Introducing Committee Member Pat Fleming

We are pleased to introduce the members of the GKWC Garden of Roses 2016 Roses & Pearls Champagne Brunch & Auction Event Planning Committee. Through a series of  questions and answers, you’ll meet Club members who may have served on the committee in the past, as well as new members who are assuming roles for the first time.

Say hello to Pat Fleming, the 2016 Garden of Roses Marketing Coordinator Committee Chair.

• How long have you been a member of GKWC? Since 2007
• How did you hear about GKWC and what prompted you to join?  I heard about the club from a friend and neighbor, Linda Boylan, who invited me to an Evening Group meeting. Everyone was so welcoming and the more I learned about the philanthropic and community service mission of the Club, I knew I wanted to be a part of it.
• Is this the first time you've volunteered for the Garden of Roses fundraising committee?  No
• If not, list other volunteer roles have you held with prior Garden of Roses fashion shows/fundraisers?  I’ve been involved in some capacity practically every year since I joined GKWC, volunteering on various committees, and I was Event Co-Chair in 2011.
• What are you most looking forward to with the 2016 fundraiser and your role?   I’m really looking forward to increasing public awareness for the Event through a more concentrated social media marketing effort, including our new Garden of Roses Blog, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram pages, as well as posting our videos on YouTube. By increasing public awareness, we hopefully will reach additional sponsors, donors and guests who would like to be involved with the Event and support the charities in the community. Also, working with a group of dedicated women with a common goal is always rewarding.
  

The next time you see Pat, please join us in thanking her for her years of service and continuing to volunteer her time and talents to benefit GKWC and the community.
