The Bronxville Women's Club, Inc.

Our club members have many talents.  The public was cordially invited to meet two of our special members who have recently published books on Thursday, June 28, from 3 pm to 4 pm.  It was a delightful afternoon as club members and friends enjoyed a delicious Tea Table laden with delicacies and listened to both Alexandra and Jackie read excerpts from their books.

Alexandra M. Burckhardt's book, Navigate Life's Journey, was written "with the expressed purpose to encourage and inspire the readers on their life journeys."
