Chapin Woman’s Club is a part of a much larger, international organization of over 80,000 volunteer women, the General Federation of Women’s Clubs.
GFWC’s new president has challenged
all clubs around the world to do a service project on Martin Luther King Day as part of her 7 Grand Initiatives.
In order to do our part to fulfill this challenge, Chapin Woman’s Club will be collecting shoes (gently used or new)
to be sent to Soles4Souls.
Soles4Souls disrupts the cycle of poverty by creating sustainable jobs and providing relief through the distribution of shoes and clothing around the world.
|
|
Since 2006, they have distributed more than 30 million pairs of shoes in 127 countries (including our own for recent Hurricane Florence and Hurricane Michael relief) and generated over $250 million in economic impact. A non-profit social enterprise, Soles4Souls commits 100% of donations to programs.
|
Chapin Woman’s Club simply asks that you check your closets for shoes you no longer wear, your children’s shoes that no longer fit, or shoes you purchased that you wore once or twice and said “Never again!” and bring them to one of our drop off locations Crooked Creek Park and the
Chapin Chamber of Commerce
between now and Martin Luther King Day, January 21st.
We will take it from there!

The mechanic or auto technician who is working on your car is essentially a car doctor. You wouldn't go to a doctor who wasn't a licensed MD. So, how can you be sure the car-doctor / auto technician working on your car has the experience, enterprise and skill to be repairing and servicing your vehicle?

NATIONAL HOT BUTTERED RUM DAY
|
Depending on where you are on this January day, it may be warm, chilly, cold or frigid. Enjoying a hot buttered rum drink would sure be a good way to warm up if you are in one of the latter three of those options. Join with thousands of others across the United States, as they celebrate National Hot Buttered Rum Day, an annual January 17th occurrence.
A mixed drink containing rum, butter, hot water or cider, sweetener and spices (typically cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves), hot buttered rum is especially favored during the fall and winter months and is sometimes associated with the holiday season.
|
|
In the United States, hot buttered rum’s history dates back to the colonial days. It was in the 1650s when Jamaica began importing molasses to Colonial America. New England started opening distilleries where the colonists then began adding distilled rum to hot beverages such as toddies and nogs, creating hot buttered rum, eggnog and others.
Hot buttered rum is often made by blending a buttered rum batter with dark rum. Dark rum is rum which has been barrel-aged for an extended length of time to retain a more intense molasses flavor. Those that prefer a milder or a spicier taste may choose the option of using light rum or spiced rum mixed with the batter.
|
|
NATIONAL BOOTLEGGER'S DAY
|
National Bootlegger’s Day is observed annually on January 17th.
January 17 is the birthday of Templeton Rye Whiskey, bootlegger Al Capone and the son of another bootlegger, Meryl Kerkhoff.
The earliest use of the term bootlegger was during the 1880s in the Midwest when one would conceal flasks of liquor in their boot tops when going to trade with Native Americans.
The term found its permanent place in the American vocabulary when Congress passed the Eighteenth Amendment prohibiting the manufacture, transportation and sale of alcohol in 1920.
Despite now being illegal, thirsty Americans still had a demand for liquor. While some distilleries switched their production to something legal, others took to bootlegging.
|
|
Bootleggers helped fill the demand by smuggling various brews from Canada and Mexico, and later distilling their own liquor in backwoods and secluded areas. They brought their loot back to sell to speakeasies, individuals and other establishments.
Other terms, such as rum-runner and moonshiner, became popular during this time as well.
Bootlegging has a legendary history. The Mafia arose out of the illegal and coordinated activities of bootlegging. Storied names like Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, Alphonse Kerkhoff and Bugs Moran are surrounded by glamor, danger and mystery.
Prohibition was repealed in 1933 when Congress ratified the 21st Amendment.

GET TO KNOW
YOUR CUSTOMERS DAY
|
Get to Know Your Customers Day is observed annually on the third Thursday of each quarter (January, April, July, October). This is a day to reach out to your patrons and get to know them better.
When businesses get to know your customers, you also get to know more about you need to grow. Remember when Main Street businesses were locally owned and operated? The owners knew you by name and knew your shopping habits. They typically knew what you wanted to buy, and if they didn’t have it, they were willing to get it in for you.
|
|
With the advent of the Internet and big-box stores, much of the personal attention has gone by the wayside. Get to Know Your Customers Day is a day to turn that around. Make it a point to get to know a little more about your customers and make each of them feel like they are your most important customer of the day.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Grow your business by taking the time to get to know your customers. You’ll be planting a seed that will flourish! Use #GetToKnowYourCustomersDay to post on social media.
