Allendale Woman's Club

From the GFWC website: From generous gifts to small gestures, GFWC clubwomen have a significant history of generosity when natural or manmade disasters devastate communities. In an effort to assist the Haitian community in the aftermath of the recent earthquake, GFWC has established a Haitian Disaster Relief effort through the GFWC Disaster Relief Fund.

GFWC is collecting donations to directly help those affected by this catastrophe. In addition to CARE and UNICEF, the GFWC Executive Committee recently approved three additional GFWC International Affairs Partners, Heifer International, Plan USA, and Save the Children, as intended recipients of the GFWC “Haitian Disaster Relief” effort through the GFWC Disaster Relief Fund. To ensure monies collected through the GFWC Fund make significant and sustained impact in the relief and rehabilitation effort, the GFWC Executive Committee established guidelines in selecting partners for this specific effort. As the rehabilitation and rebuilding process moves forward in Haiti, GFWC will continue to monitor the delicate situation and work with our International Affairs Partners. 

The collective impact of GFWC clubwomen working together to assist those in need demonstrates the true power of the Federation.

Urinetown … what’s it all about?

A twenty-year drought has caused a terrible water shortage, making private toilets unthinkable. All restroom activities are done in public toilets controlled by a megacorporation called “Urine Good Company” (or UGC). There are harsh laws ensuring that people pay to to use these facilities, and lawbreakers are sent to a penal colony called “Urinetown”, where people are sent but never return. And another reason you should see the hilarious play? It’s because one of our member’s sons is the lead!
