The Bloomingdale Neighborhood Association said goodbye last week to longtime board member Bobbi Ferraro, who is preparing to move from the Bloomingdale community.
Ferraro has been a consistent cheerleader and advocate for the association’s work, lending her voice, energy and support to numerous community projects. Her impact was especially felt during the annual Bloomingdale Clean Up, where her advocacy helped increase donations and strengthen community buy-in for the event.
“Bobbi has been such a positive force on this board,” said Suzy Watts, president of the Bloomingdale Neighborhood Association. “I’m genuinely happy for her as she starts this new adventure, but I’m sad for us. She will be deeply missed.”
Ferraro’s final board meeting took place on Tuesday, marking the end of a chapter for both her and the association she has helped shape.
The Bloomingdale Neighborhood Association thanks Bobbi Ferraro for her dedication, leadership and belief in the power of community—and wishes her nothing but the best in what comes next.
