Lawrenceville Woman’s Club
The Lawrenceville Woman’s Club assisted with “Hoops for Hope,” a fundraiser event at the Gwinnett Extended Care for Partnership Against Domestic Violence (PADV). The residents shot hoops to help support the local PADV chapter. All funds raised will go towards providing education, food, and safe shelter for victims of domestic violence.

Minnie Bell Johnson is described by her fellow clubwomen as the happiest person they know, with a smile that brightens the whole room. Having just celebrated her 100th birthday, she has many reasons to smile. During her time with the Portland Woman’s Club (Oregon), she has served as both the club treasurer and club president. She’s still an active member to this day, voting on issues and club elections, and participating in projects like handing out personal care products to homeless women at the Rose Haven Women and Children’s Day Shelter.
