Club Projects for 2008-09

 1)  The Club will host a book discussion in conjunction with “One Book, One Community.”  The event will be held on November 11 at the Erlanger Branch of the library.  Other woman’s clubs will be invited to attend. 

2)  The Club will adopt a family at Christmas, the family to be chosen by the Youth Service Center at Tichenor.  Members will be asked to provide gifts for the family and bring them to the December meeting.  We may also want to provide the family with a basket at Easter. 

3) The club will participate in and support the “One to One”, a coaching program of the Partnership for Successful Schools in Kentucky.  This program matches a student struggling with reading with a volunteer who meets with the child once a week at the child’s school.  It provides the child with an opportunity to practice reading and gain self-confidence.  The volunteer commits to the program for one school year after attending a six hour training session. 

4) The Bettie Carter Morgan Woman’s Club approves volunteer hours and contributions for members’ involvement in the following activities:  St. Elizabeth Hospital volunteering, United Christian Volunteers, Lloyd Alumni Association, Friends of Kenton County Public Library, Youth Service Centers, Family Resource Centers, knitting and quilting for the needy, Boone County Extension Service and the Council on Aging.  The motion carried.  The Club will continue its support for the United Christian Volunteers (see below). 

 United Christian Volunteers (UCV) 

Members are encouraged to bring the non-perishable food items, personal hygiene or school supplies to the monthly meetings as our contribution to UCV, or our representative from the Volunteers may make special requests of the members. If you wish, you could also make a monetary donation to take care of the year instead of monthly contributions.  In this difficult economic time, contributions of food are particularly welcome and needed.  Please contribute to the best of your ability.
