Announcements/Community Service Project

The spirit of Thanksgiving continues as we hive thanks for our health, our loved ones and, of course, the wonderful community we have created at the WCA! What better way to celebrate than to get together for a Member Monday and give back to others!

Please join us for a special activity for the patients of Albany Medical Center Pediatrics Ward, organized by the Membership Committee and the Community Service Committee.

We will put together craft kits for the kids. We are asking members to bring coloring books (size 8X10), boxed crayons and embroidery floss to November Member Monday to assemble two types of kits in individual plastic bags. One kit will include coloring books and crayons; the other will be friendship bracelet kits, with embroidery floss and directions provided.

Community Service members will get the kits to Albany Medical Center.

Porch, Accessibility Ramp Near Completion

The long-awaited front porch project is nearly done. The accessibility ramp is complete with safety railings installed.

The next step will be to “Light Up the Ramp.” Thanks to 33 generous donors who contributed $11,865, the Club has designated funds to finish the work. The Porch Committee and architect are researching appropriate lighting fixtures.

Stay tuned for further updates about when we can “Light Up the Ramp."
