September General Meeting
​September 13

A Blast from the ​Past...

Plantation GFWC History

As mentioned at the September meeting, our Club has been instrumental in the development of Plantation. We started in a warehouse located in Hoffman Park. A concreate block building with no water. That first five years saw the club: Gather a group of determined woman that worked to improve their community starting with a bake sale in the first year that earned enough money to buy a used piano for the community.

This was quickly followed in the second year with a fundraising dance that allowed for the purchase of grills for the park. A “play school” program was set up to provide a chance for short term childcare. The Club asked each member to donate a $1.00 so they could provide supplies for the children.

In our third year, we sponsored teen dances to provide activities for the young adults. We also purchased chairs for the center.
In year four, the city summer recreational program was started and run by the Club. The Club supervised and financed the project for two summers. The holiday basket program to assist those in need was initiated. The club voted to join the GFWC.

Finally in year five, our charter was written and approved. We began the welfare program to assist our neighbors when they were in need. The Club started a tradition of hosting coffees for newcomers.  In a short time, with a group of approximately 35 woman we started to put our imprint on the city. Stay tuned for more history next month.

Give Us The Rings!!

So, it’s that time of year again where we show our love and affection to our community.  We are sponsors for the “Holiday Parade” on November 19th and the “Light up City Hall” on December 4th. 
I stumbled across a little craft that is easy to make and fairly cheap to give away.  With a little help from Club members, we can be a part of many events with these little pipe cleaner rings. 
· Firstly, we will be throwing approximately 2,000 rings along the parade trail with necklaces, candy and dog treats.
· Our next visit will be attracting 1,000 family members to our booth with rings during the Light Up City Hall event. We had over 60 women last year that showed interest in our Club and requested to receive a newsletter.
· And, lastly having the Club members work on this craft will enable us to have a “GROUP CLUB CRAFT” which we can submit a few samples with pictures competitively.  Very few clubs can say they do crafts as a single group and I expect to steal the show this year!
