Village of Farmingdale Art in the Park
What a beautiful day on Sunday, 9/15, to stroll through the Village Green of Farmingdale to view the creative artwork of local artists. Children through 5th grade were also encouraged to display their art on the "Art Clothesline." All artwork was judged with ribbons and participation stickers awarded. The 13th Annual Art in the Park was originally created by Women’s Club of Farmingdale (WCF) member Frances Rotondo who continues to serve on the Village of Farmingdale's Cultural Arts Committee which picked up sponsorship and is made up of local business owners, Chamber of Commerce members, members of the WCF, and community residents. Thank you to AIP photographer Anna Ievolo.

And on Thursday, 9/19, the 2024-25 Women’s Club of Farmingdale Executive Board conducted their first board meeting of the new club year. Programs were introduced by 1st VP Margaret Barrett and will be presented throughout the club year. Fundraising events will include a bake/jewelry sale on Saturday, 10/12, and a “Music Bingo” at 317 Main Street in Farmingdale in November 24 at 1pm. The club will also continue its Community Impact Program titled “Shut the Door on Hunger.” During the school year, when schools are open, qualifying students receive a free breakfast and lunch. However, when the district is closed for holiday and school breaks, food insecurity for these students intensifies. “Shut the Door on Hunger” will provide non-perishable food items and/or gift cards (any denomination acceptable) to local food stores to ensure that all children have access to the healthy food they need every day to thrive until schools reopen again. More information on dates and location of food collection and a description of needed items to follow in the coming months.
