Message from the RWC President
RWC President's Message 2022-23
A letter from our newly elected RWC President, Nancy Converse
 
RWC Members,
Thank you so much for the honor of being your President.  I am delighted to be working with such a wonderful group of ladies.  However, I have some big shoes to fill.   During the last year that Joan Hughes was our President, we accomplished much while facing the daunting responsibility of dealing with Covid.  Please look below at all we did last year:
 
  • We awarded Four NOVA scholarships for a total of $8,000.00.
  • We Donated $2,000.00 to install a Children's Garden at the Haymarket/Gainesville Library.
  • We Donated $2,000.00 to Team Quest to assist with programs for at-risk teens.
  • Community-wide collection to benefit The Haymarket Food Pantry raised $20,245.00.
  • Fundraising produced $16,000.00 to give to this year's charity, Boxes of Basics.
  • Back-to-school community-wide collection netted $5,540.00 in checks and $4750.00 in school supplies.
  • Coats for Kid's Drive collected 506 new coats, mittens, and socks for the children at the SERVE shelter.
  • Two Regency blood drives netted a total of 67 pints.      
  • We baked 68 dozen cookies and muffins and distributed them to our local helpers.
  • A community-wide eyeglass collection netted 262 pairs of glasses.  
  • Donated 40 boxes (6,000 diapers) and delivered them to SERVE for their shelter families.
  • Home-bound seniors were delivered twelve-holiday baskets.
  • We collected 186 children's gifts for local children in need.
  • We supported Pace West School by donating $200.00 for their Teacher Lunch and 96 baked goods for their Harvest Festival.
  • Monthly luncheon collections for Haymarket Food Pantry collected 1,028 pounds of food and $8,726.00 in monetary donations.
This year looks to be another busy, productive year.  In addition to many of our ongoing projects, Pat Valle and the RWC Community Services Committee are working on several new projects.  Our first project of the year is our Back-to-school supplies collection which will take place at the clubhouse on July 26th.   Please let Pat know if you can help with this valuable collection.
 
​Our Vice President of Fundraising, Mary Howell, and her committee have been busy planning for several events this year, including the October 1st ROCKTOBERFEST.   This year's fundraising efforts will benefit two charities:  Fostering Futures and ACT's Safe House.  Fostering Children supports 18-year-olds who age out of the Foster Care System.  ACT's Safe House offers emergency shelter for women and children fleeing abusive situations.
 
Thank you to all of you for completing the survey at the June meeting.  Hopefully, we will implement some of your suggestions as we plan for the year.   
 
I hope to see you at our first meeting of the year on September 1st at 11:30 am.  Our Program Vice President, Diana Taplin, and her committee have an exciting program planned.  Our speaker, Mike Washvill, is a docent at Vint Hill Farm Station Spy Museum.  Who knew bucolic Vint Hill had such an exciting history?  Learn about Madame X, spies in our backyard, and the woman who played an essential role at Vint Hill.  You won't want to miss it. 
 
Have a wonderful summer.   
Nancy Converse
