PURPOSE
The GFWC Dublin/San Ramon Women's Club was formed to serve this community
in 1965 as the Women' s Club of Dublin. With the demise of the San Ramon Women' s
Club this club voted to change the name and provide service to an additional
community. These communities are so close and as the membershigis' growing, it was
felt that the added service would not be a strain to the membership and the levels of
service would not be diminished.
The organization' s purp°se ,s_to pr, omo.te~ mter.es_?~o_r.~e~

During the 2003 calendar year the membership completed 61 service projects in 4381
hours with dollars donated in the amount of $48,207. Our work is in a field of six
major areas.

all entries and take plenty of photos of the students and their creative talents.
Crafts- On "Make a Difference" day 150 bears were made by the membership. This
is called our "Blue Bear" Project. The bears are cut, sewn and stuffed and with labels
attached and a ribbon tie added. Half the bears were presented to the Dublin Police
Department while the other half went to San Ramon. They are to be used by our Police
Departments at a time of stress for our younger citizens.

more needs in other parts of our world and have been setting aside funds for their work.

world.
At the present time our membership roll totals 84 members. That is 84 members
dedicated to the service of our community. Our members "Walk their Talk" and bye
