 Our club has several fundraisers a year at Buffalo Wild Wings.   The funds will be used to support our charitable efforts in the Four Corners community.  

 Our 12th Annual Luncheon, Fashion Show and Expo was canceled due to the pandemic.  Instead we chose to do two online auctions, A PASSION FOR PURSES and A TISKET, A TASKET.  

We raised nearly $3,000 

 We are also supported by the Lakeland Magic basketball team, who donate a percentage of the money earned, at select games, from ticket sales to our club. This money is is then donated by us to K9's for Cops Polk County Program. 

 Fundraising helps us learn more about the communities we serve. As well as raising money, it's a great opportunity for our club to raise awareness of GFWC and it helps members develop skills and confidence. Fundraising is a great way to go out into our community, use our networks and inspire others to get involved. 

Along with volunteering and raising money, we have fun together.  This year we had our Christmas luncheon at Buffalo Wild Wings. Member Susan Chase made luncheon favors. At some of our meetings and outings we have also:

• made cards to send to Veterans
• created beautiful beaded bracelets, with the guidance of one of our members
• watched a musical at Polk State College theater
• had lunch and toured Bok Gardens for one of our annual Christmas parties
• decorated hats for the children at St. Jude's hospital
• and the list goes on and on.

We encourage you to attend one of our monthly meetings and get a feel for who we are.
