The Foundation also benefits from the club members’ use of the Kroger Neighbor to Neighbor Program and the Tom Thumb Good Neighbor cards.
The Foundation recognizes exceptional service of club members who have made major contributions of time and effort in furthering the success of the Fashion Show by awarding such individuals with their Gladys Barrett Award. To date, seven members have received this prestigious award. This coveted award is named after a dedicated Greater Keller Women’s Club member who was instrumental in establishing the Foundation and serving on its Board for many years.
