Glenda O’Shields KM club’s
Woman Of the Year for ‘99
Glenda O’Shields has been
named Kings Mountain
Clubwoman of the Year. A vital
part of the community,
O’Shields has been long active
in local civic, cultural and edu-
cational affairs.
All who know O’Shields say
she lives by Sallie Southall
Cotten'’s tenet, “life is a miracle
and a mystery. To live in our
world is an opportunity and a
privilege. How to live is a secret
but we can learn it by persistent
effort.” o
In GFWC KM President Betty
Gamble’s words, “Like Sallie,
Glenda is enjoying and improv-
ing life’s opportunities by. using
her abilities and talents to grow,
with all of those whom she
comes in contact with.” ©
O’Shields civic activities are.
numerous and diverse. Besides
checking on shut-ins and taking
them food in her four wheel ., -
drive, she also serves onthe . 1.
board of Directors for the...
Cleveland Memorial Library
and is this year’s vice president.
She is also working towards
getting a library for the Grover.
area. Other volunteer work that
O’Shields performs includes
mentoring and tutoring stu- . :
dents at Boiling Springs
Elementary School. , -. .- |
O’Shields is active in Boiling
Springs United Methodist;
Church as a teacher of the
Young Adults Class. She also,
serves as chair of the Worship
Committee and Wednesday
Night Bible Study Food
Committee. She also teaches
Vacation Bible School.
O’Shields has many interests
including geneology, comput-
ers, quilting, smocking, and yo-
ga. Aleng with a group of
ladies, she made a quilt that
brought $1,750 to the Abuse
Shelter and Flood Victims Relief
GLENDA O’SHIELDS
Fund. O’Shields has been active
in: Alpha Delta Kappa and Phi
Delta Kappa and attends their
state and national conventions.
‘ She is is member of the Retired
Teachers Association.
Since her retirement as an ed-
ucator, O’Shields has been espe-
cially active in the Kings
Mountain Woman's Club. In the
past three years she has served
as chairperson for the club’s
- Educational Department, and
“stressed the importance of the
need for club women volun-
teers in the school system.
O’Shields also instigated a
. program for a club meet regard-
. ing Kings Mountain school test
* scores. This program gave club
embers an indication of the
- excellent job being done in the
* Kings Mountain School System
not only for the “average” and
“above average” students, but
for those with learning disabili-
ties as well. This year she has
implemented the Epsilon Sigma
Omicron reading program giv-
ing direction in planned read-
ing. ESO provides club women
with a structured reading pro-
gram which is not only educa-
tional, but stimulates the desire
for self-improvement.
Each year, the Kings
Mountain Woman's Club gives
a $1,000 scholarship to a high
school senior. O’Shields re-
viewed the past procedures and
then set up a new process
where not only did the club
continue to secure high school
applicants, but a personal
interview system for each appli-
cant was put into place. Each
student who is interviewed is
asked the same set of questions
and the club interviewers rate =
them on a predetermined scale. -
Once the winner is chosen,
O’Shields notifies the other ap-
plicants and works with the -
winner to prepare for the dis-
trict contest, then for the state
contest if applicable. :
Another important activity.
that O’Shields takes part in with
the Woman's Club is their an-
nual Fall Festival fund raiser. =
Last year, this event raised over ..
$6,000 in profits and served ap-
proximately 900. folks a home-
made turkey dinner with all the
trimmings. For the feast,”
O’Shields made schedules to
aid in the timely preparation of
the food. She also telephoned
and placed 41 members and
non-members of schedules to
prepare, cook, and serve the
meals, which took her'over 67
. hours of personal work.
Other Kings Mountain
Woman's’ Club work that
O’Shields has contributed in-
cludes serving on the Gideon
and Kings Mountain Little
Theater committees. She also
contributes to the club’s month-
ly newsletter. She worked with
the club’s cotillion partner, the
American Association of
University Women, on the
Sister-to-Sister projects for girls
