SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2017 President’s Message by Joan Bruce

I hope you have all enjoyed these past few weeks of wonderful summer weather. I know I have. It was great to be with so many of you at our fabulous Thursday evening programs in July. Thanks to Pat Van Alyea for hosting Song Tran as we learned about the aftermath of life in Vietnam upon the departure of the American forces. Also thanks to Janice Marcus for hosting her husband, Steve, who gave us a sense of his vision and the planning and coordination entailed to present Sculpture Milwaukee, a signature set of sculptures lining Wisconsin Avenue.

Thanks, too, to all who attended our June fashion show in support of the Ballroom Beautification Project. As I mentioned in the last newsletter, Club membership alone will not sustain the Woman’s Club. We are reliant on outside business to remain fiscally sound. The Ballroom was last decorated in the mid 1990s; that’s twenty years ago! The carpet is worn and the drapes are dated and tired; it’s time for a fresh new look. Which is why I am excited to announce our special fundraising effort:

A steering committee is forming to spearhead an effort to raise $130,000 to make our new Ballroom possible. This is a challenging goal for a membership of about 270, and I am so inspired by the generosity of members who are already stepping forward to help.

Our formal fundraising effort will take place this fall. Please be welcoming and generous when your fellow Club member calls. Our investments will provide for new drapes and sheers, new cushions and pillows, new carpet as well as new wallpaper, and updates to the second floor ladies lounge. This work is needed to ensure that we remain a venue of choice for weddings and other civic meetings. You can be proud that your investment today will positively impact our Club’s future for decades to come.

Thank you, in advance, for considering special support for this important effort.

September/October 2017 Community Outreach...Get Involved This Fall! 2017 Fall Food Drive - Hunger Task Force by Ellie Jacobson

The Woman’s Club of Wisconsin has collected food for the Hunger Task Force Food Bank each fall for many years. There continues to be a great need in our community. The food bank delivers food absolutely free of charge to a local network of 80 food pantries, soup kitchens, and homeless centers in Milwaukee County.

Our drive will take place before Thanksgiving, from November 6-20. Make a contribution, from the list below, in boxes near the Club office.

Suggested items: High protein foods such as peanut butter, canned meats, beans, and stews Canned vegetables Dinner items: pasta, macaroni and cheese, and potato mixes Lunch items such as canned soup or canned pasta (Low sodium items are preferred)

The Hunger Task Force also purchases turkeys for Thanksgiving distribution. Members may choose to write checks for $15, $30, or more to the Hunger Task Force and note “for turkey” in the subject line. Checks may be turned in to the Club office.

The Hunger Task Force is very grateful each year for our interest in providing food for our community at this important holiday.

Thank you for your donations. Comfort Quilts for Children By Lydia Cooley

We will pick up the threads of the ongoing project of making small, simple comfort quilts for children served by the Milwaukee Child Advocacy Center. The sewing process is a simple one; we can use the hands of members who do not sew at all in pinning and ironing tasks. We enjoy conversation as we work and get to know each other better as members while serving a worthwhile cause.

Two sessions are offered this fall:

Friday, November 3 – A non-sewing session to work on fabric selection and layouts Friday, November 10 – Assembly and sewing session Sessions run from 10 AM-2 PM, with a break taken for lunch at noon Bring sewing supplies and a machine to the second session only

If attending the sessions proves an obstacle, we welcome members to work on quilts at home. Materials and instructions for these simple strip quilts can be provided to those interested.

If you have questions, please contact Lydia Cooley at [email protected] or Bonnie Roemer at [email protected].

If you will join the group for lunch, contact Leah at [email protected] to make a reservation.

September/October 2017 Home Cooking with Some Help from the Club By Vickie Degadillo

Few things say you’re home like the aroma of dinner simmering as you walk in the door. For the families who live at the nearby Cathedral Center, that scene - coming home to a hot meal in their own home - is a true treasure.

The Woman’s Club of Wisconsin is lending a hand to make that happen. The Club’s Community Outreach Committee is spearheading “Project Slow Cooker.” Here’s how it works: The display will be set up in the Club’s Great Hall in September, and members can donate $20 toward the purchase of a slow cooker that will become a gift to families who graduate from the Cathedral Center.

The slow cookers – purchased from Kohl’s department store, which has provided a generous discount for the project – will be bundled with recipes submitted by Club members (so get out your cookbooks and start looking). Community Outreach members are also seeking donations of basic spices from local spice shops to go with the cookers.

The Cathedral Center, housed for the past 15 years in a former convent building at 845 N. Van Buren Street, serves nearly 1,000 women and families – including babies and toddlers – in any given year.

Milwaukee ranks 4th in poverty in America, and children are hit especially hard by that fact. The number of homeless women and families has been growing since the 1990s, yet shelters have been forced to shut down due to lack of funding.

The non-denominational Cathedral Center is now one of just two shelters serving this vulnerable and growing population. The other shelter is run by the Salvation Army. The Cathedral Center, with 38 beds for women and 16 family rooms, is the larger of the two.

This year, the Cathedral Center began operating a transitional housing program, the Friendship House, for families who need more time working toward independence. Friendship House is the oldest shelter for women and families, marking its 150th year this year, while the Cathedral Center is the “youngest,” marking its 15th year.

At both the Cathedral Center and Friendship House, the clients’ pathway is to permanent solutions. They receive case management, counseling and job preparedness training through the intensive Women’s Independence Program. A new partner in the WIP program is the nearby University Club, where WIP graduates are being considered for jobs.

The shelter relies heavily on volunteers. In 2015, for instance, 1,585 volunteers gave more than 7,000 hours at the shelter.

Maybe you’ve walked by the shelter, in the heart of downtown, in the shadow of the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, said director Donna Rongholt-Migan. Yes, it is a shelter for the homeless, but it’s so much more. “It’s a gateway – a little place where big things quietly happen every day,” she said.

The Club is proud to give a hand – and a means to make a hot meal – to this neighbor.

September/October 2017 Membership News...Thank You Kindly! by Cheryl Ryan Girls’ Night In – Update Our Girls’ Night In on June 2 was a success! Thank you to our members who attended, brought guests, and enjoyed the vendors. Our vendors shared their expertise in their fields of beauty, fashion, nutrition, and health. We hope you were pampered and walked away feeling like the evening was truly for you. You all are a vital part of our Club.

Our members generously donated to Purpose Filled Purses, our focused community project for the evening. Fifty purses were collected and distributed to women at Meta House and homeless outreach programs at various locations. Purpose Filled Purses is an outreach program of Fresh Start Learning, Inc. Its mission is to strengthen families, restore underprivileged people to society, and rebuild our community. It is committed to raising awareness of social injustice and advocating development programs that directly transform the lives of individuals affected by domestic violence, homelessness, and human trafficking. Nancy Yarbrough, Executive Director of Fresh Start Learning, Inc., will speak at our next Girls’ Night In.

So mark your calendars…our next Girls’ Night In is on Friday, October 6. We look forward to another evening filled with members and guests connecting, with vendors sharing their expertise and showing us their goods. Bring a friend to join in this fun-filled evening.
