FUND RAISING
The GFWC Hartford Women's Club sponsors two fund-raisers during the year to finance all the projects and programs
we support. These are our most labor-intensive undertakings. Everyone helps out and we have a lot of fun in the
process.
AMERICAN ACCENTS: A FESTIVAL OF FINE ARTS AND CRAFTS
Held the second Saturday in August, the Accents show brings 120 exhibitors together along the Rubicon River. Food and entertainment
are provided.
THE GREAT HARTFORD CRAFT EXPOSITION
Christmas officially begins in Hartford at this annual event, held at the local high school in conjunction with the Hartford Lions Club
Pancake Day. Visitors can browse over 100 arts and crafts booth filled with holiday wares and gift items.

ON-GOING PROJECTS
GFWC members and clubs work on projects in six main area: arts, conservation, education, home life, international
affairs, and public affairs. In 2006, GFWC and its members raised nearly $32 million on behalf of more than 230,000
projects, and volunteered more than 8.4 million hours. Under the GFWC umbrella, every year the Hartford Women's
Club considers new and exciting projects and programs to support.
FILE OF LIFE
In our newest project, the Hartford Women's Club has undertaken bringing the FILE OF LIFE to Hartford. Endorsed by both the Hartford
Police Department and the Hartford Fire & Rescue Squad, the FILE OF LIFE card enables medics responding to an emergency to obtain a
quick medical history when the patient is unable to offer one. To learn more about this program, click here!
GFWC-WI STATE PROJECT: EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES FOR CHILDREN - PEDIATRIC JUMP KIT BAGS
GFWC-Wisconsin has adopted the Pediatric Jump Kit Bag Project, working with all GFWC clubs across Wisconsin. The project goal is to
equip every state EMS department ambulance with these life-saving bags, which gather all pediatric equipment into one color-coded,
time-saving bag. Learn more about the Pediatric Bag State Project here.

The first meeting of the Hartford Women’s Club Book Club was very successful. Five attended and we had a rousing discussion of The

We have chosen Firefly Lane for our next book. We will discuss this at our gathering on June 24. For more information, contact us at the
