Statesville Woman’s Club’s April meeting club members and guests assembled beautifully painted mini flowerpots filled with fun flowers to be delivered to Maple Leaf Assisted Living on GFWC Federation Day (April 24). Attendees also painted rocks with inspirational words and designs for the Kindness Rock Garden in Pecan Park in Downtown Statesville.

The April project was a collection project of Early Reader Books and “Comfort Critters” (small-medium sized stuffed animals) for children who receive services through the Dove House Children’s Advocacy Center.

The next club meeting will be Thursday, May 4, at the Historic Clubhouse at 515 West End Avenue at 5:30 p.m. Attendees will enjoy a “College Shower” for the club’s Sallie Southall Cotten Scholarship winner, North Iredell High School senior Trinity Webb. Trinity is from Harmony and is the daughter of Marcus and Jennifer Webb. All members, guests and interested women are invited to attend.
