First of all, I have been a terrible blogger! It seems that with work, my service and social activities, getting adjusted to a new place and recovering from that broken finger earlier in the year, I just seem to not get things written and posted like I should. Not a good excuse, I know, but I will do my best to be a better blogger.

It hasn’t been too long since our chapter, Junior Woman’s Club of Columbia (SC), held our spring installation. It was an exciting time as a wonderful new board was installed. I am serving as Provisional Vice President and Education Department Chair for this year and I am so excited about those opportunities. As you read this, I am preparing for our summer membership social in August. This year it will be a JWC Columbia “Fiesta”!! One of our members owns a stationary shop and she graciously donated the cutest Fiesta themed invites! Now, I have to get them all addressed and mailed!

Last night I attended the District Meeting for GFWC-SC with three fellow board members and really good friends. We had a terrific time and by the end, all four of us had been elected to serve on a state committee…how exciting for us and our club! It was an informative evening and an all around good time with women from our district.

I love being a Clubwoman! This has become such a part of my life — a life changing part! I’ve made great friends, gotten actively involved in my community and invaluable leadership experience. I can’t imagine life without GFWC and my chapter!
