GFWC (General Federation of Women’s Clubs) Starbuck won, over all GFWC clubs internationally, the Creative Fundraiser Award at the GFWC International Convention this month in New Orleans. The fundraising activity was the selling of chances to win one of two shepherd hooks with the Starbuck medallion of the star and buck. Pictured are the members of the 2021 Executive Board of their club that came up with the creative hook idea and decision for using it as a fundraiser. Pictured are: Lorie Billehus, Mona Gregersen, Deb Thompson, Lois Brecht and Marlene Hippe. Missing is Minette Johnson. Funds are used for improvement projects and activities that enhance the lives of their community. GFWC is a volunteering club, assisting community projects and activities, reaching out internationally. Women are welcome to join by contacting any of those pictured above or any other GFWC Starbuck member. Interested women are invited to participate in the club’s first get together this Fall, on  August 11 at  7 p.m.
