     On Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 7:45 a.m. during the regular monthly breakfast meeting of the Goshen Chamber of Commerece, several BPW members gathered together at the Rhinebeck Room of the Glen Arden Retirement Community located at 214 Harriman Drive in Goshen, NY to be presented with an award of appreciation from the Goshen Lion's Club.
     During the calendar year of 2010 the Goshen Lion's Club organized a project to help stock the Goshen Food Pantry. Local clubs and organizations were asked to donate to the Food Pantry on a monthly basis. The ladies of BPW responded to this request and donated over 400 items. Susan Fast, Goshen Lion's Club represenative for this project, congratulated each organization for their efforts and presented participents with a certificate of appreciation for a job well done.
     The Ladies of BPW would like to say "Thank You" to the Lion's Club for organizing such a wonderful project.

And the winner is.......

           BPW's Apple I-Pad raffle was a great success. Just ask Amanda Lynch of Middletown. She was the lucky winner of a 32GB storage, Wi-Fi enabled, 3G capable Apple I-Pad.
Tickets were sold for one dollar each and purchasers were hoping for and dreaming of the much coveted prize. Members sold ticket for the raffle in the weeks leading up to the Goshen Great American week-end and sales continued to be brisk at the BPW tent on Saturday afternoon in anticipation of the Sunday 3pm drawing. Men, women, and children came to the BPW display. The women left with BPW information and everyone left with high hopes. Thank you to all who purchased tickets, we're sorry you didn't win, but you have helped a good group in their efforts to do good works in the Goshen area. Our fund raising goal was met and we thank you.

Pictured below is the proud winner Amanda Lynch (right) and her friend, Clarinda Lain. Amanda wanted to say "Thank you" to Christine Gurda, (not pictured) who purchased the ticket for Amanda as a congratulation present for Amanda recently graduating from John S. Burke Catholic High School. She was over the top thrilled.
