Dolores Raimo
As a long-time resident of New York City, I taught for over thirty years in the New York City Public Schools. I am a graduate of Fordham University and have attained two post-graduate degrees in the field of Special Education of the Young Handicapped Child. For the last twenty-five years, I worked as a Learning Disabilities Specialist on the Elementary School level.

During my teaching career, I created many stories and daily exercises that would enable my students with learning disabilities to learn the tools and abilities to read, utilizing the skills and strengths that they had. I loved teaching!

I later resided in Westchester County and Litchfield County in Connecticut. While in upstate Connecticut, I participated in a writing group for over ten years and wrote many short stories. I also served as President of the Goshen Garden Club for over four years, and during that time, I sent out monthly newsletters to members and affiliate groups.

In 2024, after many years, I wrote and published a book of memoirs, A Bubble in Time. The book also includes over 25 short stories that I have written over the years.

As a member of the Executive Board of the Northwest CT. Community Foundation Women & Girls Fund, I served in several positions, including Annual Fundraiser Chairperson, Programs and Raffle Chairperson.

For the four years I have been a resident of Greenwich, Connecticut. Presently, I am on the Executive Board of The Woman’s Club of Greenwich, and serve as Program Chairperson.

I am an active member of the Riverside Garden Club, where. I am currently a member of the Program Committee.

I have three children and seven grandchildren. I have been writing short stories and poems for my grandchildren for the past 25 years. These stories are personal for each child and family, and I enjoy writing them.

I look forward to working with the Greenwich Pen Women to further develop my writing skills, as well as to be inspired by these very creative women.
