31. The following time table is suggested for council meetings/workshops:
Presidents' Councils are usually held once or twice a year with attendance limited to the club presidents (or her alternate) and perhaps a traveling companion. This limited attendance provides an excellent opportunity to learn the federation programs in detail, to find solutions to problems, to share ideas, and to make lasting friendships as well as to obtain information and exchange ideas. The director usually makes arrangements for the meeting and presides, but in a few districts, the presidency of the council is rotated annually among the club presidents.
Districts may also hold other workshops to which not only presidents are invited, but also may be open to others (or all) in the district. Districts average three to five workshops per year. Many topics of mutual interest are discussed, such as service and financial projects, honor score, reporting, membership, orientations, and leadership training. State chairmen
. or chairmen from your district are especially good resources for district workshops. Joint general-junior meetings may be helpful occasionally (perhaps the last one held each year).
Lunch at any meeting is optional, but gives additional time to become acquainted and to have a further exchange of ideas. Expenses should be kept to a minimum for these luncheons, perhaps even a "brown bag", covered dish, or salad for those who wish to stay. Keeping expenses down will encourage attendance at the workshops.
The following time table is suggested for council meetings/workshops:
Near September 1 — To bring presidents and their vice presidents up-to-date on materials the director may have received or meetings she may have attended during the summer; to stress the importance of club representation at Fall Board; to answer questions; and to discuss Honor Score. (This is a good meeting for sharing problems and discussing possible solutions.)

38. Let us not forget to remember what has made GFWC great.
Through her dedication to women’s clubs, she revealed a commitment to women helping each other obtain the education and other reforms the society of men had failed to support. Jennie June was looking ahead, not behind.
