Silver Spoon Awards

Our 43rd Annual Silver Spoon Awards Tea, is the highlight of the year. This volunteer-recognition event encompasses all the non-profit organizations within our City and surrounding areas. Each organization selects an award recipient and they are then honored by the GGCWD. Attendance is approximatly 400 persons on this special day. We would like to invite you to join us in honoring these special people. Please contact the Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce at (714)638-7950 to secure a seat at this year's upcoming event.

The Women's Division honors 10 Garden Grove Unified School District students each year with a Student Awards luncheon and an award of $150 for their efforts in pursuring a vocation through ROP (Regional Ooccupational Programs.) These students must meet certain requirements in their academics to qualify for this award. They are picked by their teachers and counselors for their outstanding performances. We are proud to present these students with not only a monetary award but also recognition from the elected officials and businesses in our community. We are proud to support them in pursuing their future career goals.

The Women's Division participated in the making of a Comfort Quilt. Thirty-five City-based organizations contributed a square with their logo either sewn, embroidered, cross-stitched, painted or a computerized photo on it. These were then stitched together by a group of quilting enthusiasts. This was prestented to Mayor Bruce Broadwater at the City's Annual Mayor's Prayer Breakfast on January 22, 2004.
