WHAT IS GFWC-CHARLOTTE ALL ABOUT?
We support and participate
in many programs:
Arts and Crafts
are always popular with the membership. It involves 3-4
project per year held at a private home that involves about 2
hours and a cost of $5 per session. Signup sheets are
provided at the first meeting and available at the meeting
before sessions that are not full. As an offshoot of this
program, for the past 2 years we have created
lap robes that
involved no sew patterns once for Hope Landing and once for
Eaton County Medical Care Facility.
125th Anniversary of GFWC-Charlotte
celebration for 2012-13 is being planned
and promises to be an eventful year.
Remembrances involves
members letting this committee of cards that need sending other
members. An offshoot of this program is our
Hands to Hands group that
will drive, prepare meals, help in any way members in need
whether it is illness, bereavement, handicap, or whatever.
This connects member to member and serves to connect us all.

Local lawyer, Kathie Cook, spoke in March
about "Retirement Money Management"
and managing your assets.
The March Program was
"Early Women of Charlotte."
Leila Klaiss and Mary Jean Baker told details of important women
in the settling of Charlotte. Many of their artifacts can
be viewed at the Courthouse Square Museum. Members were
encouraged to wear hats and Lori Pray brought period clothes and
hats from the wardrobe of her former mother-in-law, Laurel Pray.
GFWC-CHARLOTE AND FENG SHUI
At our February meeting we heard about Feng
Shui which is the Chinese art of arranging buildings, object and
space in the environment of increased energy, harmony, and
balance from Lori Greer. The English translation of Feng
Shui is "the way of wind (feng) and water (shui) or the Natural
forces of the universe. It was a fun and informative
luncheon meeting.
