Give Us Nice Tiaras And We Can Save the World!

This blog is dedicated to Mrs. Gayle, who was a founding Cobb WC member and a member of the Town & Country Juniors.  She lost her battle with cancer the same weekend of the GaFWC State Convention.  At her 65th birthday party she was given a couple of tiaras, which she just absolutlely loved.  At her funeral her family had given us a bookmark with Gayle’s final thoughts for us.  Up at the top her daughter in law had stamped and glittered a tiara.

We had been trying to set up a special membership event to celebrate our members who have been with us over 25 years but it did not happen in time while Gayle was feeling well.  At our May meeting though,  our First VP/Membership Chairman bestowed the GFWC 25 year pins to the ladies who have been with Federation atleast 25 years – I think most have been a great deal more years. 

We decided one last thing would be fitting – We bought mini tiaras and presented them to each of the 25 year members and then to each of the members of the club.  We wanted to cherish and honor Gayle’s memory.  I had seen this quote “Give me a nice tiara & I can save the world!” on some napkins and bought them to have in our room at convention.  I think it holds true to Gayle’s spirit as well.

We truly had a Steel Magnolias moment for us in the club.  I am hoping we can carry that through all year
