Geneva Lake Women’s Association Safety Town 2021 will be Tuesday, June 8th – Friday, June 11th. It will be held at Lake Geneva Middle School, 600 N. Bloomfield Rd., Lake Geneva. Check back for registration in early March.
Safety Town is an early childhood safety education program designed for children who are at least 5 years of age and entering five-year-old kindergarten in the fall of 2021. During a 12 hour program (3 hours per day for 4 days), children learn safety behavior under the guidance of certified teachers and qualified professionals, such as firefighters and police personnel. Children learn safety lessons through role playing, games, art projects, stories, movies and field trips. Children also learn traffic and bike safety by driving their “cars” in our child-sized Safety Town. Learning experiences are designed to be fun and non-threatening, so children look forward to every day of Safety Town.
The Geneva Lake Women’s Association is proud to provide this community service for Walworth County for over 40 years. Committee chair Denise Schnurr noted that many participants have a prior connection to Safety Town. “It is amazing to see the number of parents and high school volunteers who had been participants as children,” says Schnurr.

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.
