ARTS & CULTURE
GFWC Macclenny Chairman: Linda Royal
Arts and culture are vital to enhancing our quality of life, enriching human experience and perspective. Art education fosters critical thinking, focus, creativity, and collaboration, while cultural awareness broadens our ability to communicate and connect with diverse people and experiences.
Our Contribution: The Arts and Culture CSP supports our local Drama club each year. Our yearly Arts & Craft competition encourages our members to show off their talents. We benefit from the October craft bazaar by getting vendors to participate by renting booths to sell their wares.
OUR ADVANCEMENT AREAS
SOME ORGANIZATIONS WE SUPPORT
HEIFER INTERNATIONAL
Heifer is one of the International projects we support! The concept is to give a hand up to those in need. Then they are to pay it forward! Families are given a farm animal and taught how to care for it to make better lives for their families. An example would be chickens. The chickens give eggs which can be a healthy part of their diet or sold or traded for other products. Having a rooster can result in many chickens to sell, etc. Even though we strongly support charities in our local area and see the needs every day, we can at the same time, support world projects that help uplift people from poverty and disease.
