Client Note 1
Client Note 1 - Yearly brief report of non-profit activities Fall 2013-Spring 2014WOMANS HISTORY RESOURCE CENTER Number of Projects Volunteer Hours Dollars Spent 3 403 member hours 23957.00 : Presentation to Westerners Club Volunteer Hours Dollars Spent 8 member hours 0 In October, a club member was invited to address the Westerners Club, a history organization. The presentation The Evolution of a Club and a Clubhouse on the history of the Womans Club of Spokane and clubhouse was well received. Since this presentation, members of the Westerners Club have requested to tour the clubhouse and review historic documents dating back to 1905. Another connection from this event resulted in a large tour group of senior citizens. Maintenance of Historic Clubhouse Volunteer Hours Dollars Spent 370 member hours 23,957.00 The Womans Club of Spokanes Clubhouse was built in 1910/1928. It is listed on the national, state and local historic registers. Preserving this clubhouse is our most significant project in terms of volunteer time and expense. The Clubhouse Management Committee consists of 5 club members. This committee prioritizes projects, schedules repairs, prepares estimates and plans. In addition to the building itself, the grounds must be maintained by contract staff managed by our House Superintendent who is a volunteer. Inkind donations of supplies for repairing various issues from plumbing to door knobs totaled $198.00 this year. Spokane fire marshal inspections for historic buildings have become very rigorous, so we are very proud that for the first time in 4 years we passed our fire inspection with flying colors! The building operations costs were steady at about $2000 a month. Holiday Tea and Vintage Fashion Show Volunteer Hours Dollars Raised 304 member & vol. hours 2645.00 The annual Holiday Tea and Vintage Fashion Show held on 12/7 was a resounding success. The event was sold out (144 tickets) with 22 community and member volunteers modeling costumes from the Spokane Vintage Fashion Collection. The current narrator of the Vintage Fashion Collection has a degree in Textiles with an emphasis in costume history. Many items in the collection are now better documented and have a womens history story to tell along with the fashion impact of being viewed on a live model in a head to toe context. The Lilac Festival Royalty competition is a scholarship program. Fourteen Lilac Royalty candidates [the Fab 14] each hosted a table of eight guests. This event also provided an opportunity for these high school students to practice their public speaking skills by introducing themselves from the stage. The club provided 20 complimentary tickets to the Lilac Festival, which is a 501(c)3 organization. These tickets are valued at $400. This year, the event also included a gift shop selling items donated by members. The Illusions of Elvis Show Volunteer Hours Dollars Raised 86 member and vol. hours 896.00 On November 9, Elvis came to life at the Womans Club of Spokane. The turnout filled the large ballroom. Tickets were $15.00 and proceeds were shared 50/50 between Elvis representatives and the club. The C-3 Juniorettes group managed the refreshment sale table. This is the first time the club sold tickets for a clubhouse event on the online ticket provider, and the first time we did a targeted audience advertisement of an event through FaceBook. The cost of the FB advertising [$10] was donated. This definitely increased sales to a broader part of the Spokane public and also increased the visibility of our Facebook page by 20 times the normal viewing! The Souper Supper and Concert Volunteer Hours Dollars Raised. 60 club member hours 500.00 A new fundraiser, The Souper Supper featured delicious homemade soup, bread and dessert. One club member chef with the support of two other club members made two types of soup from scratch in the commercial kitchen of a nearby church. Other members donated supplies for the soup, bread, dessert, beverages, decorations and tableware. These donated supplies totaled $195.00. A $20.00 cash donation for supplies was also received. It also featured live blue grass music by Wide River Band which was provided pro bono [A band member is also a club member]. There were many compliments about the soup, colorful fall decorations and warm ambiance of the event. The ticket price was set at $10 per person or $25.00 per family. The purpose of this event was to reach out to the surrounding community development neighborhood and organization. Though the crowd was small for this initial event (about 60 people,) there were many positive comments.
