The Wilton Newcomers Club recently donated $10,000 to the Friends of Ambler Farm. The club raised the money through two successful events during this past year: the sale of holiday ornaments featuring a hand-painted image of the Red Barn at Ambler Farm, and the art auction held at the Wilton Library in March. The donation will be used for educational programs for local schoolchildren and for new farm equipment, which will help the farm expand its agricultural capabilities.
This is the largest amount of money the Newcomers club has raised during any program year. Stephanie Mercado and Kelly Gervolino, WNC fund-raising chairs, organized both the ornament sale and the art auction this year.
Each year the club selects a local organization to benefit from its fund-raising efforts. The Wilton Newcomers Club is a nonprofit social organization that serves more than 200 families in town.
