Health and Wellness
Chairperson, Liz Mikutowski
The human body, mind, and spirit comprise our health and wellness. To improve our well being, we must address three key components: nutrition, disease prevention, and physical and emotional care. This Community Service Program aims to explore the various opportunities for awareness and advancement of each of these vital areas.
Activities and donations include:
We have five (5) Community Service Programs: Arts and Culture, Environment, Education and Libraries, Health and Wellness, and Civic Engagement and Outreach. These core program committees provide vehicles for organizing our volunteer efforts. Each committee chairwoman coordinates with various organizations and agencies in the community. She funnels their volunteer or donation needs to the club members serving on her committee or to the entire club when necessary. These committees are also ways we connect with each other to network and build friendships.

Arts and Culture
Chairperson, Linda Berry
The study of art and culture enriches the human experience. Art education improves problem solving and critical thinking skills, builds focus and perseverance, and nurtures creativity, confidence, and collaboration. Cultural awareness promotes effective communication and profoundly increases the ability to appreciate and enjoy a variety of new people and experiences.

GFWC members promote education in both children and adults. We aim to help others, while we also continue to learn.
