Letter from GFWC International President Mary Ellen Laister
Dear Fellow GFWC Members:
It is with a great deal of enthusiasm that we provide you with the 2012-2014
GFWC Club Manual. Thank you to the chairmen, committees, and staff who have
diligently worked to put together the informative materials.
As we work to add partners and enhance what each program offers, we will
update the Club Manual on the GFWC website to reflect these additions. Refer to the
Club Manual Revisions document at www.GFWC.org/ClubManual to learn what
updates have been made to each section, and when.
You will notice a few changes to the Community Service Programs and
Reporting. Each Community Service Program has two equal chairmen—a Community
Service Program Chairman and a Community Service Program Partnership Chairman.
The word Collaboration has been eliminated from the Community Service Programs.
Clubs will no longer report to GFWC. Rather, each State President will provide a
completed Statistical Form with totals for all General, Junior, and Juniorette clubs in the
state to GFWC. This simple and easy-to-complete form will be customized to each
reporting year. There will be an Awards Program for states based on membership
categories established at the beginning of each administration. Each State
Federation may submit one entry for each of the two Special Projects, two for each of
the six Community Service Programs (one for program projects and one for partnership
projects), and each of the six Advancement Areas, according to the State Award Entry
Cover Sheet guidelines to the appropriate GFWC Chairman.
In addition, each State Federation may submit one club entry in each of the two
Special Projects, two for each of the six Community Service Programs (one for program
projects and one for partnership projects), and each of the six Advancement Areas,
according to the Club Creativity Award Entry Cover Sheet guidelines. Clubs will not
submit entries. Refer to the Reporting section of the Club Manual for more information,
including sample forms.
I sincerely hope this GFWC Club Manual will meet your club’s needs and help
you continue your vital volunteer service in your community.
Yours in Federation,
Mary Ellen Laister
2012-2014 GFWC International President

Letter from GFWC of Tennessee President Sandy Lindeman
Ladies, we have some big shoes to fill.
Since the beginning of the Federation, women volunteers have been diligently
working to improve their communities, help those in need, and support the educational
and social systems that are so vital for us all. In the past, we have built libraries,
supported shelters for the homeless and abused, provided schools with materials and
students with supplies and food. We, the women of Tennessee, have a tradition of
service to our communities, our youth, our elderly and each other.
The last decades have brought fundamental changes to our society, and
particularly to the roles of women. Each year, more women enter the work force and
find themselves pressed for time and pulled in several directions. Because women have
been the backbone of volunteerism, the movement out of the household and into the
larger world has lead to a decline in the number of women involved in service
organizations. Service is in danger of becoming an old shoe.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. We have faced so many challenges in the
past. The challenge of adapting to a new reality will not daunt us. There are ways to
attract volunteers even if it means we don’t do things in quite the same way anymore.
There are ways to continue in the important work we have done and are doing, we just
need to use our collective creativity and commitment to find those ways.
Ladies, it’s time to put on some new shoes, honoring those that led the way, but
choosing those that will help us forge a new path, a more adaptable path. We can make
this happen. And we will.
In Federation Love,
Sandy Lindeman

Letter from GFWC Director of Junior Clubs
Rebecca “Becky” Weber
My fellow members,
TEAMWORK is the battle cry for the GFWC Juniors in 2012-2014. As GFWC
members, we have the power to change lives, improve communities, and enrich our
own lives. Generals, Juniors, and Juniorettes all have one strong common thread – our
willingness to share our times, talents, and expertise by enhancing the lives of others
through volunteer service.
In addition to sharing our compassion, enthusiasm, and commitment, we all
must unite to tackle the “membership challenge.” The future of our remarkable
organization is in our hands. International President Mary Ellen Laister and I are
working together to unite all clubwomen in accomplishing our vision of more members
and more clubs! Now more than ever, we need to UNITE, DIVERSITY, and
MULTIPLY, while “living each day trying to accomplish something, not merely to
exist!” NOW is the time to use our resources and energy to revitalize our Federation.
My goals during these next two years are to encourage strong and energetic
Junior leadership as well as work on effective strategies for the transitions of members
from Juniorette to Junior to General clubs.
In Federation Friendship and Love,
Becky Weber

A Collect for Club Women
A prayer of petition by Mary Stewart
Keep us, oh God, from pettiness;
Let us be large in thought, in word, in deed.
Let us be done with fault finding and leave off self-seeking.
May we put away all pretense and meet each other face to face,
without self-pity and without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous.
Let us take time for all things; make us to grow calm, serene, gentle.
Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straightforward and unafraid.
Grant that we may realize it is the little things that create differences,
that in the big things of life we are at one*.
And may we strive to touch and to know the great, common, human heart of us all.
And, oh Lord God, let us forget not to be kind.
(*There has been some confusion as to whether the phrase should be “at one” or “as one”. May Stewart used the first
phrase. Even though that phrase is archaic, her words should not be changed as the collect is the original work of an
individual. Please assure that your Club Handbooks reflect the proper usage.)
GFWC of Tennessee Official Pledge
We pledge ourselves:
• to use our united strength to make better homes, better schools, better
surroundings, better scholarships, and better lives.
• to work together for civil health and civic righteousness;
• to preserve our heritage – the forest and the natural beauties of the land;
• to procure for our children an education, which fits them for life – the training of
the hand and the heart as well as the head;
• to protect the children. . . who are deprived of the birthright of natural
childhood;
• to obtain right conditions and proper safeguards for the women who toil.
Junior Pledge
By Helen Chaney Kimberly
I pledge my loyalty to the Juniors
by doing better than ever before
what work I have to do,
by being prompt, honest, courteous,
by leaving each day,
trying to accomplish not merely to exist.

Art is essential to the quality of life! The GFWC Arts Community Service Program

coal, etc., to those in need. A few fund-raising projects are held each year, but the

accepts donations of clothing and household items that are new or in good shape and
then resells them to the county populations. All funds raised or collected go to the
children and their families. This program receives no federal money and needs the
support of everyone. In addition to helping meet basic needs, The Unicorn Fund
awards six scholarships each year. Please send donations of money, clothing, etc.,
directly to:

A Summary
Any member of GFWC is encouraged to participate in ESO. It’s easy- you love to read
and others love to hear about what you are reading. There is an ESO reporting form in
this manual. Make as many copies as you need, or have your Education Chair make
copies for the whole club. Three books can be reported on a single form.
The form is slightly different from the past in that there are now places to record hours
spent reading and cost, if any, of the book(s) you have read. These have been added for
more accurate reporting but using them is optional. The absolutely must-be-there
information on the form is
name, address and phone number of the reader
the names of her club and district
book title and author
fiction or non-fiction
setting
brief summary
For children’s books, please also include to whom the book was read and whether or
not they enjoyed it.
