FWC to honor veterans

FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Woman's Club is holding its meetings via Zoom to comply with the governor's mandate, as well as the California Federation of Women's Clubs. The club's board members are meeting regularly online via Zoom and in person, following social distancing protocols.

Member meetings are monthly, on the second Tuesday of each month. FWC invites community members to join the meetings as a guest or new member. November's member meeting will be a tribute to veterans. The guest presenter will be Chris Ingraham, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post Commander here in Fallbrook. The day of our meeting is the 245th birthday of the U.S.M.C. Members whose spouse is a veteran are invited to join this meeting, Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 11 a.m. Any veterans attending this Zoom meeting are asked to wear something that represents their branch of service.

At the October meeting, the guest presenter was Kim Gerrish of Michelle's PlaceCancer Resource Center. Michelle's Place is a nonprofit organization offering various means of support for women with cancer. The organization is based in Temecula. The great news is Michelle's Place has a satellite office here in Fallbrook. More information can be found at michellesplace.org.

There are several scarecrow ladies adorning the FWC Clubhouse at the corner of East Mission and South Mission. These "Silent Ladies" represent woman's clubs through the decades.
