Florida Gubernatorial Candidate Alex Sink Rents Clubhouse For Rally

“Women for Alex,” an event that may be more meaningful after the outcome of the November elections, was held on August 18 at the FLWC Clubhouse.

Democratic candidate for governor Alex Sink rented the FLWC Clubhouse for a rally prior to the August primary elections. She was joined by US Representative Debbie Wasserman Shultz, State Senator Nan Rich and Broward County Commissioner Kristen Jacobs as well as approximately 100 supporters in a Democratic love fest for the gubernatorial hopeful.

Club Architect Susan McClellan used the opportunity to share her renderings of the renovated Clubhouse with the women, hoping they will remember FLWC when the vote for grants comes up again.

Membership Chairman Jeannie Burke almost brought the rally to a halt when she crashed to the floor while trying to get a good photo of the candidate.

2010 District 13 Workshop

Alice Sakhnovsky and Bev Hoppe attended the District 13 Workshop on Saturday, May 22 at Volunteer Park in Plantation. Caroline Seabright was on her way but had a close encounter with her garage door and didn't make it. Donna Richardson was hoping to come, but ended up having a flight. Too bad they - and the rest of you - missed it. Both Alice and Bev agreed - it was a hoot!

The new GFWC Florida President Teddy Hulse who was the visiting officer is a lot of fun - her talk was informative but humorous! Her President's Project is "Change or Die!" It has to do with the fact that the state lost a total of 927 members last year and emphasized that we must devise ways to not only increase our membership, but even more importantly, be able to retain the members we have. She announced several new ideas which are being incorporated as state policy. One way the state will save $10,000 is that The Florida Clubwoman - the state newsletter which you all should have been receiving 3 times a year - will be sent out by e-mail only and will be reformatted into 8 x 11 for printing. Because almost all communication will be done by e-mail, she suggested having e-mail buddies for members without e-mail.

District 13 Director Darlene Vlazny is going to be a terrific District Director. She already has the calendar laid out for the next 2 years - guess who's hosting the District Art Show next February!! FLWC!

AND - in 2013, the GFWC Convention is to be held either here or in WPB - but not Miami.

Best of all - there was a wonderful brunch done by the Plantation Acres WC! There were 2 kinds of eggs, sausage, bacon, 2 kinds of French toast, 2 kinds of muffins, fruit and small Danish pastries. We even had mimosas with strawberries! All for $4.00! Yum!

There were 8 raffle baskets - one from each club represented - ours was a spa basket.

We learned that our own Genia Ellis is the new District Secretary. Alice filled in for JoAnn Smith to do the president's report.

And that's the way it was on Saturday, May 22, 2010! The next district meeting will be in October hosted by the Parkland WC.
