Gloria Strayer

The Ebell Club of Anaheim, a cultural organization of women, was organized in November 23, 1907.  It is a non-profit corporation whose main purpose is advancement in all lines of culture and promotion of the best interest in the community.  One of our main projects is awarding scholarships to local high school seniors each spring to continue their education, which is supported through our monthly fundraising programs.  We also participate in numerous other outreach projects throughout the year individually, and through our affiliation with the California Federation of Women's Clubs (Orange District), and the General Federation of Women's Club International. 

On November 7, 2013, for the 9th year in a row, we shipped out 325 Christmas Stockings, sewn by our members and filled with hygiene items, food and candy to our military personnel serving in Afghanistan.  This program's success has relied on donations from friends of Ebell and many of our local businesses and retailers. 

In 2012, Gloria Strayer of Design & Print Resource, Inc. in Anaheim, CA became a generous donor to Ebell by offering the service of printing our monthly Ebellaire Newsletter, and has continued to do so through our current club year in 2013-2014.  While attending our monthly luncheon meeting in October of this year as a guest, Gloria learned that our donations of many toiletry items for our Military Stocking Project were lower than expected this year and within a few short weeks, we had a phone call from her that she had obtained the items we were in need of.  In fact, we ended up with an over surplus of items that we will gratefully be able to use for another local outreach project beginning in January 2014, the Washcloth Project, where we will be putting together personal care kits to be donated to local women's shelters. 

Ebell Club of Anaheim extends its gratitude to Gloria Strayer of Design & Print Resource, Inc. and their support of non-profit organizations within the community.
