PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Jennifer Lopez, President

2010-2011 Wake Forest Woman’s Club

It is a great honor to serve as the Wake Forest Woman‟s Club President for the 2010-2011

Administration. We are a club that is changing, growing and adapting as our community continues to

grow in leaps and bounds experiencing all the benefits and perils that come with expansion.

For the 2010-2011 Administration, we have set our course with the theme of “Rooted In Service” to

guide us in our endeavors. We will Tend Our Roots which have identified and grounded the Wake Forest

Woman‟s Club within the community through the programs and projects offered by the Community

Service Programs. We will Strengthening our Roots through our relationships and our commitment to

serve along with others where and when there is need. Completing our Theme, we will Cultivate Our

Roots by cultivating the relationships and resources offered to us from our younger sister‟s of the Wake

Forest Junior‟s; from the direction and leadership offered to us by GFWC Federation, GFWC-NC and

District VI.

Finally, we have an exciting year ahead of us with many new adventures, not the least of which is the

launching of the Inaugural Wake Forest Woman‟s Club Antiques and Collectibles Show and Sale in

April 2011. With all consideration of this project, I have challenged the membership of the WFWC to

commit to a club total of 1000 Service Hours performed during the 2010-2011 year. That breaks down to

25 service hours from each member or 3.125 hours per member each month. With so many wonderful

opportunities to service our community and our world, this will be light work!

Together, Rooted In Service, we can not only accomplish our goals, but we can exceed them!

Yours in service,

Jennifer Brighton Lopez, email: [email protected]

THE CLUBWOMAN’S HYMN

Words by Sallie Southall Cotten

Music by Ethel Abbott

Each joy we meet, each friend we greet,

From mountain and from sea;

Hand clasped in hand, as one we stand,

In Faith and Loyalty.

We love our work, no task we shirk,

We serve where needs are found;

A good deed done, is for each one,

To make more joy abound.

A fire with zeal we seek the wealth,

Of nation, state and home.

That all may share, in our welfare,

And none be forced to roam.

Always we seek, to lift the weak,

To help the strong grow wise;

To fill our hearts with love and peace,

That we with them may rise.

Let Carolina womanhood

Arise in all its might;

With purpose strong, to right the wrong,

And make the earth‟s pathway bright.

God guide us in our work and play,

God keep us brave and true;

Our efforts bless, and bring success,

To all we strive to do.

29

A COLLECT FOR CLUBWOMEN

Keep us, oh God, from pettiness;

Let us be large in thought, in word, in deed.

Let us be done with fault-finding

And leave off self-seeking.

May we put away all pretense

And meet each other face to face;

Without self-pity and without prejudice.

May we never be hasty in judgment,

And always generous.

Let us take time for all things:

Make us to grow calm, serene, gentle.

Teach us to put into action our better impulses,

Straightforward and unafraid.

Grant that we may realize it is

The little things that create differences,

That in the big things in life we are at one.

And may we strive to touch and to know

The great, common human heart of us all.

And, oh Lord God, let us forget not to be kind!

Mary Stewart

CLUB LITANY by Alice Ames Winters

Leader: God, our Creator, our Father and our Friend,

from many homes and with many minds we come together this

day, bound each to each as children of Thy Wisdom, Thy Love,

Thy Will.

Response: May day unto day utter speech and night unto night show

knowledge.

Leader: May the Spirit of the Lord rest upon us, the Spirit of Wisdom and

Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel and Right, the Spirit of

Knowledge and the fear of the Lord.

Response: Of us may it be said: In her tongue is the law of kindness,

she looketh to the ways of her household and eateth not

the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her

blessed, saying, “Many daughters have done virtuously,

but thou excelleth them all.”

Leader: Here may mercy and truth meet together, righteousness and peace

kiss each other.

Response: So teach us to number our days that we may apply our

hearts unto wisdom.

Leader: Here shall we stand in the ways and ask where is the good way,

that we may walk therein.

Response: Behind Thy Wisdom and Thy Counsel lieth Thy Love.

Leader: Though we have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries

and all knowledge and though we have all faith so that we could

remove mountains and have not Love, we are nothing.

Response: Will Thou light a candle of understanding in our hearts that

shall not be put out.

Leader: Teach us that we cannot truly pray Thy prayer without a pledge

that we will fulfill the humble part or bring to pass Thy Will and Thy

Kingdom here on earth.

All: Our Father, who art in Heaven….

HISTORY

The main objective of the Wake Forest Woman‟s Club is the betterment of the community in the fields of

social, cultural, civic and educational life of the individual. The Club took as its first major project the sponsorship and establishment of the Wake Forest Library.

The Olivia Raney Foundation gave $3,000 toward a library in Wake Forest. The Town Commissioners

gave their assistance and the library opened in 1962 in the Holding Cotton Building. In 1973, the Club accepted the challenge of the Central Carolina Bank to raise matching funds in the community and use

them for a library building. As a result, $5,056.26 was raised and the library moved into the current

building previously occupied by the Central Carolina Bank. The second major project was to give support and assistance to the restoration of the Calvin Jones House,

Birthplace of Wake Forest College. One club member was elected to the Board of Trustees and another

served as chairman of membership for many years. Both the library and the Calvin Jones House have

continued to receive support from the Club under each succeeding administration. In 1966, the Club approached the town officials with the idea of fluoridating the municipal water supply.

The machinery was set in place and fluoridation was accomplished.

When the polio vaccine drive was held in the community, members of the Woman‟s Club assisted. Over the years, Club members have given help to the schools. Early in the Club‟s existence, support for

Break Through provided many teaching hours for the schools. A Safety Patrol was sponsored at the

elementary schools and uniforms were purchased. Members worked with the Society for Autistic Children and Adults; and with the Wake County Literacy Council, teaching reading to functionally

illiterate adults.

In recent years, other projects have been undertaken to help the Wake Forest Schools. When students at

the middle school took standardized tests, Club members served as proctors. Magazines and “Mini Pages” are donated to the elementary school and cookbooks were donated to the Home Economics

Department of the high school. Also, a high school student is sponsored in the Hugh O‟Brian Youth

Foundation Leadership Conference every year. Each year, the Club supported an academic scholarship for a high school senior‟s freshman year at

college. It was initiated in 1971 for $100 and increased to $500 in 1994 and $600 in 1997.

English was taught to Spanish speaking migrant works. Assistance was given to CROP Walk, Run for

Ileitis and Colitis Foundation, Senior Citizens, Keep America Beautiful, Tour of Historical Homes in Wake Forest, Get Out The Vote and Support the Troops who fought in the Persian Gulf War. Members

organized and delivered Meals-on-Wheels and have supported and taken a leadership role in the

Alzheimer‟s program. Providing friendship and understanding to International students at Southeastern Seminary was an

ongoing project for Club members. Club members assisted and entertained foreign exchange students

attending Wake Forest-Rolesville High School. In the field of art, the Club became an official sponsor of the Wake Forest Cultural Arts Association,

participated in the GFWC-NC Arts Festival and recruited student entries. The Club provided a new

display in the art showcase in the Fidelity Bank. Support was given to the High School Drama Program

(WRAP). In 1995, the Northern Wake Senior Center opened. This was a major accomplishment of the Wake

Forest Community working together. Many members of the Wake Forest Woman‟s Club were involved

in the activities and the Club donated $3,600. In 1996, a new library building was constructed and the Wake Forest Woman‟s Club donated a Japanese

maple in honor of the Charter Members of the club. A plaque identifies the tree, which stands in the

island next to the book return box.

In the summer of 1999 Wake Forest was the host town for the Special Olympics delegation from the

Bahamas. Local organizations were asked to provide one meal for the delegation. The Wake Forest Woman‟s Club provided box lunches for 66 members of the delegation during their trip to Hill Ridge

Farm. The Club donated $100 to the Police Memorial in Wake Forest and $100 to victims of Hurricane

of Raleigh Community Hospital. Valentines were sent to patients at the Veterans Hospital. In 2001, the Scholarship to a Wake Forest-Rolesville High School Senior was increased from $600 to

$700. A greater role in the Town Arbor Day Celebration was undertaken as a co-sponsor. Also, two trees

were donated which were planted at the entrance to the City Cemetery. The Club donated $200 to the Veterans Memorial in Heritage, Wake Forest that was unveiled at a special dedication on November 11,

2001. The Wake Forest Woman‟s Club was invited by the Wake Forest Chamber of Commerce to host

the annual Lighting of Wake Forest. Members served cookies and apple cider to over 1,000 people.

In 2002, a proclamation was issued by Wake Forest Mayor Vivian Jones that declared April 22, 2002 as Woman‟s Club day in recognition of the Wake Forest Woman‟s Club‟s community service during the

past 41 years. 2002 marked the 100th year anniversary of the General Federation of Woman‟s Clubs. The

Club co-sponsored the first annual Wake Forest Community Health Fair. The Club organized & provided hostesses for 13 homes in the new Heritage Wake Forest Residential Development over 3 weekends of

the Parade of Homes. The Club invited other community non-profit organizations to participate as this

was an opportunity for raising funds for our respective charitable projects. Forty educational books were purchased and distributed to area medical offices, the library and child care facilities. The (Germ Patrol)

books were a part of a national effort to educate parents and reassure school age children about

immunizations.

In 2003, the Club contributed $1200 to educational projects in the community which includes the High School Senior Scholarship. A total of $3,274 was donated to charitable projects and organizations.

SCHOLARSHIP AWARD The name shall be the Wake Forest Woman’s Club Continuing Education Scholarship Award. The recipient of this award shall be a member of the senior class of Wake Forest-Rolesville High School, with a class rank in the top 25%. The candidate chosen must agree to attend a four-year college in North

Carolina, and shall represent the Wake Forest Woman‟s Club at the District level for the Sallie Southall

Cotten Scholarship. If the club‟s original winner accepts a full scholarship from some other source, the winner will forfeit the scholarship, which will then be given to the first runner-up. A full scholarship is

defined as including full payment for four years of all tuition, fees, room and board, and textbooks. The Chairman of the Education Department shall give application forms and guidelines of procedures to the high school guidance department in September. She shall also publicize the scholarship in a local

newspaper and invite qualified seniors to apply. Every applicant will submit:

1 An application form. 2. A personal letter explaining why the student desires to continue his/her education, what the student‟s future plans are

and why financial aid is necessary. 3. A high school transcript which includes grade point average, class rank, and SAT scores.

These applications are to be sent directly to the club. The Chairman of the Education Department will select two additional names to form a three-member

judging committee. A least one of the three judges must be an experienced teacher. No person may serve on the judging committee if she would be making a decision concerning a relative. The judging committee will evaluate all applications and choose no less than three, but no more than 10

finalists. The finalists must obtain two letters of recommendation, which should be mailed directly to the club.

1. A letter of recommendation from either the school principal or school guidance counselor or teacher. 2. A letter of recommendation from a business or professional person other than

school personnel. The judging committee shall select the winner after a personal interview with the finalists. Judging shall

be on the following criteria - each category of criteria to be given

A value of 20% will be used in computing the judges‟ decision. (The highest total of percentage points

would indicate the winner.)

A. Character: Based on written recommendations and personal interview by the judges. B. Scholastic Record: Based on school records. C. Demonstration of ambition and leadership.

D. Potential to succeed: Based on personal letter, activities, and responses to judges‟

questions.

49

Scholarship Award (continued)

F. Financial need: Verified by figures from application and information from letters which confirm that financial aid is needed. The announcement of the selection will be made at the first meeting following the judging

committee‟s decision. The winner and his/her parents will be invited to the awards banquet in May, when graduation

gifts may be given by the Education Department and by individual members. A representative of the club shall attend the Awards Day Program at Wake Forest-Rolesville High School, and shall

present some form of recognition, such as a certificate, to our scholarship winner. The amount of the scholarship will be $1500.00. The treasurer will send the check directly to the school of the recipient‟s choice, with a cover

letter explaining that the money can be used only for official expenses such as tuition, fees, room and board, or textbooks; and one half of the scholarship is allocated for the first semester and one

half for the second semester. If the winner drops out of college at the end of the first semester,

the college is requested to return unused money to the Wake Forest Woman‟s Club. Any such monies refunded will be returned to the Club‟s general treasury.
