Officers are installed for local woman’s club
Thanking her officers and mem
bers for a successful year, Ruth
Douthal turned over the gavel of the
Southport Woman’s Club to Lillian
Gavin.
Mrs. Gavin and the other 1993 of
ficers were installed by Margaret
Harper at the club’s annual Christ
mas dinner held Thursday at Jones’
Seafood House in Long Beach. Mrs.
Harper used different components of
the General Federation of Women’s
Clubs seal to focus on the duties of
the new officers.
As the largest women’s volunteer
organization in the world, the
GFWC "has done many, many
things to change life to the better for
all of us," Mrs. Harper said. "We ac
complish a great deal.”
Starting with a blank, black circle
surrounded by a gold braid, Mrs.
Harper installed Laveme Rehder,
publicity chairman, and Mildred
Averette, chaplain. She pointed out
that in their jobs they bring mem
bers closer together and their in
fluences are encircling like the gold
braid on the seal.
A white bar was placed in the cen
ter of the seal, indicating purity and
trust that treasurer Joanne Shaller
must have in managing the financial
operations of the club.
A red bar signified the job Francey
Wertz has ahead of her as secretary.
As keeper of club records, she needs
courage because she will be telling
future generations about the club’s
accomplishments, Mrs. Harper
slated.
Constancy, represented by the blue
bar, was the word used to describe
second vice-president Margaret
Connaughton. As understudy to the
first vice-president and the presi
dent, yearbook chairman and ways
and means chairman, Mrs. Con
naughton must be able to keep
things moving smoothly, Mrs. Har
per said.
Enlightenment was the catchword
for Joan Lawrence, first vice
president and program chairman,
who will be expected to contribute
to the enlightenment of club mem
bers through monthly programs.
The finishing touch to the seal, a
circle with the GFWC slogan "Unity
in Diversity", was added to show
how the president, Mrs. Gavin, will
bring all members together for
projects during the coming year.
