Quote for the month
Politeness is like an air cushion – there may be nothing to it, but it eases our
jolts wonderfully
THE PRESIDENT’S KEY NOTES
The time to start our year is exciting! Our theme for the next two years is “Reach for the
stars”. Each member is a star. You have reached out to your community to be part of The
Fuquay-Varina Woman’s Club. Thank you for being a part of a wonderful constellation.
When you think of F-V WC think of STAR. S is for service. From national to state Woman’s
Club, service is the first and primary point of this organization. So service begins our star. T
stands for teaching or training which is often done in our CSP – community service
programs. Our meetings provide programs that will teach and enrich our lives. A stands for
associations. Through our club and our members, we become aware of town and state
organizations and the many talents that each member shares through: Arts, Conservation,
Education, Home Life, International Outreach, and Public Issues. Each star – member - will
radiate the talents of others, helping to build the R of the star- relationships and resources.
The final point of the five-pointed star is the constellation that each member of this club
helps to create. So if we use the S – service lessons, T – teaching & training, A – associations,
R – relationships and resources; our club can continue to build and radiate positive lights. I
look forward to serving you in the wonderful experiences that Fuquay-Varina Woman’s
Club offers. We continue to create our constellation by “Reaching for the stars”.
I thank you for letting me serve you as president. I ask that each of you pray for me to do
this job and to radiate your own star. May God bless our year and constellation.
Patty

Welcome back to our first meeting of the year! We are very excited to be welcoming new
members into our organization and providing wonderful membership benefits for all
members.
We will be enjoying a fun bingo game during our social time from 6:45 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. at
our September meeting. This will give us the opportunity to socialize and get to know more
about other members!
Throughout each month our Membership committee will be corresponding with each of
our committees to showcase fun events our members and committees will be participating
in. We encourage each of you to share with us what you enjoy doing most within our local
and surrounding areas, so that we may share this information with our entire membership.
If you are interested in being a member mentor (sharing your club experiences with new
members, being an encourager for new members or simply want to help welcome visitors
at our monthly meetings) please let Anna Campbell know! We are always looking for fun
ways to build relationships while serving!

House & Grounds - Shirley Simmons
Fortune has smiled upon our Clubhouse and we are now in the “black” with rental income. Regular monthly groups are: Library Book Club Scouts, GFWC Junior Woman’s Club, FV Garden Club, and New Harvest Church. The Clubhouse is still available for rent by individuals and groups. Call Dot Mays: 919-552-6434. Most Saturdays, all Sundays, and some Friday’s are already booked. If you are planning an event, let us get it on the calendar as soon as possible. House & Grounds will need to plan a “fall clean up” and will appreciate participation by the membership about the time we have LEAVES to rake and some inside spruce up due.
Arts – CHAIR: Martha Smallwood; co-chair: Donna MacDonald
The Arts CSP Committee is excited about a new season and invites you to "Save the Date." Our local Arts Festival will be held at Windsor Pointe January 14-15. You know what this means! If you haven't started an art project to enter this year, we highly encourage each Clubwoman to consider participating. And don't forget that Clubwomen may perform as well -- there are categories for public speaking and drama. For writers, there's literature, and for photographers, portraits and scenic landscapes. If you have an inquiry, contact Martha at [email protected].
PLEASE NOTE: Updates to State Arts Guidelines have been uploaded on the website.
Conservation – Chair: Bev McDougall & Vickie Cardin
The Conservation CSP met to plan the year ahead. We would like to invite the WC members to a road trip at a future date to see raptors and other rescued wildlife. We will continue to collect can tabs every month and donate to Fuquay-Varina Elementary School. We will also collect plastic grocery bags in November to donate to SPCA. We plan to purchase books for the public library to teach children how to be caretakers of our planet to support GFWC Read Green partnership. Here's to a great year!
Home Life – Chair: Barbara Kennedy & Peggy Reynaud
Committee met and set up projects for the next year. We will start with Bingo on Monday, September 5th at Elderly Home. Committee Members will assist in this event. We will do this on a monthly basis. Please donate any shampoos and soaps to Barb Kennedy to assist in this event and future events with the Elderly Home.
Education – Chair: Dot Mays & Shirley Simmons IF YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO VOLUNTEER AT A LOCAL SCHOOL ONE DAY A WEEK, the Library at Fuquay-Varina Elementary needs people to shelve books, help students with check outs and check ins, and generally assist the librarian. Contact: Sherron Hornaday [email protected] 919-557-2566 ext. 20726. ESO is the GFWC Reading Program to encourage Women to engage a variety of topics. The book club will continue on the 4th Monday nights except for Dec. 26 (vacation). Members are urged to consider participating in this program as a fun, social, and discussion time. We will have a handout for the club women this month to provide details.
International Outreach – Chair: Patty Byrne & Sandy Allen
The emphasis for September is our Shot@Life project. We have two ways for you to
participate.
First, Join Shot@Life today for Race to Erase, Shot@Life’s fall coast-to-coast activation. Starting September 1 through World Polio Day on October 24, 2016, Race to Erase will challenge supporters to stand up to help protect kids from polio and eradicate this debilitating disease by fundraising and advocating to your members of Congress.
What’s Race to Erase? It is a 5K Run or Walk (or any other activity you desire) during the countdown to World Polio Day on October 24, 2016. Starting today, we’re challenging you to be part of our race to erase this disease once and for all.
See more at: http://shotatlife.org/2016/08/31/join-shotlifes-race-erase-polio-5k/
Second, Walgreens and United Nations Foundation’s Shot@Life campaign have teamed
up since 2013 for Get a Shot. Give a Shot®, a campaign that has helped to provide 15
million lifesaving vaccines to children in developing countries. From September 1,
2016 - August 31, 2017 get your flu shot or any immunization at Walgreens and help
provide a vaccine for a child in need.
**************************************************************************************
UNICEF boxes will be distributed at our September meeting
so you can start collecting your loose change from September through October.
