(October 2019) The Encores Club of Doylestown recently presented a check for $2,500.00 to the Neshaminy Manor Resident Welfare Fund, a fund that provides support to the Bucks County facility’s residents who may fall a little short with funds for their personal and living needs. The presentation was made to the facility’s Assistant Director of Recreation, Heather O’Donnell. The funds for the financial contribution were raised throughout the Fall of 2018 and Spring of 2019, during the club’s luncheon events. The proceeds came from raffled items that are donated by local businesses or the group’s members. Annually the group donates these funds to a different charity.
