The WCA Home participated in Fredonia History Days. On Saturday July 20, we had an informational table in the history tent in Barker Commons. We are so proud of our history and being a part of such a great community for over 120 years! Aaron Smith assembled a beautiful display that really showcased the beauty and longevity of The WCA Home. We had many people stop by the table and share their memories of The WCA Home. It was a fun day!

New officers and members announced for WCA Home
At its annual meeting in June, the WCA Home Board of Directors elected new officers and five new members. Barb Servatius of Fredonia was elected president for her seventh year. She has been a member of the board for 22 years.
Other new officers elected were Christine Davis Mantai of Fredonia as Vice President, and Karen Davis of Fredonia as Treasurer. Re-elected as secretary was Rosemary Mancuso of Fredonia.
New members joining the board are Paula Warren of Dunkirk, Marjorie Plaister of Fredonia, Chuck Notaro of Fredonia, Kim Pacos of Fredonia, and Treasurer Davis.
The returning members of the board are Terry Clifton of Dunkirk, Joan Glenzer of Fredonia, and Sharon Perdue of Dunkirk.
The board has been continuously in existence since 1893, when the home was founded.
The home was established when the Fredonia, N.Y., chapter of the Women’s Christian Association (no longer in existence) purchased the Aaron O. Putnam House at 134 Temple Street to provide a home for elderly ladies. Operating since then as the WCA Home, non-profit facility is licensed by New York State as a limited home care agency and assisted living program.
The home has private rooms for 37 women residents, who are served by a staff of 35. For information on residency, visit the website at www.wcahome.org.
Some of the ladies went to the first concert in the Park at Fredonia’s Barker Commons. They had a great time listening to the band!
