2012-2013 President's Message
This year as
we begin our twelfth year of service I hope that we all can take a moment to
realize just how much we are blessed. We
live in a free country. We are able to
worship as we see fit. We have enough
food and clean water. We have
educational opportunities and health care.
We are safe in our city and enjoy a high standard of living. May we never take these blessings for
granted.
Because we
are a blessed I believe we are expected to help others. This shouldn’t be seen as a burden. In my mission travels as well as with
volunteerism at home I have had the opportunity to know firsthand how wonderful
service can be. One’s intentions may be
to serve others, but without fail there seems to also be blessings received.
What better way of living than working to make our world a little better,
living as examples to our children and grandchildren, and having the
satisfaction of a job done to the best of our abilities. By striving to be a blessing to others we are
blessed ourselves! GFWC Legacy has
opportunities to touch many in need in our community – from the wonderful
residents of Jehovah Jireh to the students of the fledgling new Lincoln
Academy, from the veterans at Tut Fann Home to the victims of domestic violence
at Hope Place, from the women committed to improving their station in life at
the Christian Women’s Job Corp to supporting our own Serenity Juniorettes as
they learn the importance of leadership and volunteerism. We will even have the opportunity to help
support the artisans of Apparent Project as they work to keep their children
and work their way out of the tent cities of Haiti.
I hope that
you each will renew your commitment to GFWC Legacy. Not only will you be a blessing to the ones
that we serve but by working side by side we will be a blessing to each
other. Please make Legacy a priority. I urge you to enter all of the dates from the
Legacy calendar into your personal calendar so that you can look forward to the
upcoming service and social opportunities.
If you see that one of our fellow club sisters has missed a few meetings
I hope that you make an effort to contact her and encourage her to participate
and let her know that she has been missed.
Together we
are few in number but we are mighty in abilities and spirit. I know that we can make a difference in our
community and will reap many blessings besides!

Welcome to a new year!
As members of GFWC Legacy, we embark on a new year of service by celebrating our tenth anniversary as a club. While we look back at where we have been and what we have accomplished together over the past ten years, we also look forward to new opportunities to reach out to others in our community and beyond.
Our theme for this administration, 'to live, to love, to learn, to leave a legacy’, is borrowed from author Stephen Covey. In his book, First Things First, he writes, “There are certain things that are fundamental to human fulfillment. The essence of these needs is captured in the phrase 'to live, to love, to learn, to leave a legacy'. The need to live is our physical need for such things as food, clothing, shelter, economical well-being, health. The need to love is our social need to relate to other people, to belong, to love and to be loved. The need to learn is our mental need to develop and to grow. And the need to leave a legacy is our spiritual need to have a sense of meaning, purpose, personal congruence, and contribution”
Over the course of the next year we will have many opportunities for service. We will also enjoy monthly social events to strengthen our friendships and get to know one another better. I encourage you to invite your friends to become Legacy Ladies. What better gift can you give your friends than the opportunity to deepen the bonds of friendship through shared service?
Fasten your seatbelts, roll up your sleeves, and get ready to live, love, learn, and leave a legacy together. We are GFWC Clubwomen, and that’s what we do!

Legacy in the Community

President's Message
Welcome to a new year and a new theme. "Harmony in Service" is to be in one accord with each other and the service to our community. As club women, we strive to reach and touch people in our community. This year I hope we can reach our community in several areas. Our goals can be achieved with a group of ladies dedicated to helping others. With enthusiastic support of our service projects, we will be in Harmony together. Harmony is also a musical term to create a group or chord of sounds that blend together for a beautiful musical tone. We can be that beautiful musical tone by working together for the betterment of our community. I will serve each of you as your Presdient with much joy and excitement. With this "Harmony in Service" - oh, the places we will go.
