Nevis Women’s Club serves Violence Awareness Dinner
In October, the Nevis Women’s Club prepared a ‘comfort’ dinner of meat loaf (they made 50 individual loaves!), mashed tatoes, corn, coleslaw and rolls to about 200 people. This was the only fundraiser for the Domestic Violence Center in Park Rapids. Proceeds of $2900 will help the center.

Thank You Tuesday
Leadership Ideas from Yvonne Schilplin, Leadership Chairman
GFWC International President Mary Ellen Brock recommends that we participate in “Thank You Tuesday” by writing in a journal or by sending a note on a job well done. Maybe one of your members took the initative to lead a group project. She would appreciate a Thank you note from you. Maybe a group in town has given help or guidance to your club. A “Thank You Tuesday” note would be great! Maybe a member gave you a ride to a meeting or eventm, or maybe a mlember made a great dessert, or maybe a member gave an informative presentation, send a “Thank You Tuesday” note.
“Thank You Tuesday” correspondence can be sent to members of your family, neighbors, friends, etc. We have all received Thank You notes and know how those notes are the most heartfelt ways of expressing gratitude.
Write a “Thank You Tuesday” note or two each Tuesday and know that you are spreading warm, juzzy feelings to the recipients of your notes.
2017 Empowering Women Program GFWC of Minnesota
Every odd year, GFWC of Minnesota clubs are given the opportunity to honor a member who demonstrates the unique quality of empowering other women. This is your chance to honor one clubwoman during the GFWC of Minnesota Annual Convention in Bloomington on Saturday, May 6, 2017.
The following criteria describe an Empowering Woman:
- Demonstrates outstanding contributions to your club and its projects.
- Exhibits significant leadership qualities and the ability to encourage others to develop their leadership skills.
- Portrays a positive attitude and willingness to empower others.
Please write a brief half-page description of your Empowering Woman’s contributions to your club and how she has empowered others. A picture suitable for reproduction would be great. Be sure to include her activities at the district and state level or international level if she has been involved. The information and photos you provide will be compiled into a commemorative booklet for distribution at the state convention.
Please submit your material by March 1, 2017 to:
