EAGFWC Press Release

Please, Save the Date!

The Exeter Area GFWC is excited to announce that 2013 marks our 60th anniversary of community service and a celebration is planned to commemorate the milestone on June 8th, 2013 at the Exeter Inn!

This dynamic organization has been serving the public for the past 60 years with events both large and small with 70+ dedicated volunteers!  One of the larger efforts the group has initiated is the Swasey Pavilion Project on the Swasey Parkway.  For the past seven years, the annual "Expanding Your Horizons" (EYH) Math and Science Conference attracts over 200 girls from all over New Hampshire for a free all day conference.  Examples of ongoing projects include: support for women serving in the armed forces, knitted caps for newborns and cancer patients, scholarships for high school students as well as a scholarship for a woman wishing to go back to college.  The club also adopts up to three families each year supplying holiday food baskets, birthday gifts and other need items.  Local libraries are also supported with monetary donations.  The group also co-sponsors and provides manpower for candidate debates and supports a variety of other non-partisan civic causes.

While our 60th celebration has many goals, one ver special goal is to donate our profits from the event to restoring the Exeter Senior Center.  The Senior Center is used by many non-profits like the Exeter Area GFWC for meetings, but most importantly, it's used for local seniors to gather for fun events and entertainment.  It's also used for the senior and home bound residents meal program, Meals on Wheels.  It is in need of a full remodel and the Exeter Area GFWC will donate 100% of the profits from the event, plus our members' time and talents to making the Senior Center a beautiful functional place for seniors and clubs to gather!  Exeter Hospital signed on as our first sponsor and has generously donated $1000 towards our project!
