7 SRWC clubwomen met for the afternoon on October 16th and created 42 adorable mini-Halloween costumes for the babies in the NICU at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children in
Denver. Thanks to all who donated felt, glue, time and talents to create these! Creativity flowed as we
created capes with Superman, Batman, WonderWoman, Captain America, Baby Shark, Rainbows,
Turtles, Caterpillars, etc! We estimate 40+ hours of volunteer service were given in this effort. Sue delivered the costumes to the NICU on October 18th and briefly met a former SRWC member who has a preemie son at RMHC. In-kind donation value of the materials used was $210 ($5/costume.)

The Peaks District Meeting was held Saturday, October 8th in Colorado Springs. 6 SRWC members attended and enjoyed the Fall "Friendsgiving" theme. We networked with the 5 clubs in our District and shared plans for our upcoming year. We collected TP and PT for the local Ronald McDonald House and were treated to a presentation by the director of the Co Springs RMH. What amazing support they offer to families of children in local hospitals!

Remember, SRWC is partnering with another local GFWC club, Chalets, to try and collect 500 pounds of
plastic film over a 6-month period. Sue will bring a baby scale to meetings if you need an accurate
weight on the bags of plastic you take into King Soopers, etc. Individuals need to report any donations each month to our program coordinator, Kim Zeiner.

SRWC will be collecting used Cell Phones, partnering with GFWC and Secure the Call, a 501c organization that works to provide free emergency devices to domestic violence shelters throughout the US.

For the last 20 years, Secure the Call has been asking people to donate the old, unwanted devices, which they repurpose into free emergency call phones. These life-saving devices can call 911 without a service contract and ensure that help is never out of reach for individuals in abusive relationships.

From October 1- February 28, 2023 all GFWC clubs are asked to hold a drive to collect these devices. GFWC clubs' goal is to collect 7500 phones and tablets to meet their expected demand in 2023. Secure the Call will pay shipping charges to send them our devices.

Support Operation Smile’s Service Projects

For more than 30 years, GFWC clubwomen have combined their efforts to support Affiliate Organization Operation Smile’s surgical programs and patients in need. Now, members can show their continued support by providing Service Project items for the nonprofit’s surgical programs. This year, Operation Smile is asking clubwomen to come together and champion the volunteer spirit by using their crafting skills.

Members are encouraged to make various handmade items such as blankets, Smile Bags, Smile Splints, and hospital gowns. Clubs can also donate Child Life Therapy supply items, including toys, playmats, building blocks, and more.

To learn more about providing these needed items, view Operation Smile’s GFWC Service Projects Guide located in the “Affiliate Organizations” subfolder of the “A” Resources folder in the Member Portal Digital Library.

In addition to supporting Operation Smile with Service Project items, clubs can help share the organization’s work through fundraisers and by advocating for their programs in the local community.
