WCF Community Enrichment

WOMEN’S CLUB OF FARMINGDALE COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT

In March, the Women’s Club of Farmingdale (WCF) was able to turn members’ unwanted “lemons” into someone else’s “lemonade.” At the February Lemon Auction, members brought a variety of gently used household items that were then auctioned off by Bea Ferrari, WCF member and auctioneer “extraordinare.” Proceeds support student scholarships and community improvement.

Through the efforts of Welfare Chairs, Rosemary Emigholz and Anna Ievolo, the WCF was pleased to welcome

Fr. Duffy from St. Kilian’s Parish to their March 2 meeting. Fr. Duffy took time from his busy schedule to thank the club for all their community and outreach efforts and donations. As Fr. Duffy enjoyed some lite refreshments, the business meeting continued and Fr. Duffy later commented on how far –reaching the arms of the club stretch. As Fr. Duffy will be re-locating soon, members agreed he will be sorely missed.

Once again, “Top o’ the Morning” and “O Danny Boy” certainly abounded when members of the WCF and St. Kilian’s Choir brought smiles and the “lilt of Irish” voices to the seniors at the Farmingdale Adult Day Care Center. These beautiful voices have been performing all year long for these seniors and those in local nursing homes.
