You Might Be A Federated Woman…

My mother and I were on the way to see her sister, when we came up with these.  It was a way of taking our mind off the fact her sister was dying – but I hope you will like these as much we laughed about them and someone can add to my list.  I know I am guilty of these.

You might be a federated woman… Super Federated are in bold.

If you know the exact number of shopping opportuities from your house to the location of state convention

You are super federated – if you can stop at each one and make a purchase and NOT be late to the first official meeting.

If you ever spray painted an object gold or silver and used it as a trophy.

If you have ever said “Give me a hot glue gun, paint and wood and I can MAKE anything.”

If you are always looking to copy tablescapes for centerpiece ideas for district and state functions.

If you have ever said “No – is not in my vocabulary”

If you have ever had an intervention because you volunteer too much.

If your husband has  federation functions dates committed to memory and knows exactly where you are headed be it club, district or state level activities.

You have ever determined the exact number of ways chicken and green beans can be served at a state or district function.

You are on the constant lookout for gifts that remind you of current or past president’s symbols to buy.

You are super, if you have ever bought items for FUTURE president’s symbols.

If you have ever BEDAZZLED something for presentation at a state function

I would love to see others – I know we could have a million of these.  I need someone artistic to draw a GFWC super heroine (sp?)

Hope you LOL

As I come up with these – I will keep adding.

If your dining room table doubles as command central for months on end.

You figure out how to make your club project super by incorporating your company and take it up a notch ( in the words of Emeril “BAM!”

Your coworkers and friends have ever refferred to you as the wikipedia of charities (had that happen)

If you keep a notebook around you so when you think of  good project – you write it down, so you will not forget.

Patty, this slayed me! I’d love to see what other clubwomen would add. And a lot of these apply to GFWC staff, too!

Patty –

Thanks for sharing – these are ringing quite true. I’m sure I could come up with a few more to add. This would be a great idea for a club, district or state meeting – to develop the list of ‘You might be a federated clubwoman…’ Move over Jeff Foxworthy…
