GWC New Members Drop-In, March 17, 2026
GWC is always delighted to include new members in our circle of giving and connection! This winter, 14 new members have already joined GWC, and we hope to welcome even more in the coming months.
On March 17, our Membership Committee hosted a New Members Drop-In at the home of Mary Woodiwiss. Our New Members events provide a smaller gathering for women who have recently joined GWC to meet each other outside our larger quarterly meetings and socials.
What a festive spread of savory and sweet treats, some especially prepared to commemorate St. Patrick’s Day! On offer were: corned beef wraps, pimiento cheese mini-shells, fruit cups, chicken salad pinwheels, Irish soda bread, brownie bites, salted rosemary shortbread, shamrock pretzels, mint chocolate chip cookies, and refreshing punch, wines, and coffee. There was plenty of time to relax and enjoy conversations around the serving table, beverage counters, and living room.
Rachel Strayer, GWC Chair, and Helena Wardlaw, Advisory Board member, led introductions around the circle and spoke about our six standing committees and their committees’ activities within GWC.
GWC welcomes these new 2026 members (as of early March): Dianna Akin, Rose Amemasor, Rachel Blair, Kaye Cook, Ricque Greer, Stephanie Lathren, JulieAnn Mottern, Judye Reed, Hope Scurry, Abbie Sladick, Korey Springman, Kerry Tieman, Sandy Tresino, and Joy Williams.
Special thanks to Mary Woodiwiss for hosting us in her welcoming home, Membership Committee members for providing tasty food and drink, and our newest members for sharing the evening in the friendly company of GWC women!
