FFWC State Boards


FFWC State Boards were the weekend of 9/18 - 9/20 in Orlando. For any of you who haven't been, it's the event at which we can attend many workshops specific to our different departments, share ideas with Florida Woman's Club members from around the State, and even enjoy a few laughs. I went over for just the day Saturday and came back with lots of ideas for fundraisers, some things to consider regarding our club and sales tax (not such a simple topic!), some new perspectives on how our club operates compared to some others in our area, and some fun memories as a result of a fund-raising event at dinner--a "horse" race in the style of the Kentucky Derby. Unfortunately, our District 6 "pony" fell behind and finished in the middle of the pack. But she sure looked pretty!

I hope more of us will be in attendance at the Spring Convention--and I hope you're getting your artwork and your craft projects, as well as your short stories and poems, ready to send there too!
