GFWC Temple Terrace Woman's Club

 

Public Affairs Department  

In 1965 a film called “The Riddle of the Friendly Stranger” which warned of the dangers of strangers enticing children to go off with them, was shown by members of TTWC in all public and private schools in Temple Terrace. A Basketball Court for public use was built at the “Woodmont Annex” in 1967. It was in constant use until 1994 when residents complained about the noise at night and the trashing of the area with paper and soft drink cans, for 27 years it was a real asset to the young people who enjoyed using it.

The Temple Terrace Police Department has several programs in place which have benefited from donations by TTWC. In 1986 A Golf Cart, especially equipped for use in the shopping areas of the city as a crime deterrent, was donated by TTWC to the Police Department at a cost of $4,000. Other items that have been donated to the Police Department include- a McGruff, “Take A Bite Out of Crime” Costume which is used to instruct children in the schools about protecting them-selves from strangers, and five hand puppets, with cassette tapes to demonstrate self protection measures, were also donated. A Rape Victim’s Kit used for the victim of this crime is provided and new ones are furnished when needed.

TTWC members have worked over the years at voter registration booths as poll workers and with absentee voters. In 1994-95, members chaired a team that went into four nursing homes, registering over 80 patients, and assisted absentee voters with their ballots. This department helps with the Senior Expo and Business Expo that is held at the Lightfoot Center every year.  Members also work with the Fire Department on their annual “Open House”.
