GFWC GA Monthly Connections

Dear Federated Sisters,

Greetings to you this summer! I hope you are enjoying this summer time, the warmth, the sun, and the relaxation. For me, I have had a busy summer with some trips and many other things of life. I had a list of things to do this summer and found I did not accomplish much on the list. There were things like clean out the garage or painting that needed to be done. Oh, well, it will still be there later. But, I did have some great trips this summer. I went to the mountains quite often, had a trip to the beach, and had a 10 day road trip to Texas for the GFWC Georgia International Convention.

It was a packed five days of entertainment, food, meetings, and awards. I cannot wait to share with you at Institute the recognition GFWC Georgia received at the International Convention. I was so pleased and proud of being a member of GFWC Georgia each time our name was called and it was all due to YOU! It was your work and dedication in your communities that allowed Georgia to shine. Thank you for all you do and for taking the time to report those many wonderful projects you do.

As summer closes for me and I return to school starting my 23rd year as a school counselor, I hope you are making plans to attend Institute in August in Athens. It is a time to LEARN this year. There will be inspiring speakers, wonderful workshops, and hands on activities. We will hear from our LEADS representative, recognize our Jennie Award nominees, and celebrate GFWC Georgia accomplishments. I hope to see you there!

With much friendship,

Tina Daniel

GFWC GA State President 2018-2020

Junior Conference Corner

#GAJUNIORSROCK

I want to send our thoughts, prayers and love to the family of Angie Redshaw, who was serving as the President of the Valdosta Junior Woman’s Club. Angie was a caring teacher, wife, and Mother whose smile could brighten your day. She loved helping others and volunteering in her community. She was loved by so many and we will deeply miss her. Please keep her family and friends in your prayers.

I also want to extend our deepest sympathy to Annette Belk, who lost her son last month. David Cook was a state trooper who also worked as a firefighter and emergency medical technician in South Carolina. Annette serves as our South East District Director of Junior Clubs. Please keep Annette and her family in your prayers during this very difficult time.

It’s Time for Institute:

I am very excited to invite you to Institute 2019 in Athens Georgia. It is time to register for August 16 – the LEADS conference. Consider sending one or more of your members to the LEADS workshop to learn leadership skills as well as information about GFWC. We belong to a great organization and want to share it with others.

August 17 – 18 ^th are days filled with speakers, hands on learning experiences, a “Recycle” fashion show featuring the District presidents, District Junior Directors and the executive board. It should be quite entertaining.

August 18 ^th is the Junior Conference business meeting (short meeting) and LOTS of great learning about Women’s Health. You don’t want to miss Sunday morning and it is included in your registration fee.

Please go online today and reserve your room at the Hyatt and also register for the Summer Institute at www.gfwcgeorgia.org . We will have a time of Junior fun on Saturday night after dinner – more details to follow.

I am also excited to share with you the awards and news from our International Convention held last month in Austin, TX. We had a wonderful time learning, and sharing information and ideas with the ladies from all over the United States and the world. Remember that next year, we are the hosts of the 2020 International convention. It is going to be great!!

Be sure and send your pictures and club activities to Freda Tylor at the following emails. We want to see what your clubs are doing in your communities.
