West Albany Italian Benevolent Society

 

WAIBS Ladies Auxiliary

On April 8th, 1989, the Women’s Auxiliary held its first formal meeting, thus declaring to be a sisterhood to the West Albany Italian Benevolent Society headquartered in West Albany, New York.

The founding charter members were established to support the brotherhood socially and act as a social organization for the members of the Auxiliary. Social events held during the year are bocce leagues and tournaments, dart leagues, dinner parties, a fashion show, a Memorial Day remembrance march, a pancake breakfast, outdoor picnics, participation in the Columbus Day Parade, a turkey raffle, and a Society and Auxiliary children’s Christmas party.

The Women’s Auxiliary is a not-for-profit organization that also holds fund raising events to support charities within our community. Every year, an auction is held as a fundraiser with distributions made within the community. Donations are collected at Thanksgiving and Christmas and distributed as well.

The Auxiliary began with a small group of charter members and has grown to 130 members. The officers are: President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary. There is also a Sergeant-at-Arms and a Chaplain. It is composed of women who have relatives that are members of the Society, either deceased or present.
