TARBORO —
The Tarboro Woman’s Club celebrated its 60th anniversary Wednesday at the Fountains at the Albemarle. Club members old and new were recognized at the anniversary meeting.
Lena “Bill” Calvert and Madeleine Bass received roses, gifts of appreciation and personal letters from the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC) for being charter members of the club.
“Being in the Tarboro Woman’s Club has been one of the highlights in my life and meeting the nicest people in Tarboro,” Calvert said.
“I want to thank all of you for everything you’ve done for me over the years,” said Madeleine Bass, long-term treasurer of the TWC.
Janice Cutchin, TWC’s current president, received a pin for her 25 years of membership. Carol McAdoo, District 8 President GFWC-North Carolina, also presented Cutchin with a gavel to preside over meetings.
JoAnn Brown received a pin for her 10 years of membership. The club also recognized its 18 new members, bringing the club’s membership up to 48, a 68 percent increase over last year.
“We look forward to remaining a strong, viable organization dedicated to education, community service, fellowship, and leadership for women,” Cutchin wrote in a letter listing the TWC’s contributions and accomplishments from the past 60 years. “It has been an honor and privilege to serve our community and out state in so many worthwhile causes over the years. Our motto: Love, Loyalty, and Service is at the heart of all that we do.”
Officers for the 2012-2013 year were also installed Wednesday. Barbara Davis and Kay Hindsley are first vice-presidents. Donna Dew is the second vice-president, Sandra Redhage is the recording secretary, Gladys Shelton and Dew are the corresponding secretaries and Glenda Joyner is the treasurer.
Guest speaker Aaron Syrett, director of the North Carolina Film Office, gave an overview of the film industry in North Carolina, as club members nibbled on popcorn in movie theater-style tubs at their tables.
A major motion picture that was recently filmed in North Carolina is “The Hunger Games.” Syrett shared that $61 million was spent on the film in the state and most of the production took place in western North Carolina.
“It created a ton of jobs and exposure for North Carolina,” said Tyrett.
A club member asked Syrett when he planned to film a movie in Tarboro.
“We just have to be creative, think ‘outside the box,’” said Syrett. “I think this town would look lovely on film.”
The club meeting ended with a spirit of unity, as the ladies clad in the TWC color of pink raised their voices together in the “Collect. For Club Women.” The last stanza of the “Collect” reads, “And may we strive to touch and to know The great, common, human heart of us all. And, O Lord God, let us forget not to be kind.”
GFWC is the largest volunteer organization of women in the world.

Great fondue
My husband and I love to entertain. We also love fondue. I have 4 or 5 fondue pots. I use them regularly. Some of them I have had for a long time.
Fondue began as a way to use up old, hardened cheese. The original fondue was cheese with wine. You then dipped hardened pieces of bread into the mixture. In America, the 1950's was the height of the fondue craze. However, it appears to be making a comeback. - Budget Friendly Deliciousness
