To all Women's Club of Flower Hill Members, past, present and future, it's hard to believe it's that time of year again! For 75 years, the Women's Club of Flower Hill has been bringing neighbors together for friendship and philanthropy. We thank you for your support and we are looking forward to another fabulous year ahead! |

Last year the Club celebrated its 75th Anniversary on June 12th with a Diamond Jubilee at Manhasset Bay Yacht Club. Women wore sparkling dresses and jewelry, joined by a Champagne-Glammed Diva serving Bellini's, a female Mentalist, and guest speaker Siri Daly, our very own WCFH member and resident. Anniversaries are the opportunities to remember and celebrate milestones from the past. Together we celebrated the Club’s strength since inception and another year of accomplishments. |

We had a successful year and hosted some amazing social and philanthropic events and and we definitely had “FUN while FUNdraising. Our social events included, our annual Christmas Luncheon, Light the Night in conjunction with the Christmas Tree & Menorah Lighting, a Halloween Movie Night for the kids, a Dumpling Making Workshop, a Charcuterie Event, a Flower Arranging Workshop, a Cinco de Mayo Ladies Night and an Easter Egg Hunt at Flower Hill Park. |

In addition to all the fun events that we enjoyed throughout the year we also gave back to the community by organizing a Holiday Gift Drive for a family in need, and a Socks, Hat and Gloves drive for the Homeless. Stuffed Plushies were collected and donated to the Fire Medics Co.#1 in Port Washington, to give out to children in need of Emergency Medical Services. WCFH donated approximately $11K to local and Childrens charities, of which $5,500 was raised and donated to the American Heart Association through our "Go Red" Fundraiser, chaired by our VP Deanna Durso, Board Member Karen Barnes and Club Member Angela Classi. |

We hosted a Charity Concert and raised $700 for Mr. Van Schenkoff, a Port Washington Resident and Manhasset Choir Teacher who suffered from ALS. The remaining was contributed to the Manhasset Women’s Coalition Against Breast Cancer, Manhasset CASA, PASE, Hearts PW, Tower Foundation, Science Museum of LI, Cancer Care of Port Washington, La Leche League, Spectrum Designs, One Love Outreach, Best Buddies LI, North Shore Family Guidance Center, and St. Vincent De Paul just to name a few! |
