Greetings from
the President
Thank you for giving
me this opportunity to serve as the GFWC of Montana President
for the next two years.
It is with honor and humility that I
embark upon this journey with you.
You’ve heard the saying “It takes a
village”, it indeed takes all of us working together to help our
communities thrive.
As we define values, goals, and
objectives and set timelines for achieving these let us be there
for each other.
The theme for this administration is
“Embracing the Past while Envisioning the Future”.
We have a rich history to continue building upon and a
bright future for new beginnings.
Participating in the varied programs offered through GFWC
gives us a sense of accomplishment and improves our self
respect.
We have
much to learn from being a volunteer.
As we focus our
efforts on Arts, Conservation, Education, Home Life,
International Affairs, Public Affairs and all the Special
Projects let us take our life experiences into our communities
to make it a better place.
Raising $10,000 to
help build a chapel on the grounds of the Montana State Hospital
in Warm Springs is the special project we will work together on
to achieve a common goal.
Faith and
spirituality are important to the recovery of people with mental
illness and often provides strength to persevere when life’s
events seem overwhelming. The patients of the hospital
long for a “place of
refuge,” where they can be comfortable in a location away from
the hospital routine, and the stresses of their everyday lives.
Membership will be a priority among all
GFWC clubs.
We must convey to each potential
member the value of their support in their communities.
As Rose says Together “We Can Do It”, Susan
