2008-2010 GFWC of Missouri, Inc. President’s Message
November
6, 2008
There are changes on the Photo Gallery, the Missouri Girls Town page, and the Sophomore Pilgrimage page on this website. Check them out?
We are going to enter the GFWC website contest - so I would appreciate more activity on the unique interactive Message Board on this website. We need to show GFWC we are using this website to its full potential.
From “Why I Am A Club Woman”
compiled from answers to the question by GFWC of Missouri clubwomen in
1993:
I am a Club Woman because:
I believe in the ideals of GFWC, as it continues to work for legislation
that benefits women and children
I enjoy the satisfaction derived from volunteer service.
Of the personal growth through the study of the world at large.
I enjoy the camaraderie and enthusiasm of GFWC, with its many projects
and programs
It has given me the opportunity to meet a diverse group of ladies
Because it keeps me in step with today’s needs and issues
I enjoy the friendship of the ladies in the organization
Because of the great fellowship in meeting and working together with
other women with similar interests
Because I enjoy meeting people and have made many lifelong friends
through GFWC. I would not have had the opportunity to meet them if I had
not been involved in clubwork.
Because I want to learn as much as possible, and GFWC offers me areas of
study not available elsewhere.
Because it allows me to work with women who get things done.
Because as a member of our unified volunteer federation, the impact each
one of us makes is multiplied many times over - beyond what a single
individual could accomplish alone.
Because it has allowed me to flourish intellectually.
Because I have always wanted to stay active.
Because GFWC is a continuous source of information and good will.
The Fall District Conventions for 2008 are now completed. We have a
couple of new dates for Fall District Conventions 2009.
District Three will meet October 31, 2009 - not on September 18, 2009
District Six will meet October 24, 2009 - not on September 5, 2009
Bylaw change requests for GFWC of Missouri will appear in the next
Missouri Clubwoman. They will be discussed and voted on at our GFWC of
Missouri Convention May 1, 2009.
This is a good time to think of your costume for the Mardi Gras Costume
Banquet the night of May 1, 2009.
Enjoy the fall. Have a good Thanksgiving!
Patricia R. Zachary
President
GFWC of Missouri, Inc.
