The Buford Lanier Woman’s Club is on hiatus during the Coronavirus. We postponed our annual Fashion Show where we generally have 250 people gathered in the Buford Presbyterian Church gym. It is a great disappointment to us because this is our principal fund raiser.
From this fund raiser, we award five $1,OOO to women in our area. We also support the North Georgia Coop, the Home of Hope, Mending the Gap, camp scholarships for children with needs, parties for Hi-Hope, the Buford Museum, the Buford Girls Chorus, and many other groups that we recognize needing help from us. We are very proud of being able to help our community in so many ways.
This year, we find ourselves with no fund raiser scheduled which means we cannot fund these groups. Currently, we have tentatively rescheduled our fashion show, The Wizard of Oz, for 2021 in April, when we hope we can once again award scholarships and contribute to the other groups that are doing such wonderful work.
We are grateful for all the support we have had and are looking forward to resuming our activities as soon as possible.
