News GFWC-OK McAlester Fortnightly members are ending their 2009 year as busy as ever. The Cornerstone Creations Department prepared the decorations for the SE District Convention held in McAlester in October in conjunction with the Mainstreet McAlester Car Show. Many thanks to the 13 members of this department of McAlester Fortnightly. Great team work enabled this group to pull this complicated event off. CASA of SE Oklahoma benefitted from the Done in a Day Project. 22 "Save the CASA Kids" bags were donated to the CASA offices which serve our SE District 7 club area. Photos are shown in the Holiday Photo Tab. The Homemakers Department collected Box Tops for Education which were donated to the William Gay Early Childhood Center. This Department gathered items for the local Battered Women's Shelter supporting the GFWC International President's project of Domestic Violence. These items are a holiday donation for 2009. The Ceramic & Crafts department held their Nov 2 fundraiser by providing brunch and numerous items for Silent Auction. Casual Gourmet members continue work on the walking trail at Mike Deak Field improving the landscaping for residents who walk each day for their health. |
