GFWC STARS Juniorette Club of Westminster October 2010 Newsletter

Please show this to your moms!

We have made Membership a Priority! We have 10 dues paying members right now and want and need to double that number. That means EVERYONE is responsible for getting at least ONE new member for our club. Be proud of the volunteer work you do for this community. When you are proud - you will share that feeling with your friends and they will want to be a part of this club too. Talk, invite, and bring them to the Oct meeting.

Sunday October 24 from 3-5pm is our next meeting. We will work on Santa's Workshop - so think about what craft you'd like to do and bring a sample or picture. Bring friends because we need more than 10 crafts!

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month so we will hold a DVA pajama party. If you can - please bring a new pair of pajamas to our October meeting to donate to the DV shelter.

Junior Fall Conference was on Saturday Oct 2nd in Cumberland. Thanks to Michele who attended and did a fabulous job with the fundraising. We stuffed lots of backpacks with fun activity items as our service project that day, learned about fire safety and even did some yoga! (She earned 6 hours of service!)

The 6th annual Chili Cook Off is Sunday, October 17th at the AG Center. The STARS are scheduled to work the moon bounce and do face painting. You can arrive as early as 9am to help set up and fill balloons and you can stay until 6pm to help clean up. The cookoff is from 1-4pm - so we MUST have people there during those hours but if you work the whole time you can earn 9 hours of service! I will be out of town - so let Becca or Michele know when you can work and check in and out with them that day!

Halloween Parade - Tuesday October 26th 6:30 pm - 8pm at the old Fire Hall on Main Street. The STARS serve as runners for the judges. (2 hours of service available)

Western District meeting: The next Western District meeting is Saturday, October 30th. Kim Fischer is the district Arts Chairman - so she will be going (hopefully) so please look at your calendars NOW and see if you can come with us. Reservations are due Oct 15th - so check NOW and let me know! Attire is casual and the meeting is about 45 minutes away. We will meet at my house at 8am and I will drive. Everyone is asked to wear some sort of hat and bring old eyeglasses to donate to this meeting. We'll be home around 4pm.

November's STARS meeting: we be on the 14th at Emily Rosenthal's house from 3-5pm.

We will be putting the last minute touches on our play and Santa's Workshop.

Santa's Workshop - December 11 - Please mark your calendars NOW if you haven't already done so and invite a prospective member to help you with your craft. We will meet at the church Friday afternoon 4-6pm Dec 10th to set up and practice the play. Everyone should be at the church on Saturday by 12:30 at the latest for the workshop. Plan to stay for clean up which is usually finished by 4:30pm.

Holiday Slumber Party: After the workshop clean up - you can meet me at my house for our annual holiday slumber party. Everyone brings a $5 wrapped gift and we will play a game to see who gets which gift. Bring sleeping bags, pillows, pjs, toothbrush, etc.

Hope to see you ALL really soon, Mrs. C
