 Members continue to take precautions to stay safe as the new year begins by meeting online
to plan for upcoming activities within the community.

JANUARY 2021

As a new year begins,
Northwest Federal Credit Union(NWFCU)
and the Herndon Woman's Club
will be provding birthday bags to seniors at
Harbor House in Herndon. 
On a cold January afternoon gift bags for
upcoming birthdays were delivered to two members
from Harbor House, by two HWC members
and one member from NWFCU.

In January a few members made 50 greeting cards.
The cards were sent to Operation Gratitude to share
with military personnel serving in locations where
paper supplies are difficult to obtain.

In December 2020, 55 scarfs were hand made by members
of the Herndon Fortnightly and Herndon Woman's Club
for the Foster Care 2 Share Red Scarf Project.
                          
Due to covid-19, planning for fundraisers and other activities
are handled mostly on line.  Members have found time to meet in downtown Herndon - wearing masks -
to take a short walk.

Each month during 2020, members have presented 125 birthday bags to residents at Harbor House.

PUBLIC ISSUES PROJECTS

                                       USO Bags
Members made small bags to be used during layovers at Dulles for military families who spend time between flights  in the USO Lounge.  Bags were assembled to hand out to young children to occupy some of their time.

             Public Issues - Day of Service - January 20, 2020
Club Members spent a few hours making  Paracord Bracelets for Operation Gratitude.

             How can a Paracord Survival Bracelet be Used?
All who serve use paracord, which gets its name from parachute cord and can hold up to 550 lbs. of weight.  The bracelet provides 7.5 feet of cord in an emergency.  Bracelets can be used to:
    Secure camouflage nets to trees or vehicles
    Build a makeshift shelter
    Extend a security strap or rope to reach and haul heavy objects
    Create a harness to extract an injured person from a bad location
    Make a sling or splint
