SKOWHEGAN — The General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC) Semper Fidelis Club is off to a great start in 2022, holding it’s first meeting via Zoom speaker Sarah Irish from the Senior Planning Center.
All members, both young and mature, learned some tips for planning their retirement.
Eight new members were welcomed and already actively involved with various club projects and events.
New members Jan Clark, Jill Longstaff, Lisa Miller, Taylor Osgood, Mary Pono, Megan Smith, Rachel Stymist and Amanda Taylor join other club members with great regard to new ideas and tremendous support.
Belonging to an international women’s organization dedicated to community improvement by enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service, members are engaged to working with the community. Making a difference in the communities include supporting local libraries, education principles, art and cultural programs and events, civic engagement, environmental projects, and healthy lifestyles are some of the community service programs the club advocates for.
Plans are underway this year for a tour of the Travis Mills Foundation Retreat, STEM project, Yellow Tulip Project, Autism Awareness and a Chocolate & Cheers raffle, to name a few.
