Susan Meyerson, president of the Babylon Village Women's Club, hosted a Park Lane Jewelry Party in December where the profits of $202.50 were donated to the Christ of Cross Church on Deer Park Avenue in Babylon for the food pantry. Carol Benedetto was the Park Lane representative and donated her profits to the fundraiser.

This food pantry and 3 others all received $500 each from money raised from the BVWC's holiday auction in November. Other donations will be made in February to other Babylon charities.

Also in October, Courtney Biondo hosted an Arbonne Party where the profits of $200 were given to the the United Methodist Church on James Street and Deer Park Avenue, Babylon. Roxanne Paquette was the Arbonne representative who added to the cause by donating her profits from the evening to this good cause.
