GFWC Varina Woman's Club highlighted Women in the Military during its November, 2019 meeting. This is one of the "7 Grand Initiatives" selected for the General Federation of Women's Clubs during International President Mary Ellen Brock's administration. Female members of the Varina High School NJROTC Color Guard presented the colors. Sgt. Amanda DiClerico from the 392nd Army Band at Ft. Lee sang the National Anthem. Pictured above is US Army Col. Hollie Martin, Garrison Commander at Ft Lee, Virginia and Mary Dick, Club Public Issues Chairman. Col. Martin told us about her journey from West Point to Ft. Lee and some of the challenges women in the military face.
Below left, Club Members attended the GFWC Virginia Conference August 12 - 14, 2016 in Blacksburg, VA. After the tragedy at Virginia Tech in 2007, GFWC Virginia Clubwomen set a goal to raise money to purchase a new ambulance for the school. This was a huge task to tackle, but in 2010 the vehicle was donated. What a tremendous project! The ambulance is still being used today, and the GFWC Virginia emblem is proudly displayed.
Below right, club members joined other GFWC Virginia members for GFWC Virginia Legislative Day in February, 2018. We met with our state delegates, had lunch, and heard an informative presentation from Timothy A. McDermott, Feed More Chief Development Officer.
