Welcome to the GFWC Illinois
Antioch Woman’s Club
The mission of the GFWC Illinois Antioch Woman’s Club is to provide intellectual growth and unity of effort toward civic improvement – a philanthropic organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service.
We are a fun, dynamic and energetic group of women who are dedicated to making a difference in our world and our community. The Antioch Woman’s Club (AWC) works to promote education, preserve natural resources and encourage healthy lifestyles.
Our work has made a positive impact with the elderly and people with disabilities, has been a voice for issues relating to women, children and families and has supported participation in the arts. We encourage you to contact us to learn more about how you can get involved.

Dear Ladies,
Over the past few weeks many decisions and changes had to be made-some of these decisions have affected the bylaws, but we have no choice at this time.
1. There will be NO April activities:
NO general meeting
NO Art Show. April 24
NO Card Party April 24
NO Waukegan Woman’s Club fundraiser April 25
2. There will be NO May 13 100th Anniversary Celebration
PLEASE NOTE:This event has been rescheduled for October 14 ( if you want your check returned, which you sent in for the May 13 event, please contact Maureen Fremgen. If not we will hold it for October 14)
3. THE ILLINOIS STATE CONVENTION IN MAY AND THE INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION IN JUNE HAVE BEEN CANCELLED
4. The September general meeting will be a regular meeting at the church.
PLEASE NOTE: we will not need a hostess committee for October, thus-will those who signed up for October, please Hostess in September. Let Sharen Starck know your decision. Thank you in advance.
5. We will hold election of officers, budget and excess funds meetings at future times to be announced.
Hopefully, we will learn some lessons from this difficult time that will make a more peaceful world.
Mathew 7,v.1-2 Do not judge or you, too, will be judged and MY favorite: Mark 12, v.31-Love your neighbor as yourself.
Please pray for those who need it and stay safe yourself.
Love and God bless,
Jean Johnson, President
