It was a busy day today for the GFWC Greater West Palm Beach Women's Club.. At our business meeting we heard from a trio discussing Operation Christmas Child Shoebox program, initiated 2 new members and checked out a new Little Free Library box. After the meeting members delivered 50 shirt protectors and clothing to the Finish/American rest home. The shirt protectors are being modeled by Meg and two employees of the rest home.

Today, 6 members delivered school supplies collected by our club to HomeSafe for our adopted girls. Lots of subject folders, binders, pencils & sharpeners, highlighters, composition books, pens, etc., were donated by members. We are ensuring the girls have a good start for the new school year!

On July 17, we made "Christmas in July" cards. One member wore Christmas garb which gave us all the spirit. We made Christmas cards, birthday cards and zoo cards. Our past District Director brought bags for people to take home and our new member "to be" will take to the Lord's Place, an organization that helps homeless individuals. It was a win-win for everyone! We went to Lucille’s barbecue for lunch. A member who recently moved far away, was able to meet us. We had a lot of fun.
