Walking Contest!  GFWC-CT-Annual Sheila Macauley Memorial Walking Contest:

At the May Convention this motion was made to honor Sheila Macauley and her passion for Health & Wellness!

Health and Wellness:  President Kathy DeBurra spoke on behalf of Sheila Macauley, Health and Wellness State Chairman, 2022-2024.  In remembrance of Sheila’s dedication,  a motion was made by Kathy Aiello to “rename” the GFWC/CT Walking/Exercise Challenge to the “Sheila Macauley Annual Memorial GFWC/CT Walking/Exercise Challenge”.  The motion was seconded by Wendy Clery and approved unanimously. The entire room stood in honor of Sheila including the guests who were moved by this action. Awards of the contest were announced and presented.

Sara Newell has volunteered to fulfill the honor of Health & Wellness Chairman to honor her WC Sister and friend! GFWC/CT is grateful to SARA and thanks her for the kindness and sponsoring the first Sheila Macauley Annual Memorial GFWC/CT Walking/Exercise Challenge!

Amazing Participation from GFWC/CT!!
