President's Report
Joyce Hundhausen 464-0209, joyce@svs.com
What a wonderful meeting we had this month. In my
opinion, the outpouring of love we have for our members is a testimony to what this club
is all about. We received a beautiful Thank You Card from Sue Dees. At this time, I would
like to thank Ann Warren and Jeanette Wells for helping with the raffle. The Village of
Glendale Heights and Our Emergency Fund donated to benefit Sue, and mostly all the members
for helping Sue. Sue has been an outstanding member in our club.
It is also good to see many more members have signed up for the
various open committees. It is my hope in the future, to have short meetings, so that we
can socialize afterward. So please have your committee reports ready, short, and to the
point. All of our members will appreciate this.

Greetings everyone,
Hard to believe we're only two months into the new year and this club is moving ahead at
full speed! A huge thank you and kudo's to Joyce Hundhausen for chairing the Candlelight
Bowl again this year and to Judy Huyvaert, Jeanette Wells and everyone else who joined
forces for this event. Together as a team, they make it seem so simple and yet, the amount
of work that goes into it is endless. Thank you for a great charity event.
It's wonderful to see the club is growing with new membership. To our newest members,
welcome aboard and please let us know if there's anything we can do to help you get
comfortable and active with this amazing club.
See you all on March 2 ~
Laura
Immediate Past President/Reporting
Judy Huyvaert, 894-8615, jhuyvaert1@hotmail.com
Thank you to all of you that have signed up as committee
chairs or on committee's. Please remember that the final step for all the work you do is
to turn in a "report". I have plenty of report forms for all you girls. Anything
you do as club work should have a report filled out for it- not only does it help us keep
track of club work, it helps the next person who may do that activity or event and makes
it much easier for us to fill out Federation report forms.

Candlelight Bowl!

Hi Ladies!
The Candlelight Bowl is this weekend!!!!! There is not to much to
report, except that we did not sell out and the raffle tickets, well the club may have to
pay for some, unless we sell them at the event. Not reaching our goals here does affect
our donation to our charities. Remember, that they are County Agencies and have probably
helped people in our community as well as others. The DuPage Shelter and CASA have been
notified of this event. CASA has already spoken to us and I am trying to get The DuPage
Family Services rep out to talk to us in April or May.
On a better note, I want to thank Judy and Jeanette for their
unwavering help in this event. They are great to work with and have great ideas. I also
want to thank the members who went all out and sold a great deal of the admission and
raffle tickets, you ladies are the greatest.
P.S., we did sell all the raffle tickets and it
turned out to be a great night. More details to follow in next months newsletter.
Thank You!

The GHJWC board has approved sponsorship of a Blood Drive! It
will be held on Saturday, April 16th ( exact times to be determined) at Glenside Fire

being a donor. I will have a sign-up sheet at our March 2nd meeting for both volunteers
& donors. Please call me if you have any questions. Judy Huyvaert, 894-8615, jhuyvaert1@hotmail.com

Please safety pin your name to your shirt. Cost for embroidery is $9 for logo or $12 for

Newsletter and Web Site
Laura Burke (630) 653-5663 lburke3942@aol.com
Surprisingly, there were no suggestions for a name for the
newsletter. That's too bad because the prize for the winning name was a trip to Hawaii,
all expenses paid including a new wardrobe for a week! In addition to that, there was a
complete home makeover that would have taken place while the winner was sunning in
Hawaii! That contest is now over. So, at this time, the newsletter will be called
"Newsletter" until something better comes along.
The website is really shaping up! If you haven't visited it
lately, be sure to check it out at "ghjwc.org".
Character Counts! Coalition
The pillar of the month for March is CARING.

Hi Everyone,
Well, Social has been busy organizing events for
the next couple of months This weekend we have the famous Candlelight Bowl which I am very
proud of Joyce and the club for pulling it together once again for a great evening.
In March we have two events booked. The first is
on March 11th at the home of Ann Warren it is a Bunco Night! For those of you who do not
know it is a very simple game that is played with only three dice. If you can count (even
if you need to use your fingers and toes) you will be able to play this game it is super
simple. All we ask you to bring is either an appetizer or a dessert and five dollars which
goes to the prizes at the end of the night. Casual attire and this is a great time to
bring a guest if you want to. Please RSVP to me by 3/7 so we will have a head count to be
able to tell our great hostess for seating. For those of you who have been before please
pass on the word how much fun it is! This will begin at approximately 7:30p.
Second we will be holding our annual chili
cookoff at the clubhouse directly across from Jewel on the east side of Bloomingdale Road
just north of Army Trail Road. This is also a great place to bring guest to. With this
event you are asked to make a batch of your famous chili and bring it in a crock pot The
cost is ten dollars per person and for that the club provides unlimited wine, beer, pop,
salad etc for the evening. We actually have a judging by the guests and prizes are awarded
at the end of the evening. This is also a great place to bring guests so they get to see
us in a more casual atmosphere. Barb Kuminowski was kind enough to get the clubhouse again
and her and her committee did a great job last year, which will be big shoes to follow in.
Please RSVP to this event ASAP so we can plan accordingly. This event will begin at
approximately 7:00p. This is also an opportunity to invite spouses and significant others
as it is an informal which jeans being appropriate. Any questions please feel free to
contact myself or Donna and if you have any suggestions for future events you can either
call or email me and we will be able to schedule them. Social is for everyone!
With hugs,
