Our state convention was last weekend. I really want to tell you about one of the greatest centerpiece ideas I’ve ever seen.

My club sponsors an absolutely amazing project each year. It is a Student Art Festival held at one of the local high schools every spring. Hundreds of students from all the feeder junior highs and from the two high schools enter their art creations.

I just made my reservations for the GFWC National Convention in Cleveland and look forward to meeting many of you there! This is my first GFWC convention and I’d appreciate any tips you “old-timers” might have.

In GFWC Illinois District 10, we hold “Reciprocity” luncheons every other year. My club does a pot luck. We invite the club president and president-elect of each of the other clubs in our district and all our members. The members in our club brings a dish to pass. The attendance is very good for that meeting, and we have a huge club.

It has been a long time since I’ve blogged for “I’m a Clubwoman”.  Right after we started this blog, and the week before my Club’s big fundraiser, I fell and broke my finger.  I am right-handed and it has really been a rough few months.  The day after our fundraiser I had surgery, which my [...]

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 [...]

The Woman’s Club clubhouse and my home are in a very low income neighborhood. I planted daffodils in a bleak spot at the base of the side steps to the clubhouse. A local elderly woman who walks her dog that way everyday stopped to chat as I planted them last November.

It is almost time for Earth Day, April 22. April showers and snow and hail have delayed me but there is so much to do weather or not I want to. My IRS personal taxes are done, whew, but I had to do an extension on our family business corporation taxes. It’s so hard to stay inside now that Spring finally beckons, but I must try to find a balance.

I am trying to get “caught up” on all the ways to keep in touch with everyone.  I started with a MySpace page, mainly to keep an eye on Catherine, my 14 yr. old.  I found a lot of friends there too, but I just didn’t have the time to constantly update my site as [...]

Terry pulled her lawnmower into her yard shed and headed up to the house for a glass of lemonade. By the time she walked back outside, it was on fire. Try as they may, the volunteer fire fighters didn’t get all of the flames put out, and the yard shed burned to the ground.

Now, when [...]
