On Monday, August 17th, GFWC’s Oregon City Woman’s Club and the Silverton Zenith Women’s Club gathered at the Oregon Garden for a wonderful day of friendship, fellowship, and shared ideas.

The group began with a narrated tram ride through the beautiful gardens, learning about the Oregon Garden’s many unique features. Members then walked the paths, enjoying an up-close view of the colorful flowers and beautifully landscaped specialty areas. The botanical garden features 20 themed gardens, a magnificent 400-year-old oak tree, and stunning views of the Willamette Valley.

Later, the women gathered for lunch and continued their conversations, sharing ideas about growing their clubs, strengthening membership, and raising funds to improve their communities. The discussion was filled with enthusiasm and a genuine desire to learn from and support one another.

Both clubs agreed to schedule additional fun activities together in the future, creating more opportunities for friendship, collaboration, and mutual support. It was a wonderful day that demonstrated how much can be accomplished when women come together, share ideas, and encourage one another in their commitment to serving their communities.

Project Start Right provides school supplies to Clackamas County students in need. Through generous donations, the organization purchases new school supplies for needy children identified through county agencies such as DHS. This year, volunteers worked together for three days to assemble 1,500 packs of school supplies for local students!

Today’s children face many challenges, and starting the school year without the supplies they need shouldn’t be one of them. Project Start Right helps remove that barrier by making sure students have the tools they need to learn, succeed, and start the school year right!

Monday – Day #1: Volunteers packed school supply bags for students in grades K–2 and 3–5.
Tuesday – Day #2: Volunteers returned to fill bags for middle and high school students. By the end of the day, an amazing 1,500 school supply packs were ready for the new school year!
Wednesday – Day #3: Volunteers from throughout the community sorted, organized, and bundled all 1,500 packs into family groups, preparing them for delivery the following day.
Thursday – Day #4: Project Start Right wrapped up four busy days of service! Volunteers loaded all 1,500 school supply packs into vehicles for delivery to DHS locations throughout Clackamas County—ready to reach students and families in time for the new school year.

Oregon City Woman’s Club members were proud to be part of this community effort! Over the first three days of Project Start Right, 20 OCWC volunteers helped pack, sort, organize, and prepare school supplies for delivery to students throughout Clackamas County.

Participating members were Tiina Aug, Mary Brown, Heather Chaney, Joan Criteser, Karen Farris, Marsha Gross, Marcia Haney, Connie Kitzmiller, Linda McReynolds, Claire Met, Berta Miesing, Sharon Mara, Penny Santos, Bev Spilseth, Judy Storey, Karmin Tomlinson, Chris Wadsworth, Susie Werner, Roxanne Wheeler, and Kathleen Wood.

Five members of the Oregon City Woman’s Club—Susie Werner, Joanne Haeffele, Nancy Weicker, Margie Tosi, and Mary Stanford— attended a special evening of connection and conversation at the Children’s Center in Oregon City. The event celebrated the completion of new additions to the center and provided community partners with an opportunity to learn more about its vital work.

The evening featured a tour of the new therapy wing, where guests saw firsthand how the expanded space will help meet the growing needs of children and families. Members also had the pleasure of meeting Todd V, the Children’s Center’s beloved therapy dog, whose gentle presence provides comfort and support to young clients during their visits.

Center staff shared the organization’s mission and offered a behind-the-scenes look at the compassionate services they provide every day. Learning about the Children’s Center’s commitment to healing, advocacy, and hope was both inspiring and a reminder of the important role community partnerships play in supporting local children and families.

The Oregon City Woman’s Club is honored to learn from and support organizations like the Children’s Center that make a lasting difference in our community. Future tours are available for interested club members.

Six members of the Oregon City Woman’s Club spent a fun-filled two hours volunteering at The Clackamas Bookshelf on Thursday, July 16, helping clean and prepare books for young readers.

There’s something special about knowing these books will soon find their way into the hands of children who may not have many books of their own at home. We chatted, laughed, shared stories, and enjoyed spending time together while giving back to our community.

It’s amazing how a couple of hours, a little teamwork, and a lot of heart can help put more books—and more smiles—into the hands of children. We left feeling grateful for the opportunity to make a difference, one book at a time! 📚❤️

We will be back at it again on August 20th!

Creativity was on full display on June 17 when fifteen Oregon City Woman's Club members and three guests spent the morning at Sweet Lomy Art in Gladstone learning the art of fused glass. Owner Jenny Wells welcomed everyone by showcasing some of her stunning creations before introducing the wide variety of projects participants could make, including sun catchers, jewelry, coasters, candle holders, garden stakes, and more.

After a demonstration on how to safely cut and arrange the colorful pieces of glass, it was time to let the creativity flow. Some participants carefully planned every detail, while others happily experimented with colors and designs. Precut flowers, birds, and other decorative pieces added even more possibilities, making each project one of a kind.

Once the finished pieces were fired in the kiln, everyone eagerly waited two weeks to pick up their colorful creations from Joanne Haeffele. Judging by the smiles and the beautiful finished artwork, the class was a wonderful success—and there may even be a few new glass artists among us!

Club members: Karen Anderson, Joan Criteser, Karen Farris, Carrie Garr, Marsha Gross, Joanne Haeffele, Annette James, Connie Kitzmiller, Lori Kyser, Berta Miesing, Bev Spilseth, Mary Stanford, Chris Wadsworth, Roxanne Wheeler and Sheila Wilson. Guests: Jill Buchanan, Debbie Hiatt and Kathy Scott.
