Fellowship
I joined this amazing club because I loved the idea of giving back to my community through volunteering, and supporting local charitable organizations that help women and children in need. I love that we have so many different opportunities to donate our time to, and realizing what a huge impact we make in the community that we all live in. Raising money from our fundraising events, and seeing other organizations thrive from the help we’ve been able to provide is one of the most fulfilling aspects of Progress for me. I also love that I have had the opportunity to make great networking connections, and that has led to developing the most wonderful relationships and friendships with a “sisterhood” of like-minded women who now feel more like family to me. Joining the club has also helped me develop my personal growth by taking on leadership roles that fit my personality. I've been involved with many organizations over the years, but this one definitely has felt "right" for me from the very first meeting I attended.

“For me, I joined the club because I wanted to give back to the community I live in. What I wasn’t expecting was all of the great women I would meet and all of the friendships that would develop out of my involvement with the Progress Club. It’s not only within the women’s club here, but we form great connections with the men’s club in Halifax and other clubs within the region and across the country. There is definitely a social component to our club and we have a Social Committee that organizes opportunities for us to get together and have a great time – for all the hard work we do. Whether its meeting for a glass of wine, a BBQ in the summer, or a sleigh ride in the winter – the fellowship that all of us feel towards each other is one of the rewards that stands out for me as a Club Member.”

Our goal is to assist others in need and to encourage fellowship while working together as a team. Fellowship is about extending friendship and support to others, whether it is in our own club, in other Progress clubs, or in the community.
Halifax Citadel members enjoy fellowship at social events, fundraising events, community service projects and more.
Inter-clubbing events promote attendance and participation in other Progress Club and community functions such as the Big Spring Auction, the Celebrity Sports Dinner, Special Olympics Dinner, etc.
Conventions are held at the National and Regional levels.
Clubs are encouraged to attend other Progress Club meetings. This provides an opportunity to interact with fellow Progressians, share information, and—most importantly—have fun!
