Together in Service, United in Friendship
Looking for speakers at your club meetings?
Why not ask an NJSFWC Community Service Program Chairman, one of our Vice Presidents, or even the President to attend your meeting? Besides finding out the latest information from a Chairman, such as Arts and Culture, Civic Engagement and Outreach or even Advocates for Children, did you know that each of the Vice Presidents has a specialty? President-elect Susie Chambers can speak about Leadership, First Vice President Chris Sienkielewski is responsible for Report Writing and Second Vice President Patricia Dahl is the state Membership Chairman. We are here to serve you, the members!
Support for Club Bylaws
As many of you know, our Parliamentarian to the Clubs and dedicated Federation member, Gail Kovacs-Felici passed away recently. Although we can never replace Gail, until her position is filled, Vice Chairman, Roberta Dyrsten will take on the responsibilities of answering any club’s bylaw questions and reviewing updated bylaws. Now is a great time to review your club’s bylaws, especially with the change coming in 2025, where dues will be payable with the Yearbook Data Sheet (aka the Blue sheet) by May 1st. Roberta’s contact information is: robertadyrsten@gmail.com
