Women's Auxiliary

 
The FamèeThe Famèe Furlane Women's Auxiliary (FFWA) is one of the newer groups under the umbrella of the Famèe Furlane. This group is the result of an idea Elda Maraldo presented to the Famèe Furlane Board in the fall of 2005. Formally approved and Board sanctioned, this small but active group offers its support to the Famèe while having fun with activities that reinforce our Furlan traditions and maintain culture. At the same time, the group strives to stretch its horizons with guest speakers, regular book reviews, informative presentations and hands on workshops. FFWA volunteers offer assistance to the community, particularly at the Villa Leonard Gambin. Members fund raise through various excursions with funds generated used in support of the Famèe Furlane and its campus.

This group proudly presented the Famèe Furlane with its first ever gonfalone (banner), donated a much needed piece of exercise equipment to the VLG and has spearheaded the purchase of varied and sundry decorative items for the Famèe. Its celebration of International Women's Day is quickly joining the ranks of an annual signature event at the Club. Do you have a special talent you wish to share with the group? Please consider joining it as the members are always open to new ideas and ready to welcome like-minded individuals.
