Community Service Programs - CSP
Education and Libraries CSP
The Education and Libraries committee encourages member to foster and support educational opportunities for all ages in our community. In the past we have provided classroom aides at one of our local elementary schools and hope to be able to do this again in the future. This committee has guided our club to provide free face masks for all age groups in the Butler Area Schools, has helped to repopulate the Broad Street Elementary school library, has worked tirelessly to support the Kids’ Weekend Backpack Program and has collaborated with the Butler Area Public Library on events. “The more that you read, the more things you will know, the more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” —Dr. Seuss
Arts and Culture CSP
This committee encourages members to promote and support arts activities within our club and the community. Inspiring members to participate in annual arts competitions through GFWC local, state and international contests is one of their goals. Art and culture allow us to expand our day to day lives by providing different ways to communicate with each other. We can appreciate new relationships and experiences through artistic skills and increased knowledge of the beliefs and customs of people around us. GFWC Arts and Culture Community Service Program encourages members to embrace art in whatever form it takes allowing us to change our world into a beautiful caring place. As Edgar Degas once said, “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”
GFWC Intermediate League of Butler was organized and federated in 1950 to provide a club for women in the “age gap” between the Junior and Senior Women’s Clubs, thus the name “Intermediate League”. The club members have made a difference in the Butler community through volunteer work at ARC, assisting with the special needs classrooms at McQuistion Elementary school, the Kid’s Weekend Backpack Program of the Butler Area School District, the Lighthouse food bank, and VOICe. The Intermediate League was instrumental in the establishment of the 911 service in 1969 in Butler County and the Gateway Garden with the PA Western Conservancy.
