The Lilburn Woman’s Club has accomplished several great things in the Lilburn Community. Its Civic Engagement and Outreach program donated $2,500 cash and $400 worth of pantry items to the Lilburn Co-op in honor of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs’ National Day of Service. They also donated almost 2,000 copies of the U.S. constitution to all area eighth graders. It also helped stock the Lilburn Elementary School food pantry for children with $150 worth of pantry items.
Again this year, the Education and Libraries program donated 1,400 dictionaries to all area third graders in Lilburn. The Art and Culture program took the opportunity to do a few small fundraisers with a Sip N Paint and a Beautiful Baby photo contest. Proceeds from those two fundraisers allowed them to donate a $220 gift card for Hobby Lobby to the Norcross Senior Center and $200 to the Parkview High School Art department for student supplies.
The club also plays Santa at Christmas ,giving presents to thirty plus Lilburn area underprivileged elementary students in need of holiday cheer. Most of these donations are funded by our major projects like the recent Lilburn Daze and the new Taste of Lilburn we held last April. Please remember to support these projects to allow this great work in our community to continue! Visit LilburnWomansClub.org for more information.
