We’ve begun to pickle! Our first official foray into learning and playing the game was on November 4th at Down Town Sports Club in Mahwah. Twelve members attended and had such a good time that we’ve decided to make pickling a recurring event. Members are still welcome to join the group for next time to dink and ace with us!
On November 1st members spent an evening at Board and Brush in Ramsey. What creative women we have! We distressd, we stained, we painted and we enjoyed a few nibbles. Everyone chose their own special project–and they all came out great!
On October 26th our Membership Committee hosted a Meet and Greet for prospective new members. Members invited friends to come to socialize, and many of our committee chairs were also present to welcome and connect with the prospective members. Our President, Alex Asteris, presented information about our club and our many upcoming events and everyone had a chance to view a video highlighting las year’s events. The evening was well attended and, as a result, we have 4 new members! Many thanks to Fran Nuzzi and Joan Clifford who organized the evening and to Alex Asteris who hosted.
Here’s what you do with a cast of characters as long as your arm! Thank you Brigitte for hosting a terrific book club meeting and breaking down Killers of The Flower Moon for us all!
Utilizing our rain date for the first time ever, we had a sunny and successful Sunday for our 2023 Garage Sale. Over 50 houses participated!
Thanks to the generosity of our members, we delivered many bags filled with everything to make October birthday children happy!
Members read The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and then toured the Morgan Library in New York City. Our tour guide was excellent. It was trip to remember and recommend!
Did you know that nearly 65% of our fundraising goes back to our local community? The remaining portions of our funds are channeled towards charities dedicated to the welfare of women and children. 
Thank you for being part of our journey and making a real difference. Your support means the world to us!
We are grateful to our members for their incredible generosity in supplying needed baby clothes, diapers, and many other items needed by Children’s Aid and Family Services and The Lighthouse Pregnancy Resource Center. We sorted and donated clothing from size 0-3 months to 5T, baby bath supplies, formula, pacifiers, board books, small toys, diaper cream, blankets, bottles, and many boxes of diapers and wipes. We filled two carloads with the donations and our hearts were happy to help!
On June 6th we gathered at Anona Pavilion in town to celebrate the end of another successful club year. It was a special evening–our 21st Annual Baby Shower––to benefit Children’s Aid and Family Services and The Lighthouse Pregnancy Resource Center. Members very generously donated needed baby clothes and supplies. We also welcomed prospective new members, and invested our incoming Club Officers with a Daisy Ceremony. Members shared homemade appetizers and desserts. Our Mayor, Arman Fardanesh, presented outgoing President, Nona Maher, with a proclamation recognizing her years of service to the club and the town. Nona led the Investiture Ceremony for our new President, Alexandra Asteris, Vice President, Jeanine Matthews, Treasurer, Paula Skier, and Secretary, Jane Bodnar. Nona also recognized and thanked all the Committee Chairs who served with her during her 8-year tenure as President. We were happy to welcome three new members!
