Wing-A-Thon Winners!
Of course Flynnie's Bar 3 would throw down a wing eating challenge, and why wouldn't Wings be the appropriate beneficiary? This event was a lot of fun, and we are very grateful to the Flynn family for being such generous and gracious hosts!
Thank you Flynnies Bar 3!

With big thank you's to Margy Abisla and Jessica Culley-Kozen whos terms on the board had come to an end. We thank them for all they did and the love and support they brought to our WFFF families! We also welcomed four new Board Members:

For September, we hosted a booth at the Falmouth Newcombers Club to raise community awareness. With our current focus being on community outreach and awareness; this was a perfect setting for Allison Deyo & Lisa Asendorf to educate our community about WFFF and even try and locate some volunteers. We have already begun a dedicated community outreach effort for 2018. This community outreach project is designed to reinvigorate the WFFF message for those that work with families that may need our help. Starting with the schools in our district, our community outreach team will review the WFFF mission, requirements and application process with school resources that will be identify families in need and recommend they reach out to us for help.
Thank you Falmouth Newcombers!

October had the Emergency Preparedness Fair at Gus Canty Recreation Center. This was a great networking event and further promoted our important mission. This was a family event hosted by the Falmouth Fire Department; a fun filled day with lots to do for the kids and amazing information for adults.
Thank you Falmouth Fire & Rescue!

St. Barnabas Church hosted the Alternative Gift Market in November. This was another fantastic networking event, as well as a helpful fundraiser! This yearly event is hosted by seven of your local churches and not only raised money for our families, but raised the awareness we strive for as well. The attendance at this event was amazing and we hope we are lucky enough to be chosen as a non-profit again for this year.
Thank you St. Barnabas Church!
