| GFWC of
Massachusetts, Junior Membership is a part of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs and GFWC of Massachusetts.
Since it was
founded in
1890, the General Federation of Women's Clubs has been a unifying
force, bringing together local women's clubs from around the country
and throughout the world. Although there is considerable diversity in
the ages, interests, and experiences of GFWC clubwomen, all are united
by a dedication to community improvement through volunteer service.
Accomplishments
during GFWC's first century include: establishing 75 percent of the
country's public libraries, developing kindergartens in the public
schools, and working for food and drug regulation.
During
its second century, the Federation has pledged to maintain its
commitment to working for a better world. With "Unity in Diversity" as
its motto and a strong umbrella of programs that clubs may adapt to
suit the needs of their communities, GFWC encourages the flexibility
that has enabled it to expand its reach in a rapidly changing society.
GFWC of
Massachusetts
has it's headquarters in Sudbury, MA where many of the organizations
meetings take place.
