GFWC of NC Statesville Woman’s Club Presents proceeds from Taste of Iredell 2023
The General Federation of Woman’s Club of North Carolina (GFWC of NC) Statesville Woman’s Club recently held their 2023 Taste of Iredell. The theme was “Bridging the Gap of Homelessness.” The proceeds were divided between the Bridge Academy of the Statesville Family YMCA and the other to SWC historic clubhouse capital campaign.
The Bridge Academy helps Iredell County local homeless families with a free After School Academy, Summer Day Camp, sports programs, Safety Around Water drowning prevention, anti-hunger initiatives and more. The SWC campaign is a long overdue endeavor to raise money for critical clubhouse repairs such as a new roof, new HVAC system and plumbing updates. Once accomplished, a handicap ramp for the clubhouse is being negotiated. Finally, aesthetic updates will position the clubhouse as a spacious, affordable and beautiful venue for hosting events in historic downtown Statesville. The original Historic Clubhouse was built in 1927; the present one was rebuilt in 1928 after a fire and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The GFWC of NC Statesville Woman’s Club is a 501(c)3 organization.
The event also featured South Iredell High School Honors Strings, directed by Leslie Overcash. Crosby Scholars Iredell County had three students volunteering. A cooler with Top Shelf Spirits Giveaway Drawing also took place with the winner being Carson Chambers.
