Volume 97 Issue 1 Fall Issue 2016 President’s Letter October 2016 Dear GFWC Members, Our GFWCWyoming Club Women are an amazing group of women. You are very much appreciated by your communities, your GFWCWyoming Administration and by the GFWC Headquarters staff in Washington, DC. Please, remember that thought at the end of a long day spent sorting canned goods or walking dogs at a local shelter. You do make a difference. All of the Wyoming Clubs are off to a great start. I have heard from many of you about immediate projects and long range plans. I hope everyone has a 30-second elevator speech at the ready for a response to, “I didn’t know this town had a Woman’s Club. What do you do?” All of the Club Presidents have received a copy of the Rating Guide. Keep track of activities as you do them. That is much easier than trying to remember later. (I speak from experience!). November is a busy time for Club Treasurers. You need to have your Club dues and assessments to the GFWCWyoming Treasurer Elsie Gray by the end of the month (November 30). While planning your Club projects, remember the three areas of concentration for my administration: veterans, literacy and spay and neuter programs. The needs are different in each community. I also hope you are consciously working to eliminate the adjectives “only” and “just” from your self-descriptions. As in, “I’m only a member,” or “I’m just one of those who can work a couple hours a month.” Replace with “I am a member!” And “I can work 2 hours a month!” As always, take a moment each morning to straighten your tiara, fasten your super-hero cape and go out and change the world! Club Women do this every day! Yours in Federation, Leslie Jo Gatti, GFWC Wyoming President
