Babylon Village Women's Club Throws Auction Bash

Close to 100 Babylon area women attended a longtime village tradition: the Babylon Village Women's Club annual fundraiser and Chinese auction. The group, established in the early 1990s holds the holiday fundraiser to help support the rest of the year's charitable community work, including a scholarship fund and food pantry donations.

Many Babylon merchants donated gifts for the raffle auction, and a silent auction saw bidding on some in demand prizes, like a year's membership to Babylon Village gym Fitness Incentive. Spas, salons, retailers, and restaurants also contributed to the night's offerings.

Members and friends enjoyed dinner, dancing, and drinks at the recent Venetian Yacht Club event. The theme of the night was "The Art of a Woman," with a member photography contest designed to challenge the women to find new talents and skills.

Kim Rose Berry, one of the original club founders, spoke about what she saw as the group's role in Babylon: "We wanted to show what a group of women could do, when we get together, in our community."
