GFWC members support this important initiative with individual clubs planting Pinwheel Gardens in their communities. Several of the pictures above are from GFWC Four Corners Juniors' garden in 2019.
This year due to continuing precautions for Covid-19 we encourage everyone to donate by purchasing a pinwheel to decorate the Prevent Child Abuse America’s virtual garden.
"On April 24, 1890, the GFWC constitution was ratified and 63 clubs officially formed the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. With nearly 3,000 clubs and 100,000 members worldwide, we surely have come a long way since that day 126 years ago. Every year, Federation Day gives us the opportunity to reflect on where we have been as an organization, and look forward to what we will accomplish in the future.
“It occurred to them that union is strength. Then they began to reach out toward each other.”
This quote from GFWC clubwoman and author Julia Ward Howe in 1889 is still relevant today. Just like our fore-sisters in 1890, we continue to find strength in federation. GFWC unites us all to one common mission of improving the lives of others through volunteer service.
Let’s unite our voices and celebrate this amazing Sisterhood of Service on April 24, Federation Day."
