will be updated with new volunteer opportunities. Under the Membership tab, you can renew your
membership, order a replacement name tag, or just update your directory information easily online. in
the Members Only section (Password is member2012), we now have a page listing all of the Board

well as get volunteer forms, view the directory (both on a PC/Mac or on your mobiledevice), or if you

Publicity
Hello,
I would like to introduce myself to those of you who do not know me. My name is Carol Bafus
and I am the new Publicity person for the GKWC this year. I look forward to getting to know
each of you and hope I can capture the true essence of The Greater Keller Women's Club members and events this coming year. I will be the one wandering around with the camera, phone or
IPad asking you to smile, and making memories.
If I am not at an event I hope someone will snap a few pictures and pass them on to me via
email, so I can make sure we get a true scope of the multiple opportunities that are available to
our members, socially, through community service, special events and fundraising.
Thank you and I am looking forward to a great year.
Regards,
Carol Bafus
