So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
Galatians 6:9 (NLT)
Greetings GLWA Gals,
This is why we do all that we do, the harvest of blessings that we are able to bestow on our communities. September saw a bounty of success with funds received from our 2 largest fundraisers.Our September meeting gave us a stunning report of an $8500 profit from Women’s Weekend 2021, and a committee formed to making Women’s Weekend 2022 bigger and better.Little black dresses were everywhere for Ladies Day Luncheon.A sellout crowd of 200 women enjoyed Leslie Goddard’s history of our favorite apparel, as well as jewelry bag raffles, 50/50, pearl raffle and the launching of our online silent auction.Great job to our committee and members for doing an amazing job facing some new challenges. I do not wish to miss any committee members as there were many.However, a huge thank you to Maureen Berkowitz who chaired this event from afar, Penny Hallet who had the non-enviable task of managing the silent auction, Missy Sell, Georgia Ichen, Treasure Sperry and Kathy Bartelli who navigated our way through the creation of the online bidding process.Growing pains are never easy.I am looking forward to hearing just how well we did.
Thanks to Missy Sell for hosting our September meeting and our hostesses for all the goodies.For those of you who have volunteered to be a hostess, your efforts and time commitment are so appreciated.We love it when all members take a turn.
I am looking forward to seeing many of our former Presidents at our October Blue Jean Ball. With many newer members to GLWA, you’ll be amazed at hearing stories from these women who have made this organization what it is today.Talk about hard work, little if any profit, and just seeing where technology has taken us, it is pretty mind-boggling.Like that old tagline, “We’ve come a long way Baby.”
We will try and keep our October business meeting short and spend more time on fellowship.Holiday Helping Hands is approaching, our Holiday party and opportunity to raise funds for our general account in December, and an update for Women’s Weekend 2022.Can’t forget that right around the corner we will be looking for board candidates, committee chairs, Children’s Art Show committee and more opportunities to bless our communities.As always, if you have an idea for an event or an organization that could use our assistance, please reach out.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
Always,
Cathy
