I’m A Clubwoman

 
Last Wednesday, second graders poured out of buses full of energy and excitement. They walked quickly into the gym in single file lines, barely containing their enthusiasm. In the life of a second grader, there aren’t many school days better than FIELD TRIP days!!! These lucky kids were taking a walk through the body. They [...]

I have been working at a Department Store for the past 5 months.

I know we have all been hit hard these last 6 months and even before.  But I believe that change is just around the corner.  It will not be coming from a Democrat or Republican, nor President Obama nor US Senator or Congressman.  It is coming from God.  It is Spring – showing us that [...]

If there is anything that characterizes my local GFWC Pierian Club, it is the annually held, Texas Breakfast. The club has celebrated Texas Heritage since it was organized in 1908. This year the breakfast was held at the local Oldtimer’s Bunkhouse that is a rustic rock building that speaks volumes about cowboy heritage.

Our club membership is constantly growing in spite of the advanced age of many of our members. We really feel that having quality programs at the meetings is a big part of why ladies want to join with us. We have a good mix of educational and entertaining programs, usually giving the performer an hour after the business portion of the meeting. We begin our meetings at 1:00 and ask the entertainer to come at 2. At 3 we have the most incredible home made desserts and coffee or tea.

You all have the clubwoman who wants to do it all, but everything just gets in the way.  That has been me for the past 6 or so months.  I won’t go into the gory details about my daughter’s drama, holidays, etc.; but the latest problem has been illness.  Nothing major…just allergies, then the flu, [...]

It is National Women’s History Month.  I hope everyone celebrates the accomplishments made by the ladies of GFWC past and present. 
Two years ago, our club went and saw Respect – The Musical when it was in Atlanta.  LOVED IT!!!  It is based on a book from Vanderbilt professor, Dr. Dorothy Marcic which chronicled popular music [...]

I think I said I would share more ideas on the craft stuff that a group of us do.  So I amd sharing.  These are just a few.  Would love to hear other ideas for fun crafts

 
I don’t know about you, but I love a good makeover show. I don’t care if it is a bedroom makeover, a beauty makeover, a garden makeover, a car makeover, or anything else you can makeover. I love to see the before and after shots. I love the way the makeover transforms the lives of [...]

Three of our club members recently joined a book club that another member has been attending.  The book for March to read is “The Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls.  I was having a hard time reading the book.  It is a memoir concerning her childhood and the fact that her parents were not very responsible.  [...]

 
One of the most special things to me about the Bismarck Women’s Club are meeting the generations of women that have served our community. On Valentine’s Day, my mother-in-law Murna and I helped deliver cookies to the local shut-ins and elderly. This was a great way for someone like me, new to the club and [...]

We buried him on February 17th on his 79th birthday.
