Tea at the Unicorn Wine Guild

When you think of clubwomen what do you imagine?  Ladies in their finest daywear sitting around the parlor sipping tea from fine china?  Hats, gloves and stoles?  Ladies of leasure talking about the lastest book and gossip?  I won’t deny that these are clubwomen.  But, today’s clubwoman is most often employed outside the home and active in making the town a better place to live through scholarships, health clinics, recycling projects, the list goes on.  Women from age 14 on are welcome to join the General Federation of Women’s Clubs.  If there isn’t a club in your community, please consider starting one.   If there is, consider contacting them and showing interest in membership.  They may not be in the phone book, so ask around.  The local Chamber of Commerce probably knows if there is one in your town. There’s nothing wrong with Divas or Red Hatters or Sweet Potato Queens.  Many clubwomen belong to those groups, too.  However, GFWC clubs provide a lasting legacy of community improvement.  So, would you like to have fun AND do something that will help your community?  Go to www.gfwc.org.  Check them out.  It’s a great way to gain personal satisfaction, friends and leadership and job training.  They are a great group of volunteer women getting done what needs to be done.
