The original Baranello Women's Auxiliary began in 1945.
In 1979 it was failing to attract new membership. Maria DiNardo, the youngest member, was disappointed with the way the old auxiliary was progressing. She made several attempts to meet with the founding members and restructure the auxiliary. Unfortunately, the older members would not co-operate.
The Baranello Women's Jr. Auxiliary was started in 1983 by founder, Maria DiNardo. It's purpose was to promote the traditions, culture, and ideals of our ancestrial town of Baranello, Italy.
Members are females at least 16 years of age who were born in Baranello, Italy or have roots from Baranello through parents, husbands or relatives.
The Auxiliary is a family oriented club that promotes several fun filled activities throughout the year such as : Family picnics, Clambake, Halloween Party, Anniversary Dinner, and Christmas Party. An occasional trip tour is organized as well.
We meet approximately once a month for discussions on upcoming events and business at hand.
