It was a lovely afternoon at the Geneva Point Conference Center when the Moultonborough Women’s Club gathered for the Annual Banquet to celebrate seventy-two years. A delicious luncheon, catered by Geneva Point, was enjoyed by seventy members. Dotti Simpson, Parliamentarian, presided over the candlelit Installation Ceremony of Officers as members looked toward the 2022-2023 year. A slide show presentation choregraphed by Libby Reichlen, Historian and VP, showcased the club’s achievements and social events over the years. The MWC Woman of the Year award was presented to Harriet Bicksler. A faithful member of the MWC, she has held the offices of Director, President, VP and Corresponding Secretary as well as chairing the Donations, Town Meeting Lunches and Bake Sale Committees.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer

The Moultonborough Women’s Club has named Janet Schurko the recipient of the 2021 Woman of the Year Award. Her sweet spirit and compassion has led her to devote her time and efforts to serving others in various capacities for the community. She has been a valuable asset as chair of the Remembrance Committee and has spread her kindness to club members, nursing home residents, Meals on Wheels homebound recipients and at the local veteran’s home with notes, home made cards and messages of comfort and encouragement. &nbsp; Christmas time has seen Janet managing the club’s holiday gift projects for area children and she has led a team in making ornaments for the club’s beautifully decorated contribution to Altrusa’s Festival of Trees events. Janet organizes a talented group of knitters and crocheters for the Meredith Savings Bank’s Mitten Tree project, herself knitting many hats, scarves and mittens. Thank you Janet, for your devotion to others and service to the Moultonborough Women’s Club. &nbsp; Janet Schuko with Amy Corston, Director<figure id="figure-aug1nuxrpmglthdpj71"><img id="aug1nuxrpmglthdpj71" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1aq5Ed22htexqra5ogCgGSRko6xvK0zyd5cpH5rx4NsqyMlI3PZr2ZPmGmmlrNF8.jpg" alt="fitness group" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 3/2; object-position: 50% 35%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="3:2" data-caption="" data-positionX="50%" data-positionY="35%" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure>
