We are excited to be the first co-presidents in the history of the St Andrews Womans Club (SAWC) after being chartered 61 years ago by the South Carolina Federation of Women’s Clubs. We along with over 80,000 women around the world are dedicated to improving lives in our communities and globally through volunteering. Our choice to serve as co-presidents is our sincere commitment to lead at all times. As a wise clubwoman said "when one can't, the other one can.”
Our club participated in 46 projects last year and worked for a total of 952 hours. We contributed $12,762.00, and gave $5,998.00 in-kind donations. We chose Killingsworth Home as the recipient for the SCFWC Progress Foundation grant and donated much needed personal hygiene products, womens underwear and bus tokens for women to go to work, job interviews and training. We funded $1250 scholarships for graduates to Palmetto Place and Epworth’s Children’s Home, donated $1000 in support of the USO South Carolina for snacks to thousands of soldiers, gave $1000 to Harbison West Elementary snack pack program, donated $950 for two Tri-Dac scholarships , $1500 to Seven Oaks Elementary for summer reading books and $500 for eyeglass replacement funds, art supplies for the Children’s Hospital, Sharing God's Love, Virginia Food Pantry, Operation Smile, Brian Center, Seniors at Seven Oaks Park, our Library box, plus many others.
Our motto is “ALWAYS HAVE A WILLING HAND TO HELP SOMEONE”, as you might be the only one who does. We as women can accomplish much. Let’s have fun this year using our gifts for others!
Be the willing hand to help someone
