Time: 7:00 to 11:00 p.m.
Cost: $20.00 per person
Location: Lambertville Elks, 66 Wilson Street, Lambertville, NJ
The women of The Kalmia Club are holding their spring fundraiser on Saturday evening April 21 from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. at the Lambertville Elks at 66 Wilson Street. This is second year the two service organizations have worked together. Last year’s special scholarship fundraiser in honor of Elks member Tina Ledger was a memorable evening befitting the memory of a young woman who exemplified all that is good in the community of Lambertville. This year’s April 21 evening fundraiser should prove to be as enjoyable.
The pasta meal complete with salad and bread will be served piping hot from the kitchen of the Elks. The Kalmia women promise a table of toothsome desserts. The cash bar will be staffed by the veteran bartenders of the Elks.
After dinner plenty of time for dancing and conversation is assured. Once again, Lambertville’s band The Inflexables with special guest J. B. Kline will perform. These area musicians are always so supportive of the community’s service organizations and are greatly appreciated. The event chair Fran Bardusco and her committee members will be strolling about selling those 50/50 raffle tickets individually and in those very long sleeves!
The historic club located and maintained by the members at 39 York Street, now in its 120th plus year providing the area's women with opportunities for service, the arts and culture, has a long record of providing scholarships and other aid to school programs as well as funding to many area programs and charities. It is an honor to work with the Lambertville Elks, too a part of the city's rich history, once again. Since 1897, The Kalmia Club has been a member of the N.J. State Federation of Women's Clubs and the national General Federation of Women's Clubs. Kalmia's century-old clubhouse is on the N.J. Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places.
