January 24, 2023
On January 16, 2023, the GFWC Junior Woman’s Club of Westminster (MD) and the GFWC Woman’s Club of Westminster (MD) joined forces to honor Martin Luther King’s service to our nation through a “Day of Service” project. The team collected donated snacks, consolidated them into three boxes of goodies, and delivered a box each to the Carroll County Sherriff’s Department, Westminster City Police, and the Maryland State Police. This GFWC project has become an annual event to show our appreciate for the service of our front-line workers.

Each year April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Kathleen Sweeney, Executive Director/Forensic Interviewer of The Child Advocacy Center of Tuscola County (CACTC), spoke at GFWC Millington Junior Women's Club (Michigan) monthly meeting and told members that 10% of the 235 reported cases of child abuse in 2017 in Tuscola County were from Millington Township, including Millington. It inspired them to take action with the "Color Me Blue" Project.
