2010 – 2011 Summary

The Woman's Club enjoyed another successful year! Through our program speakers, we learned more about  the non-profit organizations that we support throughout the year. These included First Visitor, Partners in Housing, A Kidz Hope, Colorado College scholarship program and Ronald Mc Donald House. 

Our Mystery Tours included a visit to the Simpich  Marionettes and a trip to Canon City for lunch and a cooking demonstration at the Queen Anne Tea House.

One of our continuing projects is A Kidz Hope which is a temporary safe house for girls under 18 years of age. At Christmas, our members purchased clothing, grooming items, purses, lotions and gift certificates for haircuts and movies to give to the girls. 

Our annual fall luncheon and fashion show was another special project. Terra Verde provided the fashions and our members and scholarship recipients modeled.  It was a very entertaining event and the proceeds went to the Empty Stocking Fund and to our Colorado College scholarship fund, which provides two annual scholarships to women  who attend Colorado College. 

Another fundraising event was our annual Bunko party in the spring.  We brought items to donate to Partners In Housing.  

Some of our volunteer projects included serving lunched to senior citizens under the Golden Circle Nutrition Program, cooking meals for Ronald McDonald House, making comfort pillows and knitting caps for breast cancer patients, making packets for First Visitor and participating in The Early Connections Learning Centers' Gingerbread and Jazz annual fundraiser.
