Adele Valerie DeFonzo

Amherst resident of 35 years. Social Worker.

“I was thinking of a fall outfit, so the shoes are copper colored, I got them at TJ Maxx about 10 years ago. I like to look professional. I work in a nursing home and I think it brings dignity to the job. It drives me crazy when people come in with torn jeans!”

Carol Biaggi

Attending events at the club for the last 10 years. Retired speech and language pathologist.

“I look forward to the Fall because you can wear long sleeves! This blouse is great because if you spill any food on it, it blends in!”

Elaine Mange

Moved to Amherst in 1964. Attracted by the talks at the Women’s Club, formerly very active in the League of Women Voters.

“I must confess that I’m not really into style. I was astounded that you picked me. I bought this blouse decades ago, I checked the temperature this morning and it was supposed to be in the 80s so this is light, but with Fall colors.”
