Remember, if you cannot attend a monthly Membership Meeting, be sure to call Ella at 691-4211 to let her know so you are not charged $15.00 for lunch. RSVP’s are due by Monday!

Please remember the Pewaukee Food Pantry! This month the Food Pantry is in need of macaroni and cheese or meals in a can. Thank you in advance for remembering those in need. Bring your items to our meeting and your name will be put in a basket to win a mystery prize in the black box!

Did you Know?

The Woman’s Club of Pewaukee is part of a District, State, National and International Organization called the General Federation of Women’s Club (GFWC). Our club was organized in 1904 and we joined the State Federation in 1920. In 1929 we were elected to Membership in the GFWC. Our club consists of several community service departments including Arts, Conservation, Education, Home Life, International Affaris, Public Affairs and other Special Projects. If you have a special interest in certain projects, please contact the Chair Person listed on pages 4 & 5 in your Membership Booklet. We encourage members to take the lead on new projects! What are your interests? Do you want to make a difference by educating the community about “going green”, women’s health issues, or domestic violence? Other ideas? Simply contact one of the Board members to get started! In the recent past we have helped restock pediatric bags in local ambulances, purchased planters to beautify the downtown, collaborated with other nonprofits to help a cause, held fundraisers, new member teas and hosted art contests to showcase our local student artists. YOU can get involved however you wish! The sky is the limit! We all have gifts and passions. What is YOURS?
GFWC-WI Helen Farnsworth Mears Art Contest

Special thanks to everyone who volunteered to bake, serve, hang artwork or judge the Helen Farnsworth Mears Art Contest! The Art Reception on February 9 at the Pewaukee Public Library was very well attended, and the artwork on display was excellent! Our winning students from this local contest will compete with other young artists from southern Wisconsin, and those winners compete with students at the State level. Remember, club members may also participate at the District Spring Meeting! You may submit entries in photography, arts and crafts, or art. Almost anything can be entered! The only requirement is that it must have been created in 2012-2013. Go ahead and be creative! Please contact Ruth Harken or Sue Goldstone for further information.
