Lifetime membership is awarded to exemplary members who have served the club and the Wilson community for more than 40 years. Dale moved to Wilson in 1976 and joined the club the following year. She has served as chair of the Garden Department and as a National Flower Show judge since 1988. Winstead joined the club in 1979 and has served as second vice president and membership chair. Both women have actively participated in club departments (American Home and Fine Arts, Public Affairs and Garden) and fundraisers such as the home tours and more recently, the Halloween and spring boutiques. Their dedication to service, their love for the Woman’s Club and the lasting friendships made over the years are recognized by this honor, said Marla Parker, center.]]>
