Check out Last Year's Activities for a sample of what is coming up:
The General Federated Woman’s Club of Morristown, a 501 (c) (3) organization, is chairing the event. The club won a GFWC-Arizona award in 2006 for working with the Maricopa County Library District to get bookmobile service started as a first step toward getting a permanent library for our underserved and growing population and for ongoing sponsorship and participation in literacy programs in the local schools. Proceeds from this event will go toward meeting these two goals.
GFWC is an international organization of community-based women's clubs which have been working for 117 years to address the most pressing needs of their communities. Seventy-five percent of the nation’s libraries are in existence today because of GFWC efforts.
