| A
Look Back
In March of 2001, five women,
Kathie Cardon, Gisela Ferrell,
Jackie McCann, Barbara Szymanski
and Mary Lee Thompson met
to establish an organization
for the women of Magnolia
Point. The group of five
has grown to a group of
over 200 women in just ten
years.

Activities
We provide interesting monthly
speakers, a book club, day
trips and numerous opportunities
for our members to use their
talents by serving on one
of our volunteer committees.
Some of the social activities
and programs we have had
in the past include:
- Attending community
theatre performances
- A day trip to a local
herb garden
- Luminaria Night events
- Christmas Tea
- Musical groups
- Guest speakers presenting
the history of GCS, Exploritus
(formerly Elder Hostel),
growing herbs and other
speakers on gardening,
travel, health and personal
care
- Day trip to Savannah
Our Hospitality team personally
welcomes each new resident
to Magnolia Point and shares
community information with
them. The women are provided
with information regarding
the Women’s Club and
invited to attend our meetings.
The Helping Hands Committee
assists Magnolia Point member
families in times of illness
while the Sunshine Group sends
cards and flowers to members
and their families.
Each year members accrue
many volunteer hours on
various projects, conducting
food drives for the Food
Pantry, collecting donations
for the Safe Animal Shelter,
mentoring children, walking
for breast cancer and diabetes.

Night event, the sale of
directory ads and other
fund raising activities
