandwiches and

Elmer’s Country Store for providing the fantastic pizzas!

And of course, many, many thanks to Bergen Highlands UMC for graciously allowing us to host the drive in their building.

Your generosity will help save lives! Thank you all for making a real difference! 🥰

Garage Sale Thank You!

🌟 A huge THANK YOU to all the homes in town who participated in this year’s Garage Sale!🌟

For the very first time, we decided to join in the fun with our own sale. It was a great day of community spirit, treasure hunting, and friendly faces. We hope you all had a successful and profitable day! Looking forward to doing it again with you next year! 💚

Baby Shower Drive Success!

🎉 Thank you to everyone who supported our Baby Shower Drive! 🎉

We’re overwhelmed with gratitude for the 1,500+ items donated, valued at over $7,400, to benefit Lighthouse Pregnancy Center and Oasis, A Haven for Women and Children. 💚

A special shoutout to Dagne Dover for their generous donation of stunning diaper bags and accessories, and to Lauren for gifting a brand-new 4-in-1 convertible crib! 🍼✨

For those unfamiliar:

👶 Lighthouse supports women, men, and teens facing unplanned pregnancies with free, confidential services. They currently run 25 ultrasounds per week and welcomed over 600 babies last year.

💪 Oasis empowers women and children to rise out of poverty through basic needs assistance, adult education, and social services.

Together, we’ve made a meaningful impact—thank you! 💖

And That’s A Wrap!

🎉 What a fabulous way to wrap up our Club year! 🎉

Our members gathered for a fun and heartfelt Year-End Celebration filled with laughter, connection, and community spirit. We proudly showcased many of the generous donations collected during our Baby Shower Drive — nearly 1,500 items supporting women and children in need. 💕🍼

Things got competitive with a lively game of “Get to Know You” Bingo, and we topped off the evening by honoring some of our most active members with funny, playful awards for their “athletic achievements” — from dog walking, to pickleball, to spin biking! 🏆🐾🚴‍♀️

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the evening (and the year!) such a success. Here’s to a summer of fun and a fantastic year ahead! ☀️💐

Mansion in May House Tour

We had a fabulous time at the Mansion in May designer showhouse — featuring our very own Barbara Ostrom! Her stunning and elegant living room design was a true highlight. Every one of the 50 rooms and gardens was absolutely spectacular. What an inspiring day! Definitely worth a visit!

We Got Talent!

Our members got talent — and the awards to prove it! 🏆📸

Congratulations to our talented members for winning big at District Achievement Day for their photography entries, and to our hardworking committee chairs for earning top honors in the annual reporting awards.

We’re especially proud that our District First Place Award went on to win First Place at the State Convention! What an amazing way to end the club year — celebrating creativity, dedication, and teamwork. 💙✨

Congratulations! 40 Years Strong! Federation Honors!

💐 As we wrap up our club year, we had the joy of honoring two incredible women for 40 years of dedication to our club — Nona Maher and Barbara Ostrom. 💐💫

⭐️ Barbara was inducted into the NJSFWC Honor Roll, recognizing her outstanding service and commitment. Nona, already a member of the Honor Roll, received the distinguished Federation Order of the Lily for her continued dedication and impact.

Although they couldn’t attend our meeting, we brought the celebration to them — surprising them at home with their pins and flowers. A heartfelt thank you to Nona and Barbara for inspiring us all! 💖
