Clubs: Special Opportunities for 2003 Reports

1st Vice President, Ann Durall

We began the reporting year for club programs and activities on January 1, 2003 so we are well into the year 2003. Many clubs have projects and programs that are going to be eligible for very special awards on the GFWC level. These awards bring a monetary award as well as certificates. Always check the GFWC Program Book for additional information. I will be glad to assist as needed. Ann: adurall37@aol.com

Here is a simple outline of some of the GFWC Department opportunities. Club need to focus on these areas before December 31, 2003, the deadline. Watch for other reminders in this issue about GFWC Special Projects and GFWC of TN Special Projects.

Listed, are all divisions in each department with the state chairmen. If there is no reminder after a division, it means that you proceed with reporting as in the year 2002.

Arts and Crafts (Sue Arnhart) Cash will be awarded to students with winning art work at Spring Conventions. A committee has been appointed by the president to decide this procedure for monetary awards. The committee will report and make recommendations to the Fall Board, 2003.

Literacy (Jane Wilson)
This is the report in which most clubs in TN participate. Plan your report to reflect all work but give special emphasis to extremely large projects such as the GFWC of TN Special Projects: Cops and Readers.

2003 activities for Youth Literacy/ASPIRE are very important for several reasons. The narrative is 2 pages but is single-spaced. It can have up to 5 pages of supporting material. State Chairman will receive Youth Literacy ASPIRE club reports by March 1, 2004 and the winning report to Washington DC by March 12th. Note the different date for receipt of the report from clubs. This club report will have the opportunity to win a monetary award at GFWC if selected 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place at the National Convention. Only one entry per state is accepted by GFWC. Check pages 13, 14 in blue Program Book for additional information.
