The Lake Erie District was very pleased to receive $500 from the GFWC/OFWC as part of the service project connected with hosting the GFWC International Convention in Cleveland in June. The members voted to share the money between two worthy projects in the community. One hundred dollars ($100) made the members patrons of the “Playground of Possibilities” in South Euclid, Ohio. This totally accessible playground is a wonderful addition to Bexley Park. Now all members of a family can have fun swimming, playing tennis or playing on the playgrounds no matter what their abilities. Members of the Mayfield Women’s Club, Inc./GFWC/OFWC helped to build the playground and brought it to the attention of the Lake Erie District members. In our photo album, Mayfield member Chris Ticknor is shown with Lake Erie District Norma Adams presenting the donation check to South Euclid Mayor Georgene Welo.
Four hundred dollars ($400) was donated to the Cleveland Foodbank, which was the GFWC convention service project. The Foodbank received food donations at that time, so our donation was really a bonus! The Foodbank also had a matching program, so our $400 was really worth $800! LED President Adams presented the check to Mary Ann B. Meitin, District Response Manager for the Foodbank. In this last year, the Foodbank received 27.3 million pounds of food that translates to 21.4 million nutritious meals for the needy of our area!
