GFWC Temple Terrace Woman's Club Education Department

“Exposures” (to art) Program in Riverhills and Temple Terrace Elementary Schools was started in 1969. Prints of famous paintings were framed and hung at the schools.  Films and speakers were used to introduce the children to the artists’ works.  Many former school teachers in the club volunteer at the schools (at one time there were 24 certified retired teachers in The Club). Non-teachers also tutor and work with special programs such as; the PTA, PTSA, King High Math Team, HOBY (Hugh O’Brien’s Youth) which is a nationwide program that holds Leadership Conferences and seminars for children from First Grade to the 10th Grades. Three schools in the area were involved in HOBY.

This department has provided hostesses for teacher retirement parties and most recently sponsored a reception in 1993 for a retiring principal of King High School.  Delegates to Girls’ State and Boys’ State have received Funding from TTWC.  Since 1965, A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Grant-in-Aid has been offered to women who are graduating as LPN’s but need money to cover their transportation to Tallahassee to take their exams. Originally started at Brewster Vocational School, students at Ervin Vo-Tech are now recipients of these grants.
