Farmingdale High School Seniors

Recognized for Outstanding Achievements

On Tuesday, June 3, Women’s Club of Farmingdale (WCF) Scholastic Awards Chair
Vicky Impollonia and her committee, Gayle Garthwaite and Lorraine Alfino and
WCF President Lynda Leone attended the Annual Farmingdale High School Senior
Awards Night. Each year, since 1920, the club presents monetary awards to eligible high school seniors, including the
Abigail E. Leonard and the Women’s Club of Farmingdale Awards. Additionally,
several other monetary awards are also presented, depending on the availability
of qualified recipients. This year, the Abigail E. Leonard Award in the amount of $1,000 was granted to Lovencya Jean Baptiste and the Women’s Club of Farmingdale Award in the amount of $1,000 was
presented to Kelsey Amiruddin. In addition, Helena Bekele received the Carla Peipert Award in the amount of $600. Congratulations to All!

At the end-of-the-year-club meeting of the WCF held on June 5 at Tre Scalini
Restaurant in Farmingdale, members enjoyed a delicious selection of appetizers,
entres and desserts. Luncheon chairs Ingrid Hernandez and Cheryl Parisi decorated each table with lovely pink “double bloom” impatiens placed in a “pseudo” teapot sitting on pink crocheted
doilies. Long-standing member Dolores Cianciabella mentioned to the club that she would like to donate her 14K gold president’s pin, on a rotating basis, to each succeeding club president to wear
during their term. The club thanked Dolores for her generosity. It was also a special time to re-visit with associate members Hilda Carman and Joan Flaumenbaum.

At the Farmingdale Fire Department Craft Fair on June 7, the WCF held a Membership
Drive where anyone could stop by, pick up a brochure, check out a club scrapbook and view recent photos of club activities or speak with a club member. Organized by Membership Chair
Judith Vazquez and her committee, Tina Diamond, and Angelina Dunlop, with support
from Lynda Leone and Maria Ortolani, it took place as scheduled despite the threat of rain. Special thanks to the Farmingdale Fire Dept. for their loan of a table and canopy and several members
who volunteered their time. The club is looking forward to getting together with several possible “new” members.

The Women’s Club of Farmingdale, a local 501-C-3 non-profit organization, is always
interested in welcoming new members. For more information, please email: lyndaleone@gmail.com or jude523@aol.com. #IAMGFWC
