GFWC Jupiter Tequesta Junior Woman’s Club Wins Honors at State Convention

Several of our members recently attended the club's state convention in Orlando. These women were on hand to get to know members from other clubs throughout the state, gather ideas on improving our club and to collect the honors bestowed on us for our efforts.  They brought home 15 distinguished club honors and an individual award. 

Mary Ward was tricked into coming to Orlando on that Sunday, where much to her surprise, she was presented with the prestigious Nancy Crawford Leadership Award.  This annual Junior award, initiated at Convention 1993, in honor of Nancy Crawford, then FFWC Director of Junior Clubs, recognizes recognizes one outstanding Junior who has grown and developed as an individual, led others, and helped nurture leadership qualities in others.
