You may have already given up on your New Year’s resolutions, so
here’s a second chance for a fresh start. Our first meeting of
2012 will help you achieve energy, harmony, and balance. The English
translation of Feng shui is "the way of Wind (feng) and Water (shui)"
or "the natural forces of the universe." Our speaker, Lori Greer,
will help us learn about the Chinese art of arranging buildings,
objects, and space in the environment. Fun and informative!

WHAT IS GFWC-CHARLOTTE ALL ABOUT?

We support and participate in many programs:

The Siren Shelter Holiday Tea 2011 was held on Sunday, November 13 at St. Mary's Church.  Of the more than 20 decorated tables, the GFWC-Charlotte table themed "O Holy Night" took best of show. 

BAY CLIFF HEALTH CAMP is a non-profit, non-denomination summer therapy center for physically handicapped children from 3-17 years of age.  It is located in Big Bay in the U.P.  It is open for 7 weeks each summer.  Founded in 1934, it now serves 200 children.  It is funded almost entirely by organizations and public spirited individuals.  It is a tax deductible contribution.  We are proud of the work they do and thus support this cause through monetary donations and items from their wish list.

GIRLSTOWN Foundation was begun by GFWC MI to meet the need for quality group care services for abused children.  This foundation has evolved from a small residential treatment facility into a multi-service, mission driven organization providing a wide range of family, community, mental health and child welfare services throughout Michigan.   We also support Girlstown through monetary donations and items from their wish list.

Heifer International is a non-profit organization that accepts dollar donations and converts them into cows, sheep, llamas, water buffalo, goats, camels, chickens, ducks, rabbits, geese, bees, pigs, or trees (whatever the populace needs).  Money is donated through December 15 and sent to help make a difference in other's lives around the world.
