Spreading Holiday
Cheer To

Local EPIC House

On December 4, the Welfare Committee of
the Women’s Club of Farmingdale (WCF) paid one of several annual holiday visits
to Epic House in Farmingdale bringing baskets of musical squeeze toys and
homemade holiday cookies and candies.
These holiday visits bring much joy to the adult residents. The team of experienced clinicians and
psychiatrists is well-trained in treating a range of behavioral and mental health
issues in a compassionate, effective and confidential manner in a comfortable,
supervised home environment.

The
club’s December meeting and Christmas party was held on 12/5 at Tre Scalini
Restaurant, organized by Luncheon Chairs: Lynne Cahill and Gayle
Garthwaite. Tables were beautifully
decorated with large Poinsettia plants to create a holiday atmosphere. The guests were served several courses from a
pre-planned delicious menu. WCF
President Lynda Leone welcomed everyone and conducted a brief meeting. Her holiday remarks included the following,
“As we gather for our Christmas lunch, let’s remember the Reason for the Season
– a Time for Love, Peace and Giving!” She quoted Norman Wesley Brooks,
“Christmas is forever, not just for one day.
For loving, sharing and giving are not to put away.” The club also used this event to collect
several dozen zippered bags with stuffed animal and books for an upcoming
donation to the children in residence at Madonna Heights.

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
