I’m A Clubwoman

Our district is celebrating it’s 100th Anniversary. I am on the Centennial committee and have been gathering pictures and memorabilia to have a presentation at the Fall district meeting. As I look back on the old photos and see the ladies that have left us, I realize I can never ask them questions about [...]

I knew August would be busy with club meetings starting back up. I just did not know how busy. My office at work looks like a staging area.
1) Pile of school supplies folks have donated that our club is collecting.
2) Non-perishable food items for us to stock the pantry for Ronald McDonald house.
3) [...]

The last few years, we have a ball making bag lunches for Must Ministries for the Summer lunch program – which provides lunches to school children once school is over. This use to take us a couple of hours to make the lunches – no more. Tuesday night, we broke into groups with [...]

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 [...]

We had our state convention for Georgia April 17-19 in Augusta.  It was a fabulous convention!!!!  Our 1st and 10th district really did an outstanding job hosting.  Attendance was a little off – I am hoping next year we can see 500 in attendance.  This year only saw 264.  I am hoping it was because [...]

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 [...]

It is beautiful here in Georgia.  Spring is BUSTING out all over.  BUT so are my allergies!!!  Yesterday, I did nothing but sneeze and wipe my eyes.  I ran out of my allergy medication (BAD TIMING!).  But my allergies will not deter me from enjoying this fabulous time of year.   I have my Martina McBride and Jimmy [...]

My book club met last night. We reviewed and discussed The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls.
April’s book is The Book Thief. We are thinking our May book may be The Lace Readers. If anyone has read these books would appreciate your opinion.
The book I began reading after The Glass Castle was/is Kiss My Tiara – [...]

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 [...]

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

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.  [...]

2008 was a crazy year for me.  Besides God’s grace, the love of my family and friends, what saved my sanity was crafting.  It helps me get rid of the stress and helps me to use the other side of my brain after a long day at work.
I used to have not a creative bone [...]

I am so excited that all of the reporting is done for our club.  January is slammed with trying to get projects, hours and dollars donated.  Every year, my club says we will report continuosly and we set out with the best of intentions.  I have carried my flash drive with all of the reports [...]

Happy 2009!!! January is National Mentoring Month. The person that I believe made the most difference in my life and is my mentor is my Mom. She was a member of the Smyrna Federated Woman’s Club when I was young and I can remember being right by her side as she participated in club projects. The club was a very small group, but it held debates for local elections, manned booths for a petition drive to have early weather warning sirens installed in our county, held student art competitions and so many more projects. Mom showed me you can make a difference in your community everyday by your actions.
