COOKBOOK MARKETING

In 1995-1996 the BWC published the
Tasteful Treasures Cookbook
with the goal of establishing a trust fund with a minimum of $25,000. The concept was to reduce the need to provide substantial fundraisers each year to support our scholarships and charitable donations. The funds collected from the continued sales of the cookbooks are kept in Certificates of Deposit. Only the annual interest earned from the CDs will be used for donations.

BEDFORD JIGSAW PUZZLES & BRIDGE CARDS MARKETING

HOSTESS COMMITTEE

All active members (except Officers and Board of Directors) are required to serve on one monthly luncheon committee. Officers and Board of Directors are responsible for the New Members' Coffee. If a member is unable to serve in her scheduled month, she should try to trade with someone in another month OR pay $30.00 to the monthly luncheon chair one week prior to the luncheon. The month a member will serve is listed in your yearbook. The monthly hostess is the contact person. If a monthly luncheon chair sees an unexpected need for additional food, some members may be willing to contribute an extra dish. Members who can help over and above their assigned month should let the Chair of the Hostess Committee know the months they are available to give extra help. The Chair of the Hostess Committee will contact these volunteers.

Town Memorial Tree Committee

The Town Memorial Tree now is a Frazier fir in front of the Presbyterian Church.  The Bedford Women's Club decorates it with white lights each December.  The Bedford Garden Club has cared for all town memorial trees since 1947.  In 1996 BWC began working to honor those who fostered friendship, those who inspire us, and those who deserve recognition for military service.  The FIR theme will continue at the tree lighting ceremony on December 10, 2009, at 3:00 pm.
