On Wed May 13, 2026, the Golden Gems meeting was held before its usual break until fall. Before the meeting, members gathered at St. Stanislaus Church and held a May Crowning ceremony where Fr Safranek held Mass following the May Crowning.
Back at the hall, the gathering was attended by 40 members who enjoyed food from Eddie’s Catering with donuts and other desserts, many of which were provided by Dunkin Donuts.
Besides the usual Calcutta and door prizes, the spring raffle drawing for eight gift baskets was held prior to eating the delicious food and desserts.
A new two-year term Board of Directors was nominated and approved at this gathering: President Ann Marie Kudlacz, Vice President Carol Wierzbicki, Secretary Joan Wrobleski, Treasurer Jeff Messinne. Their term will run from Sep 2026-May 2028. The Gems members gave a warm applause to the outgoing Board of Directors for the hard work they performed for the past two years. Thank you and God bless: Diane Rochford, Mary Beth Kaup, Elaine Noonan and Sharon Balis.
Come join the Golden Gems when the gatherings resume in September 2026.
