Lincoln Woman s Club
GFWC Lincoln Woman’s Club officers and board are still meeting monthly, though membership meetings have been placed on hold due to current COVID-19 restrictions. Several socially distanced fundraisers and community projects have been completed by the club during the past 2 months. Of special note is the annual LWC Operation Santa project that this year provided active American troops overseas with over $2,900 worth of food, toiletries, gift items and 250 holiday stockings. The local community and club members contributed an additional $1,000 in donations for the supplies including postage. Additionally, the club donated and filled 20 stockings for the Operation Care Package program that also supports deployed military as well as provided stockings and gifts for a local facility that provides temporary housing for veterans. Additional supplies for the local facility were provided by Matt Arnold of Grieme-Arnold Insurance Agency.
