Geneva Lake Women’s Association is celebrating a milestone in our amazing history. This year marks the 55th anniversary of our incorporation into a service organization. Back then, we were known as the Lake Geneva Jaycettes and were affiliated with the Jaycees. Changes at the national level led us to change our name in 1985 to the Geneva Lake Women’s Association, but our mission remained the same. To help those in our community in need.
As we celebrate this 55th anniversary, we’ll be sharing with you some of our historic photos and documents. This is our 1985 Welcome Packet. It’s a nice summary of our history and lists some of the many projects we were involved in. You’ll notice, we still host many of the same service projects and contribute to many of the same charities.
Thank you to our many supporters and members who have kept GLWA moving forward all these years. We couldn’t have done it without you. Please feel free to share your photos and memories with us. Just email them to us at glwa@glwa.net.

Nancy, Holly and Deb are our hotel gals who are making plans to find the best hotel deals for Women’s Weekend Lake Geneva 2023! If any area hotels want to host our Women's Weekend Lake Geneva attendees, send us a direct message and we will connect you with one of these lovely ladies!
GLWA was honored to be able to donate $1,000 to the Walworth County Community Thanksgiving Dinner on Friday morning. This Thanksgiving many individuals will be able to enjoy a warm holiday meal at Waters Edge in Delavan, and meals will also be delivered to people's homes, thanks to numerous organizations and businesses.
You can learn how you can become involved as a donor by reading the message posted on the organization's Facebook page, which we have shared.
Come to Simple Cafe in Lake Geneva tonight for a fundraiser for Side by Side . Tickets will be sold at the door. Another great way to help a great organization and a local business.
Committee Meetings!
Part of the fun of being in GLWA is raising money for our community. The other part of the fun is the committee meetings. Sometimes they may be at a member's house where we get to meet the significant others and play with the pets, and other days we are at fun restaurants and venues.
Yesterday the Ladies Day Luncheon girls met up at Geneva National , and last night the Women's Weekend crew met up at Tuscan Bar and Grill. And rumor has it a couple of members attended a chamber event in between those two. And there were a couple other meet ups prior this week at The Bottle Shop. (Sorry, we only have a photo of the Women's weekend meetup)
Consider joining a committee; we have plenty of options to choose from.

GLWA board members Pat and Cathy presented the YMCA with a $1,000 check as part of the "All 5 Things" winter closet donation. Brody Golz (pictured with Mom Jami) suggested it because kids need boots, waterproof gloves, hats, snow pants, and jackets to play on the blacktop at school. The YMCA is a collection spot until 10/10 for shopping on 10/15. GLWA proudly supports these efforts.

We held our annual Harvest Dinner on Monday night to recognize our past GLWA presidents. The Hawks View Country Club offered a lovely venue, delectable cuisine, and friendly staff! We thank them for providing us with the perfect night.
We thank our members, guests, and GLWA presidents for a fantastic evening!
We also wish Oshi, our unofficial mascot/honorary member, a farewell as he moves on to his second phase of training as a service dog.

Heads up GLWA fans! Or is it pumpkins up?
