Fourteen members of the Community Benefit Club met Thursday, September 18 in the Fellowship Hall of Eureka Methodist Church.
Gloria McLean reported profits from the August Ice Cream Social and Auction that allow the group to make donations to the Eureka Public Library, Greenwood County 4-H Foundation, Greenwood County Historical Society, Piedmont Recreation, and Greenwood County Fair. A thank you note was read from Heather Fuesz who won the quilt offered by raffle.
Plans were shared for the upcoming annual bus trip to Branson, October 16-17, and Holiday Happenings program, November 20. The next regular meeting will be December 18.
Linda Pope gave the program on the Women’s Suffrage movement giving women the right to vote. She had recently visited Seneca Falls, New York, where the first Women’s Rights Convention was held in 1848. Ratified first by states, the 19th Amendment was 75 years in the making, and was passed in 1920. Pope urged members to register and to vote, remembering that each can make a difference.
