May 2020 Greetings

The American Legion Post 184 wanted to Honor Veterans during the pandemic this year. Since it was not possible to display the casket flags, a small flag has been placed along with the identification of the veteran at each location in the Avenue of Flags at Chestnut Grove Cemetery in Herndon.

The Herndon Woman's Club (HWC) is a member of the General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC), the GFWC of Virginia and the GFWC Northern District. WHO WE ARE HWC members consist of women who live in and around Herndon who volunteer their time, talents and resources to assist the local community and provide some support to State and world projects. Members bring their own ideas and energy to the club and often step outside their comfort zone as they find ways to support the community while forming friendships along the way. As a 501(c)(3) charity, contributions/donations to HWC are tax deductible under the US Tax Laws |

2019 HWC VOLUNTEER HOURS
During 2019 a few members left the area, and a few new women joined the Herndon Woman's Club. It is hoped that each new member will bring along fresh ideas on ways to help support the local community as we volunteer our time to various activities, projects and fundraisers.
Members continue to record their volunteer hours throughout the year. We take a break from our monthly meeting in the summer but many members are busy supporting the Herndon Festival, Friday Night Live , Labor Day Festival along with planning meetings and other projects. By the end of 2019, about 75 percent of the members reported a total of 7,600 volunteer hours! Some of our members also volunteer their time participating in other areas of the community. The total hours combined added up to over 10,000 volunteer hours. Needless to say, it was a busy and productive year for our members.
In January 2020, we started the year with 78 active club members.
