Deadline to Apply for CWC Youth Programs and Scholarships is Feb. 16, 2024

 

Colleyville Woman’s Club (CWC) seeks to honor young people for their community volunteer efforts. As a nonprofit service organization, CWC recognizes that it is today’s youth who must become tomorrow’s volunteers and that through volunteer service, one individual can make a difference. This spring will mark the 29th year that the club has recognized area youth for their hands-on volunteer efforts.

 

Anyone can nominate a child. Nominees between the ages of 5 to 19 may attend any school—public, private or home schooled—and must EITHER reside or attend a school in Bedford, Colleyville, Euless, Grapevine, Haltom City, Hurst, Keller, North Richland Hills, Richland Hills, Southlake or Watauga OR attend BISD, CISD, GCISD, HEB ISD or KISD. Volunteer service is not limited to those areas, however. The awards recognize voluntary, not paid, service. Fundraising activities and lobbying efforts, regardless of good intent, are excluded from consideration. Awards are judged in four age groups and each award may recognize several nominees.

 

In addition to its Youth Volunteer Service Awards program, Colleyville Woman’s Club offers two additional programs for graduating seniors. CWC’s Spirit of Youth Volunteer Grants program offers grants to area seniors based upon a 4 year high school history of volunteer service. In addition, CWC’s Circle of Hope and Dick Dennison Memorial scholarships are need-based scholarships that benefit seniors at five specific high schools. Recipients in all three programs will be honored at the organization’s Caring With Commitment Celebration in May.

 

Information for all three programs, including nomination and application forms, is available on the Colleyville Woman’s Club website at c-w-c.org/community/youth-recognition/.

 

For information, contact Nancy Coplen at youth@c-w-c.org. The deadline for submission for all programs is February 16, 2024.

Come join Colleyville Woman’s Club in celebrating our 36th Fashion Show & Luncheon Benefit, Lunch With the Girlz, on Friday, April 5th at the Hurst Conference Center. This signature event is CWC’s largest fundraiser and will showcase professional models dressed in Ready-To Wear styles from DFW boutiques; Austin Lorin, Malouf’s, Sai’s Designers, Scout & Molly’s Boutique, Silk Threads and Xar Clothier. Returning this year will be the popular segment featuring child models, all wearing the cutest styles from Dillard’s.  This year’s theme is Hawaiian, E Ka Wai Nani, By the beautiful water and we invite you to join in on the fun by donning your favorite Hawaiian or resort wear. The show is being produced by RSC Show Productions and NBC 5 DFW anchor Deborah Ferguson will serve as event emcee.

Tables of ten and individual tickets may be purchased on the club’s website, https://colleyville-womans-club.myshopify.com/collections/all. We encourage you to do this today as we will sell out weeks before the event!

Registration at the event starts at 9:30 am and the ballroom doors open at 11 am with the show and spirited Live Auction to follow. Silent Auction items will be available for viewing and mobile bidding in the Conference Center’s lobby prior to the show. Guests are advised to visit the Makamae Hala Kahki (Prized Pineapple) area early as there are only a limited number of opportunities to win a fabulous prize. Note that this year there will not be valet service at the Hurst Conference Center so we encourage sharing rides.

Proceeds from CWC Fashion Show & Luncheon Benefit will help a variety of deserving charities throughout the metroplex. Since 1978, the volunteers of Colleyville Woman’s Club have donated over $4 million to charitable organizations, including women’s shelters, children’s charities, literacy organizations and other social services. CWC is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.
