A few years ago, I was shopping with my daughter; and we saw
a set of coasters with a butterfly on it with the saying “Spread Your
Wings.” When thinking about my years
with GFWC, I have spread my wings several times – first, being the state Public
Issues Chairman, then State Treasurer and then President-Elect.
My theme is “Spread your wings with GFWC.” My pin is a blue butterfly. When I looked around my home, I noticed more
than one blue butterfly.
I want to encourage every member and every club to spread their wings and
take on a new challenge. This can be a position
in your local club or on the state level.
Also, I encourage clubs to try a new idea. Spread your wings and see what new adventures
we can share.
I have two areas of interest, the first is Domestic &
Sexual Violence Awareness & Prevention.
This is also a national area of interest. There are many ways we can help in
communities both large and small. The
second area is Women’s Health. As we are
all aging, Women’s Health is very important.
Is there someone in your club or community that can present a program on
one of the many areas of health for women?
I also want to encourage retaining and adding new members to
our clubs. I hope to make my
administration fun and informative for all members; and with all your help, I
know that is possible. I can’t wait to
see the wonderful programs and ideas you all come up with.
