- GFWC History | SAWC
GFWC History Overview GFWC clubs and clubwomen are the heart of not only the Federation but the communities in which they live and work. By Living the Volunteer Spirit, GFWC clubwomen transform lives each day, not simply with monetary donations but with hands-on, tangible projects that provide immediate impact. With a grassroots approach that often thinks locally but impacts globally, GFWC, its clubs, and its members remain committed to serving as a force for global good, as it has done since its formation. With more than 60,000 members in affiliated clubs in every state, the District of Columbia, and more than a dozen countries, GFWC members work in their own communities to support the arts, preserve natural resources, advance education, promote healthy lifestyles, encourage civic involvement, and work toward world peace and understanding. Mission 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 is proud to work side-by-side with several dynamic and impactful organizations. Together, we work to improve our communities and better our world. Canine Companions Heifer International Hope for Justice Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) March of Dimes Operation Smile St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Shot@Life U.S. Fund For UNICEF Our Story Founded in 1890, GFWC’s roots can be traced back to 1868 when Jane Cunningham Croly, a professional journalist, attempted to attend a dinner at an all-male press club honoring British novelist Charles Dickens. Croly was denied admittance based upon her gender, and in response, formed a woman’s club—Sorosis. In celebration of Sorosis’ 21st anniversary in 1889, Jane Croly invited women’s clubs throughout the United States to pursue the cause of federation by attending a convention in New York City. On April 24, 1890, 63 clubs officially formed the General Federation of Women’s Clubs by ratifying the GFWC constitution. Since 1890, GFWC’s impact has been felt throughout communities across the United States and the globe. GFWC Headquarters It’s not just an office, it’s a home. GFWC Headquarters is a National Historic Landmark located at 1734 N Street, NW in Washington D.C. The building became GFWC’s official headquarters in 1922, and its historic Victorian style has been maintained through generous contributions from members and friends. Headquarters serves as the working office for the GFWC International President and staff , but it is so much more. It is also the home of the Women’s History and Resource Center , which collects, preserves, interprets, and promotes the history of the GFWC and women volunteers. Headquarters is the literal home to the GFWC International President during her two-year administration, with residences occupying 1734’s upper floors. Headquarters hosts events, such as the annual Women’s History Month event and Holiday Open House, and the property houses the popular Iron Gate Inn Restaurant . Finally, as a National Historic Landmark, GFWC Headquarters is a snapshot in time. The beautifully decorated rooms, furniture, and historical collections are certainly worth a visit !

- Environment | SAWC
Environment Our Mission The GFWC Environment Community Service Program encourages us to become stewards of the earth by working to preserve the world’s resources, protect wildlife and domesticated animals, live sustainably, and beautify our communities and enjoy nature. Environmental degradation is cumulative, and many scientists warn that we are at a tipping point. There is no time like the present to act. Where is SAWC's Garden on the Salem Bike Ped Corridor Our garden is located on Hampshire Road across the field from Pep Boys. GPS: 9 Hampshire Road, Salem, NH Before September 2023 April Update SAWC Trash Squad Takes on the Veterans Parkway April 11, 2024 Despite the gloomy and damp weather, a group of dedicated members swarmed the Veterans Memorial Parkway in Salem picking up litter. Donning high-visibility vests, boots, rain gear, hats, and gloves, they worked in pairs to tackle the task at hand. As they worked, the sound of laughter and chatter filled the air, and it was inspiring to see how the group remained cheerful and motivated. At one point, a member discovered a soaked $100 bill, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was a fake. Despite the false alarm, the group remained in high spirits and continued their efforts to keep the parkway clean and beautiful. Trash Warriors Anne Reynolds* Linda Simmons* *Committee Chairwoman Betty Gay Carol Demers Chrissy Baroni Cindy Curd Deb Slein Dee Stikeman Donna Mason Jaimie Baker Karen Roulston October Update Town Forest Clean-Up On October 21, members of the SAWC Environmental Committee teamed up with the Salem Conservation Commission to help maintain the Salem Town Forest. Linda Harvey, who is a member of both the Environment Committee and the Conservation Commission, along with Linda Simmons, Mike Banks, and Glen Edwards, volunteered to clear the brush on the Town Forest trails. The Salem Town Forest is situated on Shadow Lake Road, opposite Shadow Lake, and parking is available next to the NH Dept. of Transportation Salt Storage Shed. September Update SAWC Gets Dirty for a Good Cause To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key. The Salem Area Women's Club Plants a Stunning Garden For All To Enjoy. September, 2023 Fall is an excellent season for planting, and the Environment Committee of the Salem Area Women's Club took advantage of a beautiful September day to create a new garden along the Salem Bike-Ped Corridor. The garden is located by the Salem/Methuen border and welcomes visitors with various bushes, flowers, and grasses. The club plans to add annuals in the spring and continue maintaining the garden. SAWC is delighted to collaborate with the Friends of the Salem Bike-Ped Corridor in their efforts to enhance and beautify the corridor, which stretches from the Massachusetts border to the Windham Rail Trail. This particular section is a significant step towards the broader goal of the Granite State Rail Trail Association, which seeks to connect the rail trail from Salem to Lebanon, NH, creating a continuous trail that spans 100 miles.
