Congratulations to the GFWC of Tennessee
Congratulations to Lana and her Executive Board! This slate of officers was elected at Convention 2002 in Nashville. and installed in a meaningful ceremony on the Saturday Banquet. GFWC 2nd Vice President Jacqueline Pierce was the installing officer. She offered a challenge to each incoming officer to be the very best she could be.

Lana Robinson began her work with GFWC in 1987 as a member of Brandywine Woman’s Club where she served as President in 1989. In 1990 Lana helped start GFWC Andrew Jackson Centennial Woman’s Club and served as its charter President. Your President has served District V in many chairmanships as well as President elect, President and Parliamentarian. Since first becoming a GFWC of Tennessee member, Lana has served the state as Legislative Chairman, Literacy Chairman, and Fund Raising Chairman before being elected First Vice President for the 1998-2000 administration. She was then elected President Elect for 2000-2002 and now serves as your President. That position also makes her a member of the Board of Directors for GFWC and your official representative to our parent organization. In addition to her many duties as your President, Lana owns and operates “Dearly Beloved’s” a full service wedding chapel, which she created, designed and built in 1999. She is a widow with only one little girl, Miss Raunchy (the kitty cat), but four wonderful stepchildren, two of whom assist her in the wedding business. GFWC, "Dearly Beloved’s" and, of course, Miss Raunchy have become her hobbies, over shadowing her former ones of reading, sewing, traveling, etc.(See Lana's Letter on page 2)

WHAT
A GREAT PROJECT for Community Improvement and Literacy this will be.
At our post convention board meeting, your board approved Cops and
Readers (CARS) as a project of this administration. This project affords
clubs the opportunity to work with your city officials, police officers
and others in your community to teach children the importance of reading
while enhancing the image of the police officer as a friend and mentor.
Past President Emily Binkley is chairing this program and she will
be providing you with many ideas and directions for starting COPS
and READERS in your community. Be watching for her page in the new
GFWC of Tennessee handbook.
