Did you know? In 1984, the Women's History & Resource Center was founded during the term of Int’l Pres. Juanita Bryant of NC. The WHRC collects, preserves, interprets & promotes the history of GFWC. It is available for research by clubwomen, academics, and the general public.
WHRC holds historic articles from every state and many clubs. Their artifacts are preserving the history of our clubs and the many successful service projects around the world. #BenefitsofBelonging #GFWCNC #GFWC #FederationSisters #GFWCNCJointheRhythm #WeareGFWC #BetterTogether

Childhood Adverse Experiences (ACEs) categorized as child abuse and neglect can lead to death. All children need safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments to thrive. #GFWC #GFWCNC #GFWCNCAdvocates #PositiveChildhoodAlliance
WAY TO GO! A huge thank you to our GFWC- NC members who took action in the Legislative Action Center.

75% of fatal victims are women. We should be horrified. Teach women how to see the signs and leave safely. Our lives are at stake with the person that is supposed to love and care for us the most. #GFWC #GFWCNC #GFWCNCJointheRhythm #GFWCNCStopDomesticViolence #SpeakUpAndSpeakOut
Welcome to Convention! We will all enjoy our time with Federation Friends while celebrating our accomplishments and sharing ideas along the way. #GFWC #GFWCNC #weareGFWC #gfwcncconvention
Did you know? GFWC Convention was held in Asheville in 1957. Clubwomen from across the state took pride in proving that southern hospitality wasn't a myth. There were speakers, entertainers and club leaders from around the world. (Cont’d)
Among those in attendance were Vice President Richard Nixon and Pat Nixon, Carl and Paula Sandburg, Arlene Francis (TV star), and NC Governor Luther Hodges and Martha Hodges. #BenefitsofBelonging #GFWCNC #GFWC #FederationSisters #GFWCNCJointheRhythm #WeareGFWC #BetterTogether

As advocates for children, we shouldn’t be inflicting psychological or physical damage at home. Speak out if you think a child is being damaged at the hands of a parent or caregiver. #gfwc #gfwcnc #gfwcncdiscoverthemagic #gfwcncjointherhythm #gfwcncadvocates4children
16 Million. Staggering. How we can be a part of the solution? Take action! For example: when DV legislation is in the Legislative Action Center, sign it and use your voice to make a difference! #GFWC #GFWCNC #GFWCNCJointheRhythm #GFWCNCStopDomesticViolence #SpeakUpAndSpeakOut
