Community Service Club of New Fairfield
Presents Women's Center with Donation
The Community Service Club of New Fairfield presented a $4,552.88 check to The Women's Center after a very successful "Laughing for Lisa" Comedy Night fundraiser at the Palace Theater in Danbury this May.
Lisa Muller, who had been a staunch supporter of The Women's Center and had for years co-chaired fundraising events on our behalf, lost her battle with cancer a year ago. The "Laughing for Lisa" Comedy Night was a dual fundraiser for both the Lisa B. Muller Memorial Foundation and The Women's Center.
