Our Southside Ladies (Jac, Julie, Cathy, Alice, Connie, Kim, Mary & Kathy) enjoyed participating in the GFWC Florida Fall Board this September in Orlando. We are proud to say we received our certificate for Website design...2nd place in the Nation!!! Thanks Kim Owens! Our 2024-25 Scrapbook took 3rd place in the digital category! Thanks to Dr. Connie Buttlar for capturing our Club year! Congratulations to Mary Dixon, our LEADS Candidate and to Kathy Scott, a 1st Time Attendee. And we couldn’t be prouder of our own Julie Babcock, one of the 4 recognized Jennie award nominees.  
    Even though we were involved in multiple sessions and workshops...and helped with decorating the tables for Saturday Night, we had time just to relax, enjoy each other’s company and to catch a few “Stars” meandering through the hotel. All the speakers were great, with Astronaut Cady Coleman delivering a fun and exciting Saturday Night address!!! Terry & Shantel wrote a great song for Fall Board...Go D4!!

Nine SWCJAX Members attended the 2024 GFWC FL Spring Convention. Our Club did extremely well in State Awards! Congratulations to ALL the winners! But just as importantly, we had fun & enjoyed each other’s and our GFWC Sisters’ fellowship! During our Friday Night Dinner at Jack’s at the hotel, we supported the Arts by having an artist do a quick caricature drawing of some of us, which has been a long-standing tradition at the Rosen. 

 

 

Julie, Jac, Cathy, Alice, Kim and Connie all spent the weekend learning more about GFWC by attending meetings, giving LOTS of proceeds to Camp Boggy Creek (this terms GFWC FL President's Special Project) and having Out-of-this-World FUN!
