On Wednesday, October
25, 2006, nineteen hungry, seafood craving "Romeo" men traveled 35
miles to "Woody's Crab House" a Northeast, Maryland icon restaurant.
After consuming an abundance of seafood, soups, salads and humongous
deserts, most of us walked it off by touring through this small
hamlet which abuts the Maryland watershed. Thanks to Gerry Murphy,
who set up this trip, a great time was had by all as can be seen in
the above picture.

| FHF
Women's Group - Jane Rupp,
Chair We aim
for a 50-50 balance of fun activities and philanthropic endeavors.
Add in the all-round camaraderie and you have the makings of a
heartwarming experience.
For the 2011-12
season, we plan to have meetings every-other-month ~ sometimes
featuring an interesting speaker ~ or a bit of frivolity – plus
dessert and chit-chat. We’ll sponsor charitable collections for
Back-to-School Supplies and Thanksgiving turkeys & non-perishables.
We purchase Christmas gifts for about 30 underprivileged kids and
supermarket gift certificates for their working-poor families. Six
times a year, volunteers prepare a hot lunch for 75-80 needy folks
at St. Agnes Day Room. We sponsor a monthly collection of
gently-used clothing. Each spring we have a different “drive” to
benefit our principal charity, the St. Agnes Day Room in West
Chester, PA. In May, 2011, our project was to help restock the food
pantry – collecting 23 cartons and 14 shopping bags of
non-perishable food – which were delivered, along with a financial
donation, to help with additional purchases. In August, we
collected gently-used kitchen and household items for the Day Room –
to be distributed among the working-poor folks who come to them for
assistance.
On the ‘fun’ side,
we run the Casual Cocktail Parties at the Clubhouse (all residents
welcome), monthly Out-to-Lunches at interesting restaurants, an
occasional Girlfriends’ Getaway Daytrip, and an annual Covered Dish
Supper. (The 2011 Supper will have an added attraction. A local,
well-respected dealer will offer cash for broken and unwanted
jewelry; i.e., gold chains, etc.). This year, we joined the ROMEO’s
in sponsoring a trip for 60 FHF men & women to see the Wilmington
Blue Rocks play baseball (from our private box). Our season-opener
each August is a Back-to-School Indoor Picnic Luncheon, and in 2011
a fashion show by Coldwater Creek was an added attraction – with the
five models being members of our group. Everyone attending is asked
to bring school supplies to be donated locally – and we ended up
with 103 attendees and 31 cartons of school supplies.
We’re always open
to suggestions for something “new to do” – and all FHF women are
welcome to participate. Hopefully, we’ll see you soon.
