The Moultonborough Women’s Club celebrated the Kentucky Derby with their own fundraising event. “About 60 men and women gathered for an evening of fun and dressing in ‘Derby Fashion.’ Some of the activities included scratch tickets, basket raffles and corn hole! All money raised benefited the Moultonborough Scholarship Fund. In addition, a delicious dinner was served,” said Kimberly Ziegele.

Kentucky Derby Fundraiser

“Wear your PINK” was the call out from Deb Kumpf and Nancy McDonough as the Moultonborough Woman’s Club team gathered on a warm October afternoon for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. Sixteen walkers collected over $7,200 in donations last month for the American Cancer Society, making this ambitious group the 7th highest fundraising team in all New Hampshire for this year. Over the last 25 years, club members have raised over $148,000 for this worthy cause. Thank you to Nancy and Deb for your dedication to this worthy cause and to this year’s walkers GO PINK! <figure id="figure-osn8asjbgalthdw0bf"><img id="osn8asjbgalthdw0bf" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/14HttFg4s1q4iuFphhDQKPQMNTUxeumTKZxjHKgOG7BRbem97YW3s4xXHJmob2r1.jpg" alt="female dj making music in a night club party, dancing in front of dj set" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="Nancy McDonough, Anne Marie Bedford, Tracy Webster-Babcock, Jane Harrington, Elaine Rider, Mary Dominguez, Deb Wiacek, Christine Wright, Amy Corston, Sharon Paton, Cindy Bergeron, Diane Schneider, Trish Conley, Paula Young, (front) Donna Robillard, Deb Kumpf and Macy" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/14HttFg4s1q4iuFphhDQKPQMNTUxeumTKZxjHKgOG7BRbem97YW3s4xXHJmob2r1.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Nancy McDonough, Anne Marie Bedford, Tracy Webster-Babcock, Jane Harrington, Elaine Rider, Mary Dominguez, Deb Wiacek, Christine Wright, Amy Corston, Sharon Paton, Cindy Bergeron, Diane Schneider, Trish Conley, Paula Young, (front) Donna Robillard, Deb Kumpf and Macy</figcaption></figure>

The Moultonborough Women’s Club has named Janet Schurko the recipient of the 2021 Woman of the Year Award. Her sweet spirit and compassion has led her to devote her time and efforts to serving others in various capacities for the community. She has been a valuable asset as chair of the Remembrance Committee and has spread her kindness to club members, nursing home residents, Meals on Wheels homebound recipients and at the local veteran’s home with notes, home made cards and messages of comfort and encouragement. &nbsp; Christmas time has seen Janet managing the club’s holiday gift projects for area children and she has led a team in making ornaments for the club’s beautifully decorated contribution to Altrusa’s Festival of Trees events. Janet organizes a talented group of knitters and crocheters for the Meredith Savings Bank’s Mitten Tree project, herself knitting many hats, scarves and mittens. Thank you Janet, for your devotion to others and service to the Moultonborough Women’s Club. &nbsp; Janet Schuko with Amy Corston, Director<figure id="figure-aug1nuxrpmglthdpj71"><img id="aug1nuxrpmglthdpj71" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1aq5Ed22htexqra5ogCgGSRko6xvK0zyd5cpH5rx4NsqyMlI3PZr2ZPmGmmlrNF8.jpg" alt="fitness group" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 3/2; object-position: 50% 35%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="3:2" data-caption="" data-positionX="50%" data-positionY="35%" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure>

The halls were truly decked in holiday greenery as the members of the Moultonborough Women’s Club brought their voices together in harmony to sing Deck the Halls and other merry carols as Deb Kumpf led a singalong at the December meeting.
