The Number One Project for GFWC of Missouri
Missouri Girls Town has had a single mission: "To provide a loving, stable home for abused and neglected girls." It is a mission that defines who we are, what we do, and why we say confidently that Girls Town is a home "where caring counts."
Missouri Girls Town Update
Each of our 9 GFWC of Missouri Districts brought a picnic basket to the Summer Conference. We had two additional surprise baskets brought in too! The donations resulting for those baskets and some U.S. stars and stripes lapel pins brought in $1,000 for Girls Town! Some of the baskets are being taken back to the Districts and will appear at the Fall District Conventions.
I announced an additional project in support of Missouri Girls Town and hope all our clubs will participate. It is the Feinstein Foundation Challenge to stop hunger in America. All Club Presidents and District Missouri Girls Town Chairmen will receive a letter from me in August explaining the project and how your club can participate. It is an opportunity to contribute food, funds, and pledges to Missouri Girls Town AND, if we structure it properly, result in receiving additional funds from the Feinstein Foundation for Missouri Girls Town in August of 2011.
Missouri Girls Town staff are hard at work during this summer break from school. The Activities Director, Randy, has been trying to set up a trip for some of the young ladies to Silver Dollar City. The GFWC Silver Leaf Benefit Club in Cassville is helping to obtain the needed passes to Silver Dollar City, and the GFWC Sorosis Club in Springfield is providing overnight accommodations and breakfast for the trip. GFWC Tuesday Club in Columbia continues to work with the Calloway County Juniorette Club to set up outstanding opportunities and activities for club members on campus.
The new 2010 report form to use each time you make a donation to Missouri Girls Town, both for individuals and for clubs, is online linked to this page. Please report to Pat Zachary the donations your club and your club members made during calendar year 2010. Those activity report forms are in the new 2010-2012 GFWC of Missouri Yearbook distributed at Summer Conference August 1, 2, 3, 2010 at Lake of the Ozarks. We want to hear about all the wonderful things your club and club members continue to do for Missouri Girls Town.
