Tracie Snodgrass is the Missouri Chairman Civic Engagement & Outreach.
COMMUNITY CONNECTION INITIATIVE:
A LITTLE THANKS GOES A LONG WAY
Civic engagement is the process of connecting individuals in society with one another, to share common interests, and work for the common good. www.study.com
GFWC clubs are encouraged to focus efforts on giving thanks and advocating for the essential workers in the community. Essential workers in the community include many fields of work not only medical care providers and first responders, but also the many 911 dispatchers, teachers, civil service employees, farmers, truckers, utility workers, pharmacy providers, bank employees, delivery services, sanitation employees, and military personnel as examples. To be involved is to care about your community and working with others to make it a more positive place to live, work, and socialize.
