Please join us in celebrating the 122nd Annual State Convention at the Hilton Lisle/Naperville Hotel on Thursday, May 18th – Saturday, May 20th, 2017!
Thursday’s Opening Luncheon features our very own Deb Strahanoski, the GFWC Second Vice-President, who will bring us greetings from GFWC Headquarters. Thursday evening we will celebrate with PCA Illinois’ Roy Harley as he prepares to “set sail” for retirement. Friday, May 19th is Junior Day and the Unity Luncheon, where we will award our Spark Plug of the Year, Junior of the Year, and Outstanding Junior Service Awards and hear from the GFWC Director of Junior Clubs, Jolie Frankfurth. Then we celebrate all our hard work with our Junior Club Awards at the Junior Business Session! Saturday brings more awards as well as the celebration of our Juniorettes. It is a power-packed few days of friendship and federation so don’t miss out!
In the Convention Issue, you will find all you need for this year’s Convention, as well as information on this year’s LEADS seminar, which takes place the day before Convention on Wednesday, May 17th. Encourage your club presidents and vice-presidents as well as any GFWC IL club member interested in leadership to attend. It is an inspirational and motivational day of workshops, presentations and learning.
