Report Writing Workshop

There will be two Report Writing Workshops on November 23rd, 2021. One in-person workshop at Headquarters at 10:00 a.m. and a Zoom workshop at 7:00 p.m. To register, contact Barbara McCloskey, mccloskey@njsfwc.org or call 973-625-9416. Include your name, club, morning or evening workshop and any questions you have.

Resolutions

In the late 1890’s quarry companies were blasting down the Palisades and The Woman’s Club of Englewood was concerned about losing this irreplaceable landscape. They asked the New Jersey State Federation to assist in stopping this destruction and the rest is history. Does your Club have any concerns that they would like to address?

If so, consider writing a Resolution to help get the support of your fellow club members. Your Resolution does not have to be perfect; the Resolution Committee will help polish it up for presentation. Contact NJSFWC Legislation/Resolutions Chairman, Chris Sienkielewski, with any questions, sienkielewski@njsfwc.org.

Advocates for Children

Thanks so much to all of the Clubs, that had projects during Advocates for Children Week. Please see the information, and instructions for applying for the Giraffe, Stick Your Neck Out Award.

The Giraffe Award will be presented at the Junior Business Session of the GFWC Annual Convention (2021/2022) to honor all State Federations that participate in the Challenge Project. An award certificate will be provided to each club that undertakes a project directly benefiting children during the fourth week of October. To be recognized, complete the Giraffe Award Application Form that was in the September Advocates for Children Bulletin, and send it to Juniors’ Special Program Chairman Carrie Zimmerman at czim22@gmail.com.
