🐾 𝑶𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝑴𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒑 💙💛

The Blair Woman’s Club welcomed some very special guests at our recent October general meeting! We had the wonderful opportunity to meet K9 Riggs, a two-year-old Czech Shepherd specially trained in narcotics searches and tracking. Officer Herzer of the Blairstown Township Police Department gave us an informative and interesting presentation, including a demonstration where Riggs searched the room for scented cotton balls that had been hidden for him. It was fascinating to see him put his training to work! Thank you, Officer Herzer, for taking the time to visit!

Our members also came together to make a difference through two special outreach projects:

🥫 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲: Members donated nonperishable food items to benefit the Evangelical Free Church of Blairstown Food Pantry.

🎄 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: Members collected donations and assembled 20 holiday stockings, which were delivered to the NJ State Federation of Women's Clubs of GFWC headquarters in New Brunswick. The stockings will be distributed through Operation Jersey Cares, a volunteer organization dedicated to supporting our troops serving overseas and helping wounded Soldiers and Marines as they return home.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who donated, contributed, and helped make these projects possible and a note of thanks to First Presbyterian Church of Blairstown, NJ for allowing us to utilize their Fellowship Hall! It's amazing what we can accomplish when we work together.

The Blair Woman's Club is collecting donations for Operation Holiday Stocking! These stockings will go to Operation Jersey Cares which is a New Jersey-based nonprofit dedicated to supporting deployed service members, veterans, and military families through care packages, community engagement, and volunteer-driven initiatives. The NJ State Federation of Women's Clubs of GFWC has prepared and sent stockings for more than a decade!

Please see page 2 of the attachment for items requested to stuff the stockings. These items can be brought to our Oct. 20 general meeting at First Presbyterian Church of Blairstown, NJ. We will begin to stuff the stockings following the meeting.

Monetary donations accepted as well to go towards additional stocking donations. Stocking donations and/or monetary contributions may also be dropped off at the Outreach Center at 35 Main St., next door to the Blairstown post office, Tues-Fri. Please be sure to label the items "BWC" or leave with Church administrator, Jen (or email [email protected]). Thanks, in advance, for your support!

Welcome October! 🎃🍁 The leaves are falling and will be colorful soon!

We enjoyed seeing so many of you celebrating another year with us at our Fall Luncheon at Brook Hollow Winery & Event Facility! There was plenty of good food and fellowship. We hope everyone got an opportunity to meet our new VP of the Highlands’ District, Joan Garbarino, and our guest Susannah Rich, our local poet!

During the business portion of our luncheon, we voted to participate in the Operation Holiday Stocking 2026 event — the stockings will go to Operation Jersey Cares! Please bring items requested to stuff the stockings to our Oct. 20th meeting. We have 20 stockings, and we will stuff them following the meeting. Monetary donations to cover the shipping of the stockings are covered by our budget; however, if you would rather donate than purchase items for the stockings, we can shop for additional items the following day with any donations.

🌸 Blair Woman's Club – June General Meeting & Picnic 🌸

Blair Woman's Club members gathered under the pavilion at Footbridge Park for our June General Meeting and annual picnic. Members enjoyed a delicious potluck luncheon, great fellowship, and the beautiful weather. ☀️🧺

We were delighted to welcome North Warren Regional High School students Nex Goetz (HOBY) and Kaydence Iwanicki (Girls Career Institute), who shared how these outstanding leadership programs have helped them grow as leaders and make lasting friendships.

We also welcomed back last year's HOBY recipient, Jack Wenner, who now serves as Chapter President of 𝑳𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒍𝒆, a service organization he discovered through HOBY. Jack shared the chapter's accomplishments over the past year and the positive impact it continues to make throughout our community.

Members also signed up for committees for the 2026–2027 club year and our upcoming 100-year celebration! We look forward to another year of service, friendship, and making a difference in our community.

This was our final scheduled general meeting before our summer break. We wish everyone a safe, happy, and relaxing summer, and we look forward to seeing everyone in the fall! 💙💛

The Blair Woman's Club gathered in the Fellowship Hall at First Presbyterian Church in Blairstown for our May General Meeting and Spring Tea. Members enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of fellowship, delicious refreshments, and a fun teacup craft while celebrating the joy of friendship and service.

As part of our commitment to serving our community, members collected food pantry donations that were delivered to St. John's United Methodist Church in Hope, NJ.

Our Service Project benefited Veterans Haven North in Glen Gardner, NJ, as members donated Twin XL bedding items from the facility's wish list. Following the meeting, we also partnered with Key to Kindness- helping locally to help expand this collection to support even more veterans at VHN.

💙 Every act of kindness makes a difference.

What we do together matters!
