The 2nd development on the right on Maplewood is Stonebriar
(just past Egret Cove development) at the gate ring the house

The purpose of this event is to raise funds to help defray the cost for anyone who is interested in
attending fall board in Orlando In September.
You can bring a new purse, gently used purse, funny purse, tote bag, etc. (the purse acts as the "wrapping"). Inside
you can include such things as wine, body products, books, gift certificates to movies, restaurant, spa, book store,
Starbucks, etc. you can also do a certificate for a service such as dinner, dog sitting, dessert a month or special
occasions, etc. We ask that everyone brings one purse but you can bring as many as you like. The more purses you
bring - The more money raised and more competition and fun!!! Also you can bring friends.
Please think about friends whom you would like to introduce to the Junior Woman’s Club. Who
would you like to have by your side when you are working on our projects or sharing a social
event? Or, maybe you are just acquainted with someone who is looking to make some friends
and give back to community. Invite them to come and see us in action at our events.
If you have any questions, please contact Sheryl Molter by email moltergfwcfl@gmail.com
Hope you can join us for this fun event!

International Outreach
Bonnie Larson
I would like to thank our local businesses that supported this cause World of Rugs and
Lighthouse of the Arts Center. I received the last donation on June 11, 2014 from one of our
local businesses, Janus Security Systems Inc., for our shredding event. This brought the total
raised to $510, Wahoo! We were able to send a check to INMED - Partnerships for Children
(Maternal & Child Health) for the Face the Challenge Campaign designed exclusively for the
General Federation of Women's Club.
I also presented a Certificate of Appreciation to Monica Lewis, owner of Total Shredding, LLC,
in recognition of her help with our event! She was surprised & delighted with the certificate!
