The Cutler Ridge Woman’s Club (CRWC), which was founded in 1956 and is one of the oldest organizations in continuous operation in Cutler Bay, is actively working to help people in the community by participating in several projects. One of these involves a concern about the environment.
The CRWC Environmental Committee was recently was awarded a commemorative tree planting certificate for nature by the Arbor Day Foundation, according to Jeinan Tong-Noon, who lives with many of her friends and co-workers, the East Ridge at Cutler Bay retirement community.
“The Cutler Ridge Woman’s Club’s Environmental Committee has been working on a two-year tree planting project headed by our General Federation Women’s Club of Florida (GFWC FL),” Tong-Noon said. “The club donated 10 more trees in April, bringing club contributions to 132 of which 22 were planted and 110 were donated.”
Members of the Environmental Committee, chaired by Ann Biegen, are Dolores Dimitriou, Linda Wood, Hazel Bethel and Valarie Rodriguez.
The Arbor Day Foundation is a global nonprofit “inspiring people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees.” Along with its network, members have planted more than a half billion trees, focusing on areas where they can have the greatest impact on climate, communities and biodiversity.
Arbor Day this year was celebrated on Friday, Apr. 18. To learn more about the organization visit www.arborday.org/.
One of the club’s other projects, something they do every year to show support for the Cutler Bay Police Department, is to provide 40 teddy bears that had been bought by CRWC members. Officers carry a few of the cuddly toys in the trunks of their patrol cars so when they respond to incidents where small children are involved, the teddy bears can be given to the youngsters to help comfort them at difficult moments.
