Members of Rockville Centre’s Homemakers Club will gather on May 22 for their annual Achievement Day, to celebrate their 50th year of weekly meetings at the Recreation Center and 90 years as a chapter of the Homemakers Organization.
A non-profit organization that goes above and beyond to help local groups, Homemakers in the village have assisted food pantries and victims of domestic abuse. They have crocheted hats for premies in local hospitals, shawls and lap robes for cancer patients, and help veterans by collecting manufacturers’ coupons. This year they collected nearly $75,000 of coupons that have been donated to veterans’ families.
This group of exceptionally talented women meet each Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. (when school is in session) to pass their knowledge of cooking, sewing, knitting and additional crafts to other members. The talents and experience that these women possess and are willing to impart, make for an excellent opportunity for all generations to share.
Joseph Scarola of Rockville Centre’s American Legion Post 303 and members of its Women’s Auxiliary will join in the May 22 festivities, and will receive socks that the Homemakers have rolled and tagged with good wishes for veterans, which Scarola will bring to the V.A. Hospital in Northport.
To join, or for more information about Rockville Centre’s Homemakers, contact Karen Alterson at (516) 318-6771.
