The GFWC North Pinellas Woman's Club celebrated their 7th Anniversary on July 10th with dinner and dancing at a local country club. All the past presidents and the current president wore a sash with their year on it. One past president could not attend so she was made into a "Flat Sandy" complete with sash.
Jane Hussar received her 30 year pin and was honored with a poem and flowers for her many years of service. Jane started as a Juniorette with the Palmetto Little Women in 1968-1970. She later joined the GFWC Clearwater Junior Woman's Club and served as President in 1991. In 2003 she was one of the founders of the GFWC North Pinellas Woman's Club and its first president.

New District 13 Director Darlene Vlazny welcomed 55 members from 10 Clubs who attended the District 13 Spring Workshop on Saturday, May 22 at Volunteer Park in Plantation. Everyone agreed that it was fun, informative and humorous!
Hostess club, the Plantation Acres Woman's Club, served an elegant brunch, complete with Mimosas & strawberries!
Eight baskets, one gift card and one donation in lieu of a basket were contributed by 10 clubs for the raffle - a huge success!
GFWC Florida President, Teddy Hulse was the speaker. She presented a mini-"leads" (leadership) program which will surely help us all with our respective Clubs. Some new info - and some reinforcement of things we know - but don't always do! She explained that "Departments" are now "Community Service Programs" and "International Outreach" and "Public Issues" have replaced the previous names. The explanation of the President's Project (Membership) to ensure the financial stability and future of our Clubs, District and GFWC Florida has taken on a life of its own and is being perpetuated as: "Change or Die"!
Presidents from each club had 3 minutes to tell about their recent activites.
