Committees:
Auction Committee auction@boltonwomensclub.org
The auction committee is made up of a large group of members who organize our biggest fundraiser.  Committee members rent the hall, organize food, generate donations, package the donations for a beautiful presentation, and make sure the night progresses smoothly.  There is a lot of coordination involved and it is a lot of fun.  All the work produces a fantastic evening which raises money for charity.

Bolton Family Fun Day

This BWC committee rents a cotton candy machine, sets up a candy making volunteer schedule, and coordinates with the Bolton town committee handling the entire day. 

Budget Committee
The BWC Budget Committee is a new aspect of the club and will be a yearly committee comprised of the treasurer, assistant treasurer, and at least two additional members. The committee will convene during the late winter to review the club's income and expenditures for the previous year, and work to formulate a budget for the upcoming year. A draft of the budget will be submitted to the Executive Board for feedback and approval, and a final budget will be presented to the general membership during the April meeting.

Conservation
The Conservation Committee is responsible for planting and caring for flowers on the Bolton Town Green in commemoration of Memorial Day. The flowers that are used are red geraniums, blue salvia and white vinca.

Heritage Day
The BWC supports the Historical Society to provide a 'colonial breakfast' during what is becoming an annual tradition in Bolton. This committee organizes the breadfast Heritage Day is in the fall.

Halloween halloween@boltonwomensclub.org
The Halloween Committee organizes our annual Halloween Party held prior to Halloween at the Bolton High School.  They organize games, purchase candy and prizes and coordinate volunteers.  It's a lot of fun and the evening is always a huge success.

Home Life homelife@boltonwomensclub.org
Reaching-out to those in need within our community is coordinated by the Home Life committee.  Members volunteer to donate food and other necessary items to needy families.  This includes sponsoring a family for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and helping at other times of the year as well.  Additionally this committee coordinates with MACC to determine needed supplies. 

Hospitality hospitality@boltonwomensclub.org
This committee coordinates the refreshments at each of our meetings.  The chairperson usually asks one or two members to bring a snack for the club to enjoy.

Liaisons
With so many different groups in town, we're thrilled to have members act as liaisons to keep us posted on other activities going on throughout town.  We currently have liaisons for:

PTA
Bolton Historical Society
Bolton Scholarship Fund
Bolton Education Foundation
Bolton Community News
Bolton Lion's Club (looking for a Liaison)

Senior Luncheonseniorluncheon@boltonwomensclub.org
The Senior Luncheon Committee arranges a fabulous meal for the seniors in town. They coordinate the main dishes, side dishes and desserts made by volunteer members as well as coordinate the volunteers needed to serve and entertain. Those volunteering for the luncheon enjoy the time as much as our local seniors do.

Sunshine Committee sunshine@boltonwomensclub.org
When a member has a baby, an operation, or a difficult time, members offer to cook dinners for them, pick up some shopping, or watch their children for a few hours to help out. The Sunshine Committee organizes these efforts.

Tag Sale
The Tag Sale Committee organizes a town wide tag sale on the town green.  They coordinate the weekend with town officials, rent tables to members/non-members and are on hand to help the day run smoothly.

Wadsworth Atheneum

Flower Festival: Fine Arts and Flowers: 2005 was the first year the Bolton Women's Club participated in this unique four day show of art interpretation through blossoms and greenery. The club receives a photograph of a painting or sculpture in the museum that we must interpret through a floral arrangement. We brainstorm ideas, select flora and make a test arrangement before finalizing our masterpiece. A Saturday morning “field trip” to the show lets us view the artwork other entrants were assigned and critique their interpretation. No experience is necessary to join this fun committee, just a willingness to explore your creative side.

Festival of Trees: The Bolton Women's Club donates an item for the Wadsworth's Festival of Trees.  The Chairperson decides what they'd like to create then asks members to help bring their idea to life.  It's a fun event and members often learn a new craft or skill in the process.
