For information about GFWC please press button below:
The General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC), one of the world's largest and oldest nonpartisan, nondenominational, women's volunteer service organizations, was founded in 1890 and chartered by the 56th United States Congress in 1901. GFWC's eight regions hold annual conferences in the fall to share ideas, learn current GFWC information, attend workshops, and conduct important business, including elections. It's the perfect time to enjoy fun, festivities, and Federation friends. The GFWC International President and GFWC President-elect attend each of the eight region conferences.
The General Federation of Women’s Clubs is an international women’s organization dedicated to community improvement by enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service.
GFWC members, from ages 12 to 102, live in cities, suburbs, and rural communities around the globe. They are working women, stay-at-home moms, retirees, and students, united by a shared commitment to volunteer community service.
Members of GFWC clubs are encouraged to focus their efforts on Community Service Programs and Special Projects in Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention and Advocates for Children.
I know that you have read about the inaugural GFWC Day of Service, to be held on September 30. AND... that's during our Region Conference!
So, after consulting with Suellen, I have "registered" MAR for the Day. I'm attaching the News & Notes that announced the Day. Will you please use the information to encourage MAR clubs to register and plan an activity for the day. During the Conference, there will be activity(ies) to support this initiative (do we have a choice???). The message to clubs could be that while we hope to have many attend MAR in Atlantic City, of course not all members of every club will attend, so plan something in local communities. Other information can be found in the News & Notes article.
Let me know if you have questions... and as always, thank you for all you do to keep MAR in the social media platforms!!
Hugs,
Mary Pat

STATE PRESIDENTS AND DIRECTOR OF JUNIOR CLUBS:
Please be sure to read the Nominating Chairman's article, along with the Region Jennie June Award Chairman, for reminders of important dates.
Also, remember that the Region will not implement the Constant Contact platform this year, so it is your responsibility to forward this newsletter to your membership utilizing whatever digital method in use in your state. THANKS SO MUCH!!!
And again, thank you for ALL you do to share "Joy in Service, Pride in Achievement, United in Friendship" with each of your Federation sisters!
Hugs,
Mary Pat
