What We DO

The GFWC Hartford Women's Club sponsors one fund-raiser during the year to finance all the projects and programs we support. This is our most labor-intensive undertaking.  Everyone helps out and we have a lot of fun in the process. 

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 90 arts and crafts booth filled with holiday wares and gift items.   

• Books for Babies (club donates book to Hartford Library in honor of a member's grandchild's birth)
• Hartford Christmas Committee (members donate gifts for "teens")
• Literacy program donations to Jack Russell Memorial Library
• Relay for Life 
• Special Olympics
• Volunteers for a Beautiful Hartford
• Annual sponsorship for a Schauer Center program

Hartford Women's Club Hosts "Iron Chef" Competition Christmas Party

This year's "Secret Ingredient" was pineapple. Many great appetizers, salads, main dishes, drinks, and desserts were made by club members for our annual event

Barb Pontow took first place with her pineapple pretzel salad.  Sue Enquist took second with her pineapple chicken and Angie Boyer took third for her pineapple bourbon slush  All the dishes were delicious and calories were not counted by anyone!

Jeri Mallow came to speak to the group with a theme of "Calming Through Chaos".  Very appropriate for our world today.
