Community Outreach News

April 1, 2020 by Cameron Barrett Leave a Comment

Community Action

The Club has begun a new Community Action Initiative in an effort to get our members to be more actively involved in our communities. We have seen some remarkable results so far, as we held our second annual Halloween Costume Portraits for Charity, where member and professional photographer, Michael Stahl, took photos of kids in costumes. In exchange for a bag of groceries, or a coat, children in costume got to have their portrait taken and the proceeds went to Toni’s Kitchen, Human Needs Food Pantry and the Montclair Salvation Army. The response was so great that each charity received over twenty bags of groceries and over 100 coats were delivered to the Salvation Army. Recently, we had another coat drive that ended on New Year’s Day and resulted in the collection of close to two hundred badly needed coats to the Salvation Army. In addition to Toni’s and Human Needs, the Club also supports local organizations like Montclair Ambulance Unit, Laptop Upcycle, Montclair Salvation Army and the Montclair Fund for Educational Excellence.

Look for more opportunities to get involved as we roll out this program over the next couple of months.

Culinary Destination!

Thanks to a growing number of talented kitchen jockeys, the Commonwealth Club is fast becoming known for our mouthwatering culinary-based events. From the Italian Sunday Dinner in January, we move to the Super Bowl Party in February, the always spicy Cajun Night in March/April, our own self-catered grilled steak extravaganza for the Annual Club Dinner in June, and in October, we hold our annual outdoor BBQ Fest. Bon Appetit!

Another Parade, Another First Place

The Commonwealth Club continued its dominance of the 2019 Montclair July 4th Parade(the 2020 parade was not held) with yet another first place prize for our hippy school bus float, created as an homage to the 50th anniversary of Woodstock. Kudos to the designers, builders and parade participants!

The Woodstock Experience

The Woodstock Experience

The Club, inspired by the unwavering vision of Gimi Guistina, held a rare summer party this August, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival. Three live bands alternated energetic sets, there was, as always, an abundance of self-catered gourmet food, as well as some deadly custom cocktails for the occasion. Almost 200 revelers came out for the latter day celebration of peace, love and understanding.
