Since 1973 Gloria has been a member of the Florida Business and Professional Women’s Club. Throughout the many years of the organization, she has championed the fundraising arm of the group by creating many ideas to raise money to provide scholarships for women in financial need to further their education. It was during the time Gloria was serving as the National Foundation Chair for the Florida Business and Professional Women’s Club that she made prints of her paintings and offered them as a fundraiser for Florida’s contributions to the Career Advancement Scholarship Program.
Now being sidelined with an injury and unable to travel much, she still had the desire to assist in fundraisers for scholarships to further the career of women who could not afford school.
In honor of a friend and hairdresser of 45 years, she opened a campaign to sell the note cards with a percentage going into the Nita McMillan Cosmetology Scholarship Fund. Gloria wants to continue to share her cards with the hope that “my style of painting will be your joy.”
Today at the age of 87, the New Age artist is devoting her volunteer hours to the Mt. Juliet Senior Activity Center. The Artist’s hand-painted glassware, note cards, bookmarks, and coffee cups can be seen at the Basement Marketplace in Old Hickory, TN. Note cards can also be seen in booth #304 at #Basement Marketplace on Facebook. A portion of all sales will go to the Senior Center Building Fund.
