GFWC of TN Endowment Fund – Dorothy SkinnerThe year 2002 marks the 50th
anniversary of the Tennessee Endowment Fund. It was started by forward
thinking State President Leah Knox with $319.68 that became available
because the Hancock County Health Center closed. At the present time
there is over $120,000 invested and the income is used to support
the State Federation. This income in turn amounts to about $2 per
member per year which results in State dues being kept at a minimum.
We encourage each club to be 100%
(one dollar per year per member) and we also encourage entries in
the Golden Memory Book as memorials, thank offerings, honorariums
and other such events that your clubs or individuals might want
to be remembered. The book is really a history of our Federation
and is always available at Conventions and Board meetings. I also
expect each State Board of Directors members to at least donate
a minimum "one-liner" as an expression of her gratefulness
for being selected to be on this Important assignment. (I make a
great effort to collect this at the annual Fall Board Meeting.)
Other details of how to submit entries to the book are outlined
in detail in your Handbook Directory. Membership – Sandy Lindeman and Carla GoffHi Ladies, Hope your summer was a nice
one, it goes by to fast. 1) Have a new member function, a tea
or something like that. Where you invite perspective new members,
have a social and tell them what the GFWC is about, the activities
of your club and make them feel like they want to join your club.
