In the interest of serving the Farmingdale community, the Women’s Club of Farmingdale is always looking for new and interesting ways to fundraise. One of the club’s newest members, Nancy Carman, had the perfect solution for a beautiful summer night—Night at the Movies. The rain ended early; the outdoor canopies went up; the popcorn, candy and soft drink trays came out and guests paid a minimal entrance fee which included the snacks and several raffle tickets.

Amidst Carman’s beautiful flower beds and vegetable garden, the ladies enjoyed watching Calendar Girls on a large outdoor screen. Many thanks to Carman, husband Jim and son John, for setting up the movie screen and speakers and making sure everything was working properly. Club President Tina Diamond and Ways & Means Committee Chair Vicky Impollonia and her committee prepared the snack tracks and soft drinks and made sure guests enjoyed a variety of desserts. And, of course, the raffles were a big hit.

July was a busy month with members donating to St. Kilian’s Outreach Program (SKOP). Groceries and household goods, including food, canned goods, toiletries, accessories and baby goods were collected to keep the shelves fully stocked during the critical summer months. At this time of year, SKOP is very much in need of a boost to their pantry and the club was able to fill and donate 26 bags.

The Welfare Committee, chaired by Rosemary Emigholz, also brought a basket of goodies to Farmingdale’s Epic House to the delight of the residents residing there. And members’ lyrical voices could be heard singing and entertaining members at the Farmingdale Adult Day Care Center with patriotic melodies.
