President~s Message

Director of Junior Clubs

The GFWC Illinois convention was, as usual, very interesting and enjoyable. Many of our 10th District clubs were recognized for their achievements during the Awards sessions. To those winners, I send my "Congratulations" for your extraordinary efforts and for reporting on them. At the conclusion of the last Awards session, convention delegates received a booklet containing all 1st Place winners with brief narratives of each award-winning project. These narratives can be an excellent source for project ideas for other clubs.
Since returning from convention, I've been very busy filling out required state forms and working on the needs of our district in preparation for the next administration. Elsewhere in this newsletter, you will see a listing of the district's 2012-2014 administration which is complete with the exception of two unfilled positions: a co-chairman for Program Bureau and a co-chairman for Ways and Means. I ask that you please commit to filling these muchneeded positions by giving me a call. To those who are listed, I say "Thank you" for agreeing to take a leadership role in our district.
Each club treasurer in the District will soon receive a request to supply information on the club's 2011-2012 contributions for inclusion in the 2012-2013 district yearbook. Please list each organization by name with the respective dollar amount, or in-kind amount, donated.
I recently had the honor of conducting the new officer installation for the Antioch Junior Woman's Club. At that event, the club recognized Margaret Cole and presented her with a miniature rose plant for her having volunteered the most hours in service to others
during the past year.	Congratulations, 
Margaret!
I hope to see each of you at the Appreciation Luncheon on Friday, June 22, at which time we will honor Nancy Cummings, our 2010-2012 10th District President.
In Federation friendship, Marty Butler
President Elect
