Women’s Club Of Farmingdale Approves Philanthropic Budget For 2023

Recently the Women’s Club held their end-of-year lunch/meeting at Rosemarie’s Restaurant in Farmingdale. Thank you to Luncheon Chair Edie Allen and her committee: Nancy Carman, Cathy Sewell, Judith Vazquez and Judy Vilas who celebrated “Americana” with patriotic decorations and table centerpieces. Each guest received a raffle ticket and several members won gift certificates, including two $50 gift certificates to Rosemarie’s (donated by the restaurant), a $50 gift certificate donated by Robert’s Hair Salon, a basket of Baileys Irish Cream, et al. and a basket of hand-crafted items made by Nancy Carman. Always a pleasure to spend time with associate members Madeline Bondietti and Joan Flaumenbaum and new members Jill Handley, Therese Rudden, Gail Garthwaith and Linda Hayes.

There was a short meeting where the 2023 Philanthropic Budget was approved with changes. Approved charity disbursements for 2023 include $1,000 to the Special Needs Project/Farmingdale Public Library, $1,500 to Corey’s Promise, and scholastic awards totaling over $2,500 to FHS seniors who will go on to higher education. Two other charitable disbursements were tabled for further discussion. At present, these donations and awards total over $5,000.

Because of her enthusiasm and efforts, the WCF was able to reach scholastic goals for students in our community.

The Women’s Club of Farmingdale, a local philanthropic organization, is always interested in welcoming new members. For more information, please email: lodaromanelli@gmail.com.
