WISTARIA THRIFT SHOP VOLUNTEERS THANKED

The GFWC Sierra Madre Woman’s Club thanked the 44 of its volunteer members whose dedication 
to running their Wistaria Thrift Shop (the 2007 “best little thrift shop in the San Gabriel Valley” ) at 
a special luncheon at its clubhouse on June 26. One of the club’s major fundraisers, the 16 members 
of the Wistaria Shop’s Prep Crew are busy July through May curating, sorting, cleaning, pricing and 
preparing for display the wonderful stream of donations brought to the shop. The Wistaria Retail 
Shop itself is open from September’s 1st Thursday through the end of May on Mondays, Thursdays, 
Fridays and 1st and 3rd Saturdays, 10 am to 3 pm. Shop volunteers love receiving your clean, gently 
used donations (no furniture) preferably on weekday mornings. In addition to contributing to the 
upkeep of the club’s 1914 craftsman-style Essick House, the Wistaria Shop contributes a major portion 
of its net proceeds to the club’s Charitable Donations, its seven annual $1,000 Academic Scholarships, 
as well as helping to build up its renovation fund. Other SMWC club fundraisers include Essick 
House rentals, the recent Jazz & Wine in the Garden, Fashion Show, Lattes & Literature and Games 
Tea. SMWC members are also support our community through such events as its July 4th Pre-Parade 
Open House, its November Community Prayer Breakfast, the Wistaria Festival and the Mt. Wilson 
Trail Race.
