Woman’s Club of Ramsey: Making a Difference, One Project at a Time.
We’re friends who work together to better our community and the world.
Be part of our team — you don’t have to live in Ramsey to join the Club!
We keep busy throughout the year …
We support our community. We’re active women of all ages with diverse life experiences — homemakers, businesswomen, teachers, nurses, executives and retirees — who combine our skills to provide community service when and where it is needed. For more than a century, Woman’s Club of Ramsey has helped Ramsey maintain its library, fire department, ambulance corps, parks and schools.
We meet new friends. Our circle of friends grows as we share our talents with women with similar interests and goals. We’re proud that we helped make Ramsey a wonderful place to live, and we’re grateful that lending a hand to people in need enriches our own lives.
We enjoy monthly meetings. Our meetings aren’t just planning sessions — we enjoy coffee and conversation, learn arts and crafts, and listen to experts talk about art, gardening, local history and other interesting topics. Visit the Ramsey Senior Center at 1 pm on the third Thursday of the month to get acquainted with the Club.
We fill our social calendar. We enjoy holiday parties and summer picnics, gather for luncheons and potluck meals, and celebrate new members at our May installation luncheon.
We’re proud of our achievements. We develop leadership skills and discover new paths toward self-enrichment. Personal growth is fostered at an Achievement Day luncheon recognizing outstanding creative work — handicrafts, baking, photography, art, and more. Performing Arts Day gives everyone a chance to take center stage. And, at the annual convention of the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs, we celebrate the power of women working together, one project at a time, to make a difference in their towns and in the world.
Here’s the latest news …
Stop by the Strawberry Festival at the Farmers’ Market on Sunday, June 7, where we’ll be serving strawberry shortcake and selling our Flower Power crafts — colorful paper flowers, floral shadowboxes, plant markers, necklaces and wine gift tags. As always, your donations help local charities.
We’re welcoming newcomers to Ramsey at the June 5 New Resident Mixer at the Municipal Pool. We’re proud of Ramsey Council member Sara Poppe-Fisher, a Club member, who organizes the event — it’s a great opportunity for newcomers to meet all the groups that make Ramsey a wonderful place to live.
Our 26th annual Heirloom Tomato & Veggie Plant Sale was a huge success! A big thank you to everyone who came to the Masonic Lodge parking lot to select their favorite plants and jump-start their gardens.
Spring has finally arrived, and we’re enjoying Lunch Bunch outings and working on new programs for our monthly meetings. Visit us at 1 pm on the third Thursday of the month at the Ramsey Senior Center to see what we’re up to!
Our November Flower Power display at the Ramsey Library brought holiday sales of shadowboxes to help support local organizations. Fun fact: When the library was built, the lobby display cases were donated by the Woman’s Club.
We’re proud of Lana Roytshsteyn, our Ramsey Volunteer of the Year. Lana runs our Heirloom Tomato Plant and Vegetable sale, worked tirelessly at our garage sale, and dished out yummy treats at our Farmers’ Market fundraisers — she is unfailingly cheerful and ready to help everyone.
A big thank-you to everyone who bought Flower Power Crafts at our Ramsey Day booth! We sold paper flowers, flower necklaces, shadowboxes, plant markers, keychains, and earrings to raise funds for our projects. You’ll find the full line of crafts on our Flower Power page.
Keep bringing food to the St. Paul’s Food Pantry! Take donations of shelf-stable items directly to the Food Pantry bins behind St. Paul’s Church near Mary’s Cottage. This month we’re asked to give baby products — diapers, Parmalat, baby wipes — but all donations are welcome! Supermarket gift cards can be delivered to the Parish Center or dropped off at the Pantry on Saturdays from 4-5 pm and Sundays from 11am-noon.
The door to the Club is always open — let’s get to know each other.
