Year End Donation Form

Oh, what a year it has been!

We began 2021 in the throws of COVID, continuing to wear masks, isolating, and searching for COVID vaccine appointments. The board proceeded cautiously, but creatively, into unknown territory.

Our Connection Series continued with presentations and opportunities to see each other via Zoom. We watched The Archivettes, a documentary about the Lesbian Herstory Archives, with producer and director Megan Rossman who joined us to discuss the film. She offered to work on a documentary that celebrates North Fork Women’s thirty-year history. Can you believe it – NFWFWF, alive and well after 30 years?

As spring arrived, we ventured outside to socially distant, mask wearing activities. We cleaned up Southold Town Beach and reunited at McCabe’s Beach for our Pride Party. It was a bring-your-own-everything (chair, breakfast, coffee, etc), but it was our first gathering since COVID hit in March 2020.

Finally, with COVID numbers down and vaccinations easier to obtain, we moved to resume our live events this summer. The Annual Labor Day Benefit and the Oyster Extravaganza! were both extremely successful in spite of the masking and vaccination restrictions we enacted to keep members safe.

During 2021 we helped members get the COVID vaccine, continued our HelpHer program, awarded over $12,000 in grants to date (over $366,000 in our 30-year history) and provided Life Lines for North Fork Women members.
