Letter: Bluffton Poinsettia Club--104 years old!
The Bluffton Poinsettia Club was founded in 1920 by a group of women seeking friendship, laughter and an opportunity to do some good in this world. Today the Poinsettia Club has the same goals. Our motto is a quote by Madeline Bridges – “Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.”
We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of the month--April through November--at a location chosen by the hostess. We will begin our 104th year with our first meeting on April 16 hosted by Fairy Parkins. At the meetings members enjoy lunch and many times a presentation by a representative of a local organization that often becomes the recipient of a donation. In previous years the Bluffton Poinsettia Club has donated to Hope House and City Mission in Findlay, The Bluffton Community Assistance Food Pantry and the Mt. Cory Food Pantry as well as the Women’s Center of Findlay and the Fuller Center, among others.
CONTINUES
Officers for the 2024 year are President, Ann Welch; Vice President, Connie Walter; Secretary, Jeanette Kidd; and Treasurer, Jenny Pilarowski.
If you would like to join us, new members are welcome. Please call Fairy Parkins for complete information at 419-957-7371.
